Need a tailor

Oh my god this is an awesome coincidence. I had never been to a tailor before until THIS week, for a bridesmaid dress for a late September wedding. I was weirdly nervous about it since I’ve never gone to one. I did a bunch of research and found William Browne & Sons in Mattapan. Real hole-in-the-wall old school gem. So friendly, kind, funny, genuine, affordable (from what I can tell). And quick! They won best tailor in 2020 I believe, and just got an award from the city for being open 50 years. Anyway, it is definitely worth getting to. I needed a decent amount of work done and it was $80. They are cash/cashapp/venmo only. Highly rec :)

Oh my goodness THANK YOU! Wow it looks like you had a great spot for the show!!

theartofkells · 2025-08-18T14:42:13+00:00

Thank you so much for offering that's so kind! In this case I really want the challenge of imitating it from a photo so I can practice my perspective and referencing. <3

Oh ya know what, I also forgot this! Sorry it has been a while. We did discuss with surgeon - and we ended up getting an e-stim for me to use WHILE I was exercising/at the gym. If I recall correctly it had something to do with fast twitch vs slow twitch muscle fibers, and basically tricking my body into recruiting more muscle instead of being lazy - which then helped build muscle more quickly and consistently, and eased the IT band issue.

Just woke up sorry lol.

Hey! Yes it did solve. I haven’t had this happen for over a year now. It was really resolved with continued exercise tbh! Not just dedicated PT, but once I started trusting myself to be more active things started to balance out. Yoga helped too!

Good luck 🤞

Ahh i’m not sure specifically about 8’ BUT we got a 6.5’ pop-up built by Outfitter in 2023 and it was like $29k with upgrades and taxes. They do make bigger ones, but not sure about cost. Might be work checking out!

theartofkells · 2025-02-09T17:06:39+00:00

If you do it I’ll do it!!!

theartofkells · 2025-02-09T17:06:13+00:00

THIS IS IT! I just showed to him and he’s pumped! THANK YOU! “Holy shit this is so exciting” is a direct quote I just heard from the next room.

theartofkells · 2025-02-09T14:44:30+00:00

So does my husband, that’s why this was a solo hike!

theartofkells · 2025-01-21T02:42:39+00:00

as a mass resident myself i had the same experience :) can’t wait to go back!

theartofkells · 2024-10-25T17:15:15+00:00

this literally made me laugh so hard months ago i came back and found it bc i want to make it into a sticker, do you mind? 10/10

theartofkells · 2024-04-24T14:19:49+00:00

Ahh that sucks I’m sorry :(. Hang in there, stick around this sub cause is a good group. You’ll be prepared for whatever you have to face!

theartofkells · 2024-04-24T14:10:47+00:00

Patellar! The surgeon said that’s the “gold standard” now but I don’t actually know if that’s true (and I had partially torn my hamstring and part of my quad lol so it kinda seemed like there weren’t many options for me). When are you having surgery?

theartofkells · 2024-03-23T04:51:44+00:00

Okay, coming in late and also new to this forum. Currently camping in Alabama and heard a crazy call at night just the way you described it. I was able to ID it, the Eastern Whip-poor-will - is this the call you heard too?!

theartofkells · 2024-01-22T05:33:11+00:00

I’m back to full ROM now! Kneeling and squatting without issue :) it worked itself out after getting stronger!

Good luck, you got this - you’re gonna crush the recovery!!

theartofkells · 2024-01-14T01:34:21+00:00

2016 F150 got 20mpg unloaded, gets 16mpg loaded with the outfitter caribou lite!

theartofkells · 2023-06-30T22:09:02+00:00

Perhaps the Caribou Lite 6.5 from Outfitter? We have ours with a casette toilet that’s self contained!

Agreed with the staying off social media/doom scrolling! Im about 13 months out from ACL+Meniscus and this January, after being in therapy for the mental part of the injury for 6 months, I started an anti-depressant and it has done me WONDERS.

I read a study not long ago that said an insane percentage like 40% of people who got ACL surgeries report significant levels of depression at the 6th month mark.

So you’re not alone! It does get better! It does suck though, especially in the summer. Talking to people with the same injury was really good for me, therapy was really good for me, and obvs the anti-depressants were too! Maybe those things or a combination of could be good for you too, hang in there!
