i ended up getting a pretty slim-fit, italian cut suit today. never even tried one on before and i actually really like it. slightly short trousers, a jacket cut up over the waist/butt at the back slightly... both can be worn casually with an oxford/brogues/boaters i guess. quite nice. not sure if i'll wear it to my graduation but it was an impulse buy, anyway.

Nice, I've been tempted by one but I'm not sure I'd have enough opportunities to wear it to justify buying one. Where did you get it from?

some bespoke tailoring place we have down here in the docklands at the fashion centre, i'll go dig the tag later. but i don't think they have more than one store so pretty pointless. it's nice. it's a little lighter than black, dark navyish, slim cut... didn't want anything too showy. was considering a grey suit to be different but ehh it's a graduation, why be different? plus gown is obviously black. don't want to look a twat.

I hope your graduation is airconditioned. It was insanely fucking hot with a suit and then the gown over the top.

Ive never been a big fan of pitch black. I have a navy blue one, and i would also like a grey one (dark grey that is)
But dark navy sounds pretty cool.

Yeah, i bought mine for general suit use i guess, but i never needed one until there was a funeral.
I wanted to go black, but that would make it a one time suit. (i dont go to a lot of funerals) So navy blue was perfect, still appropriate at the funeral and also for any other occasion i would need a suit for.

damnit. i ordered a 10.5 shoe size and it turns out it's too small even though my pair of nikes are 10.5 and fine, maybe these shoes just run smaller? now i have to return them for a bigger size.

question: should i go for a size 11 or would that still be too small? my toes touch a bit in the 10.5. so would the 11 be too small or go for 11.5?

i did dude, well wasn't a specialized shoe store but i looked around and couldn't find any decent ones for a good price so i went online.

any help on the original question? go for an 11 or 11.5 if the 10.5 was too small?

Go to another shoe store and find a pair that fit, then check the price online (assuming you have a phone capable of it). If it's not too much more at the store, just buy there and walk away shod.
