The Clothes Make the Man

Kim has ordered her dress so Saturday was my day to get my wardrobe in order. We picked up my dad and met Bobby and Aaron at West Town Mall to get fitted for tuxes. Bobby and Aaron arrived first and had been measured by the time we arrived. I showed the attendant what I was looking for in their brochure and she immediately started typing 200 words an minute but seemed to be getting nothing done.
Finally Kim was able to get her to show us in the showroom what we were ordering. After what seemed like an hour she finally measured me. She had me try on a few jackets but as usual the jackets that fit my waist don't fit my shoulders. My middle needs a size 43 and my top needs a size 50. She of course didn't know what to do so for now I am stuck with a jacket where the midsection looks like a before picture and the top looks like the after. Although I like having big arms it does make buying clothes an adventure sometimes. We decided that we would look into buying a tux out right and applying the money from the rental (that my dad so generously paid for) to that purchase. That way I can have it tailored to fit me and I won't have this problem next time I need a tux. Afterward we went by Neyland to take a couple of pictures. We're not sure how we will use them yet but we wanted them anyway.
