The Hook Up

So I know a guy who always has The Hook Up.  Example?  Cheap parking downtown.  Quality meats.

I’m always skeptical of hook ups like that but when he said he knows a guy that knows a guy who travels around the world taking measurements and then making custom clothes in Hong Kong, I figured I’d give it a shot.

We met in a hotel on the south side.  There were a few other people there (all people I knew).  I picked out fabrics and was measured head to toe.  It’s about a month later and my first suit arrived.  That’s it in the picture.  Pretty sweet.

And while I’m mentioning the picture, I should point out that it was taken last night, 1AM, by the Lovely J who was simultaneously feeding The Critter.  So no judgments, OK?
And speaking of multi-tasking, blogging while holding him is also a bit difficult, but that’s another story.

Where was I?  Oh yeah: the suit.  It comes with two pair of pants and a monogrammed jacket.  Lots of great features.  Hidden pocket in the waistband. Reinforced rear side of the bottom of the pant leg near the cuff.

Pretty cool.  A totally worthwhile hookup.

I’m laughing because it’s funny. I was so happy to be a girl and not asked to be subject to the experience.

Congrats on the new fancy suit.
