    The idea of a mobile phone on a chain doesn't seem as useful. Besides, a pocket watch will never embarrass you at the theater. :-)

    Show us your suits

    When I was being measured, it occurred to me that a person with sloped shoulders might be able to request that this adjustment be made without lowering the bottom of the armhole correspondingly. I may have to try this next time. The only trouble would be that raising the armhole without...
