New Suit

Back in October, I went shopping for a new suit. I noticed that my favorite brand, Kenneth Cole, was on sale, half off. Fortune was favoring me.

I took one of the blazers off the rack and tried it on, but I needed the next size up. I slid the hangers back and forth, looking, but they didn't have a 48 Regular, so I grabbed the 46R and took it to the cashier to ask if they had one in the back.

When I handed her the coat, she narrowed her eyes, pursed her lips, and silently sized me up.
"You realize this suit is a slim?"

There was a pregnant silence. "Yes," I replied. "That's why I am asking for the next size up from my normal 46R … to balance out the difference."
She looked doubtful but turned to her computer and hit some keys. Nope, they didn't have that size.

So, I bought a Ralph Lauren instead. Classic fit - not slim.
