Don't wash it, its wool. That's simply the properties of wool, especially tweed as it is a very rough and textured weave. Also, more than likely, Tim, If that thing firstly fits you in the waist, I'd also probably get it taken in at the waist. What does it fit like?

What's wrong with feminine influence in style? More to the point, I don't think much of the recommendations in here are effeminate, either.

You need to have truck loads of confidence to pull of these 5 panel snapbacks. I dig them, but don't suit them, nor do they fit into my style.

And now I don't have a girlfriend. This is not my day.
Shit dude. Spill?

I'm sorry Shiny, you look kinda, I never would'a guessed you'd look like that?
He has posted lots of picture of himself here. How have you not seen them?
I've only started OT in Jan or Feb, lots of time to miss photos...
Well, now I'm curious! What did you think I'd look like?

Fair call on the comment on the sizing. I think an open leg space could also work well. I want to minimise stretching, through growth. Will that ultimately be a problem?
English isn't my native language, but do you mean growth as in, for example, exercising and getting "bulkier legs"? If so, that really won't be a problem. The skin has an amazing ability to adapt, so unless you plan on going on a steroid binge and increase your muscle mass by over 200% in a very, very short time, you've no reason to worry.
You picked me up perfectly. In that case, I might go for a thigh tattoo.

I'm going to be getting a tattoo next month, hopefully. Around 3.5" x 2.5, so nothing huge, on the side of my body. I'm thinking of a camera design, since it means a lot to me. I consider myself a photographer, and it is a passion of mine. These were mocked up by me in illustrator (live trace, and tablet).
If you had any thoughts about the tattoo, or placement feel free to chip in. Also, I need to find a tattoo artist, though I'll probably go to my older brother's one. I'm getting quite excited!

Me and my bros. I'm on the far left.

Gray and pink is just you, I think it is a heavenly combo. Thanks for the compliments regarding the glasses and shirts. Fair comment on the footwear, they're chelsea boots and certainly not to everyone's taste. Agreed on the clunky shoe comment, I think you need larger leg openings to pull them off. On the navy chinos the leg opening is crazy slim. Agreed on the lapels. Personally, I dig the whole peak lapel thing happening right now on blazers, but its not to everyone's taste. Fuller pants I would say don't really flatter me. My legs are incredibly slim, its hard enough right now to find properly fitting slim, and relatively straight cuts. These are 511s in the next picture. This is what I'm wearing tonight to a friend's 18th.

This is what I mean:
Points to note: Sleeves are too short on the blazer, but they are also bunched at my elbow because I failed at putting my arm through. haha. Pants would go over the boots, not bunch on top.
Heavyweight ASOS navy chinos, vintage shoes, Uniqlo pink ocbd, polo Ralph Lauren pocket square, ASOS grey blazer. Thoughts?
This is a more casual outfit for me these days:
Shirt mtm from India, same navy chinos, vintage brogues, vintage plaited belt

Still riding on my scimitar, weekly. As the weather packs in I'll be doing less and less, though I still like to go to my old haunts.

A good note to re-arrive on, Duff.

I know that feel. Racheya is a fairly unique name and I've used it for years everywhere. My solution has been to completely isolate Racheya from my full name and anything which an employer would look at, mainly my Facebook. There shouldn't be anything incriminating if they looked at my Facebook and searching my name just gets you the name of a photographer, and a model ;) I'm just hoping nobody who doesn't know Racheya can connect the dots to me irl.
I bet if I pass it off to 4Chan, with a photo of you and your location within England, they'd get you within 24 hours.

While the subject of charcoal flannel suits has passed, if you are still interested, Skull, Indochino are having a sale on their model. At $300 it sits within your price range. If you can get your measurements done by a third party, accurately, Indochino (generally) won't post a problem. With their $75 alteration credit, and a remake if it goes wrong there is not much to lose. An off the rack suit won't be worse fitting, at least.

There is nothing objective about my claim, sure. One can't say that if there were no humans to judge my wearing a black suit in the day, then there would be nothing wrong (on any level) with it. But the thing is opinions are precisely what matters, namely the opinions of others. It is a widely held belief than black suits shouldn't be worn during the day--although significantly less so now that men understand next to nothing about clothing, compared to the 1930s--and therefore they shouldn't. It's not about what I think, it's about what a significant fraction of people you're not aware of think.
According to classic menswear rules, a black suit--the most formal of them--should not be worn with casual eyewear, a shirt any other color than white, and a tie anything other than black; according to those same rules, that jacket is too short, so are the sleeves, the shirt collar is too small (its collar points aren't tucked underneath the lapels as should be the case), and that is a shiny shoelace, not a tie.
I think there is an objective case regarded the topic. It is alright to say that black doesn't flatter many skin tones, nor is as versatile as you would think. It doesn't go with many colours, except for (in theory) grey, and white, and tan. That last point is illustrated in this photo: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-17lel0tNAEM/Twdk6wJIFAI/AAAAAAAABUo/1ASi1daGqMs/s1600/214.jpg.

Its more an opinion shared by the majority of figures educated about fashion. Black simply looks out of place in the day, because of its connotations with funerals, and evening wear. Black sportcoats and blazers have no place in anyone's wardrobes, as navy fulfills everything black attempts to do anymore.
A black, shiny blazer with a red shiny shirt makes you look like you attempted to dress yourself without properly giving it thought. It just looks amateur-ish.

Ugh that black blazer is terrible.
IRL tuna potato

Take the potato out, put it in a bowl with the corn, heat in microwave. Take out and mix together, spoon ack into the potato shell, put cheese on top and grill it in tinfoil, or put it in the microwave again for a few minutes. Now, that's good shit.
