GK 3.0 Kobe 6 -- should I go with size 13 or 12 if I'm a 12.5 in gen/authentic?

I have genuine Kobe 5, 6, and 8 (OG not protro) in size 12.5 as well as Lebron 21 that I'm playing in right now. Want to buy my first pair of reps, but should I go up to size 13 or down to 12? I've always worn 12.5 in Nikes. Most of my Adidas/other shoes are 12.5 as well.

Can someone make a timeline for future hearings/court dates and sticky the post?

It would be awesome to get a timeline for hearings, court dates, filings, etc. so that we can track what has happened and what's coming up. Anybody already done this? If so, can we sticky that post to the top/banner?

Who has ordered a KnotStandard suit through Nordstrom in the past few years? Any insights into the fit, construction quality, and fabric quality?

Hey everyone, ya'll recently helped and suggested I go with Zegna Centoventimila for an OTR suit from Nordstrom, but someone mentioned KnotStandard is their custom/made-to-measure option, so I'm looking for some insights, as the Nordstrom didn't have anything besides basic sample/fitting jackets in the store.

  1. What is the construction quality like compared to a high end suit from Zegna Couture?
  2. What is the fit like--did the photos/AI software create a good fitting suit for you? Did you need a bunch of extra alterations?
  3. How is the quality of the fabric?

Thank you for your help!

Should I go with ever slightly too small or a bit big Chevron Bead bracelet?

Hi team,

I have about 7.3" wrists, and the size S (for 7.0-7.5" wrist) Chevron Bead bracelet fits where it doesn't squeeze me, but it won't slide on its own or rotate at all unless I move it with my other hand. It can sit above or below my "wrist bone" (radius/ulna styloid process), but again, it doesn't move on its own at all. I can't fit a full finger in between the bracelet and my skin with pushing the skin in a little bit.

The size M (for 7.5-8" wrist per DY) can fit my thumb in between--it can slide a couple inches up my arm and rotate freely. It also drops down on my hand slightly farther than I'd like.

My thought is to stick with the small and get a link that will add 0.2cm/20mm in the clasp. I want to lose about 15 pounds over the next year, so this spacer link could be perfect until/if I lose 20 pounds.

I could wear the medium, but it's slightly too big (albeit still fine and wearable). Whaddya think? As far as I know, this isn't a bracelet where DY can easily shorten/lengthen it.

The size small fits on my like it does on the model below--perfectly hugging my wrist (but not squeezing in), and sitting about an inch below the styloid processes. But it does leave a slight mark when I take it off and might get uncomfortably tight on a really hot day.

Friend ready to gift me new off the rack suit--what is the nicest/best quality (price not an issue)?

Hey team, I have an incredibly generous family friend that is buying me a suit from Nordstrom for graduation. He's not giving me a gift card or shopping trip--he just wants to buy me an awesome suit, whether it's $100 or $10,000 (see please don't suggest getting multiple items instead of one expensive suit). Going full custom is not an option since it has to be from Nordstrom.

I'll be working with high net worth individuals, so I'm not going to stand out by wearing a nice suit; it'll be the expectation.

What is the nicest suit option from Nordstrom?

I'm looking at the Zegna Centoventimila suits since they seem to fit me well and also have awesome fabrics (prince of wales is amazing!). Are there any other options you'd consider? I liked some of the Peter Millar ones in pictures, but when I tried them on, they were all HUGE and boxy/old-man style. Didn't love the fit of the Canali options either. I found a couple Armani and Boss that fit me well, but apparently they're lower quality fabric and fused construction that won't last as long.

I already have one "workhorse" charcoal suit, and I'm not really asking for color/pattern/fabric advice; I just want to know if I should consider any other suits besides the Centoventimila line.

*This is not a fit check, wedding fashion help, or clothing ID. Just general discussion on what the best suit from Nordstrom is if money is no option and I don't want something that's big and boxy! Thank you!

New Driver: Titleist GT2 anywhere? What about genuine carbon G440?

Hi team, I have found plenty of G440 driver reps, but the carbon crowns are all just laser-etched patterns on metal--does a genuine carbon fiber rep exist?

Additionally, really interested in Titleist GT2 or GT3 driver rep, but I don't see any on AliExpress or anywhere else. Anybody have any directions?

▲ 126 r/lululemon

Last night, I drove 30 minutes in traffic after work to return a large online order of items that weren't available in store (thus the online order of lots of sizes). Unfortunately, none of the items fit well (curse Lululemon for changing the fit/style of items so much over the years). I wanted to try on some other things in store for a potential exchange, and I also didn't want to go through the hassle of putting $1000 of items in the mail and waiting for a refund that way, so I opted for the in-store return.

I got to the store, gave them my phone number, and the cashier started scanning the items in. Within a few seconds, a manager came over, halted the process, pulled me aside, and proceeded to give me a 15 minute sob story. She said (paraphrasing), "If you try to return these items, you're going to kill our store's numbers, and I'll lose my job. Lululemon corporate is 'horrible' and counts online returns against our sales. It'll absolutely destroy our store sales plan today. Thus, I can't process the return for you, but if you print out a shipping label for me, then I can box things up and mail them for you instead...but I'm not able to process the return here..."

She completely guilt-tripped me, and I felt bad for "costing her store sales numbers/her job," so I took everything and left....

Was she telling the truth? If so, why in the world would a "premium" brand like Lululemon create a system that screws over individual stores and incentivizes managers to make the customer go through an awful experience? The store didn't make commission on my online purchase, so they shouldn't have an online return come out of their numbers, right? Or is it just Lululemon creating greedy policies that incentivize managers to make it as hard as possible for customers to make a return?

I am so frustrated and confused. If the manager was telling the truth, I don't fault her for protecting her store/doing her job, but I'm never buying something from Lululemon again if they're pulling shady crap like this to screw their own customers and stores.

*the items were in the original box they shipped in and were returned the same day that they were delivered--most were still in the original plastic bags, as I only tried on two items and realized the sizing/fit was off. Condition of the items was not an issue whatsoever.
