    Can you not use that site that Johnny Vegas advertises. Can't remember the name (got it[^]). I have no idea what their stuff is like though.

    Thanks, thats a good site. (I am not so fat, despite the screen name, as just big so jeans and shirts arent generally a problem for size, its just the relenless dull fabrics they use. I like Indian fabrics (hawaian shirts kind of do it for me) alot, but the size is a nightmare for me.

      On my shopping trip this morning, in preparation for the fast approaching winter, I bought a hooded sweatshirt. I've never had one before and so I need to know: Should I wear my cap over the hood, or the hood over my cap?

      Surely a site dedicated to programmers is the last place you go to for fashion advice.

                            Yup, the big T. Thing is, I didn't realize it was a hoodie till I got it home. Unusually, for Tesco it was pre-packed rather than hanging loose on a hanger.

                                      One thing that really pisses me off is that its impossible to get decent fashion for men. Especially if you are as tall as me. Getting leather boots my size is almost impossible for example. I would really love some chisel toed ankle boots but its impossible. Also embroidered flares. Just cant get them. it sucks. I am a SW sengineer too, so speak for youhself!

                                        On my shopping trip this morning, in preparation for the fast approaching winter, I bought a hooded sweatshirt. I've never had one before and so I need to know: Should I wear my cap over the hood, or the hood over my cap?

                                        The hood is actually not meant to be worn. It's just supposed to sit there. Wear your cap and no hood.
