...and now, for something completely different...(new NSV)

 It was in a dream the other nite, these narcoticsmake doozies for dreams!

What is the 4 in. drop rule?

In men's tailored clothing, the Four Inch Drop Rule is (granted, this is for traditionally cut suits):

Generally, there is a four-inch difference between the size of the coat (chest measurement) and the waist size of the trousers (waist measurement). For some manufacturers, that drop (or difference) can be six to eight inches for an athletic cut suit.

In college, I worked in a men's clothing store...and after, for a while, I worked at Brooks Brothers...

Yep, that is the fun part....trying on smaller clothes! 

Congrats.
