Suits typically have a number that defines their chest measurement and length. This allows you to pick the jack that most closely matches your measurements. The most common jacket sizes for adults include:  38 jackets are for people with a 40 in. chest, 18 in. shoulder, and 24.5 in. sleeves. 40 jackets are for people with a 42 in. chest, 18.5 in. shoulder, and 25 in. sleeves. 42 jackets are for people with a 44 in. chest, 19 in. shoulder, and 25.5 in. sleeves. 44 jackets are for people with a 46 in. chest, 19 in. shoulder, and 26 in. sleeves. Coat length is based on height, so you should be able to know what size coat you’ll need if you know size of the dress shirts you get and your height.  A short is typically made for people under 5’7, with sleeves up to 32 in. A regular is for people between 5’8 and 5’11, with sleeves of 32-33 in. A long is for people between 6’0 and 6’2, with sleeves of 34-36 in. An extra-long is for people taller than 6’2, with sleeves longer than 36 in. When you try a jacket on, the armholes should be loose enough that you feel comfortable and have a full range of motion. In a new suit, you don't want to risk ripping the interior lining of the jacket because it's too snug. You may be able to get an improperly fitting jacket tailored. Coats shouldn't look bunched up across your back shoulders. They should create a smooth surface across your back and shoulders, with clean lines that flatter your build. If you have bunching, you may have a jacket that's too small, poorly stitched, or just the wrong size. Let your arms hang loosely at your sides to check and make sure the sleeves are of the appropriate length. The sleeve hem should hang down your knuckles, and reveal about a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of the shirt cuff when your arms are extended out in front of you. Trousers should be hemmed evenly with the heel of your shoe, gently breaking on the top of the shoe. They shouldn't drape too much or bunch, and should hang over the shoes gently. If the length is wrong, it’s very easy to get your pants hemmed by a tailor.

summary: Learn how jackets are sized. Learn how coat length is determined. Make sure the armholes aren’t snug. Confirm that the coat is smooth across your back. Make sure the sleeves are the appropriate length. Check that the pants are the correct length.

Most spiders like to hide in dark places, and yard debris provides the perfect hiding spot for any arachnid wanting to set up camp in your yard.  Remove piles of dead leaves, grass clippings, piles of wood, boxes, tires, plywood, and empty containers from the yard. It is especially essential that you remove debris from around the perimeter of your home's foundation in order to keep spiders out of your house. If you want to keep spiders away from your yard as much as possible, though, you should remove these items from your yard altogether. If debris is not available, the next place spiders will look will be shrubs, tall grass, and tall weeds. Trimming your weeds and cutting your grass short will reduce the number of spiders in your yard by creating a less appealing habitat. You do not need to get rid of your shrubs and bushes completely, but you should at least avoid planting them next to the foundation of your house to limit the number of spiders wandering inside. Boxes and bags of items stored in outdoor sheds and garages are some other appealing spots for spiders. Reducing the number of items you store outdoors will also reduce the number of spiders you spot.  If you do plan to store something outside, put it into a sealed plastic container instead of a cardboard box. Sealed containers prevent most spiders from squeezing inside, so you will have fewer unpleasant surprises to deal with when you open the container later on. Check boxes stored outdoors before you bring them into the house. When you see a spider web on the side of a building or somewhere in your yard, physically remove the web to discourage the spider that built it from returning.  In most instances, you will need to remove the web with a broom, mop, or garden hose. If you are near enough to an electrical outlet, you can also use a vacuum to remove webs and egg sacs you spot outside. While outdoor lighting has nothing to do with spiders directly, outdoor lights will attract many insects, and the increased number of insects will also lead to a spike in your spider population.  Use your outdoor lights as little as possible. Direct the lights away from your house to draw the insects and spiders further away from your foundation. Switch to yellow bulbs. The softer light is less appealing to insects and may not draw as many as a bright white light does.

summary: Remove debris from your yard. Keep tall grass and weeds out of your yard. Limit your outdoor storage. Remove webs when you spot them. Avoid using outdoor lighting.

Small cardstock boxes make ideal decorative boxes for chocolates. They keep the chocolates cool to prevent heat from melting them. You can fold one yourself or purchase a small paper gift box from most craft stores.  Measure your chocolates beforehand to make sure you choose or fold a box large enough for them. You can also use a metal canister as an alternative, but metal is more likely to attract heat. Before adding any tissue papers or decorations to the box, put the chocolates inside to make sure they fit. If you're packing individual chocolates, place them on a candy cup to prevent them from touching any decorations. After you place the chocolates in the box, pad it with tissue paper. This prevents the chocolate from breaking as you handle the box and helps to keep it cool.  Although you can use bubble wrap to keep the chocolates cool and intact, tissue paper is much more decorative. Try finding tissue paper in bold colors or patterns to help it make a celebratory statement. You can also wrap tissue paper around the bottom and top of the box for an extra flair. This can make the container look more ornate, especially if you're gifting your chocolates to someone else. Cut the decorative paper to fit the sides of your container and use craft glue or a glue stick to secure it in place. You can use art paper, construction paper, wrapping paper, wallpaper samples, or even newspaper to decorate your container. If your box is a solid color, use a decorative stamp or sticker to give it color. Use between 1-3 types of stamps or stickers at most, as too much decoration can overwhelm the box's style. Avoid using both stamps and stickers to avoid oversaturating the box with decoration.  You can also glue buttons or beads to the box for a more unique design.  In a pinch, colored office supply stickers can function as a simple decoration. You can purchase colored sticker dots from most office supply stores. Ribbons can give your container a decorative flair. Tie the ribbon on top of or around the container, or tie the ribbon into a bow and glue it to the top or side.  Curl the ribbons with scissors to make them look especially ornamental.
summary: Make or find a cardstock gift box for your chocolates. Place the chocolates into the box. Stuff the container with tissue paper. Wrap your container in decorative paper. Decorate the box with stamps or stickers. Tie a ribbon to your container.
