And quality has dropped noticeably for the price on so many brands that used to be reliable.

L.L. Bean is still good value. And they do sell clothes that are fitted, besides the classic American loose-fit, if that’s your thing.

Check out dappered.com for deals.

Unless you know you are going to trash it (how is it that my dad made office suits last decades whereas mine only lasted a couple of years? care?) buy decent quality to last.

Unless you are a slave of fashion, when you find something you like for looks, comfort, etc, buy several. It probably won't still be in the shops next month, let alone next year.

I've never had much interest in clothes and clothes buying, but, on the other hand, have always been a shopoholic. I like just wandering around shops!

A friend was complaining about how much he's just paid for some stuff, and surprised how little I paid for mine ...

I told him, this is the difference. When you need a shirt, you go out and buy a shirt. I never pass the shop without checking out the bargain rail

For the office, I’m reducing my reliance on jeans and chinos and moving towards those 5-pocket pants - like Lululemon’s ABC. <awaits abuse>
