is that the battenwear? for a while i was coveting the matched set

http://pilgrimsurfsupply.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/FALookBook2013-15-466x700.jpg

Curious to see if SA will do a last-minute 40% off non-SA-branded sale stuff too -- I think they started at 25% off SA, then 25% off all, then 40%/25%. Will it go 40%/40%?

Stoked for duck boot day tomorrow B-)

is this like groupon

Kath I thought you were saying you didn't like the song. Nonetheless, I give not a shit about someone's projected other america's reading of a pop song

Wrong thread.

xp yeah it was the battenwear

max u shd get the matched set in all the diff colors and that can be yr entire wardrobe just a suggest

also only freeball in them thx

I'm inching toward a sweatshirts-and leisure-pants-only brand as is

pick-stitched lapels c/d?

can be nice imo kinda depends

they look good or bad depending on the general quality of the suit I think... making a good suit look better or a bad suit look worse

or not a "bad" suit, just a cheaper one

what I want in my first suit that I have abt $500 saved up for:

• charcoal
• slim cut
• two buttons
• double vents
• narrow notch lapels
• pick stitching
• NO CONTRASTING BUTTONHOLE, GOD, THESE LOOK SO FUCKING DOUCHEY

• Indochino
• Suitsupply

I would also consider J. Crew (probably need a sale to get to $500), or maybe Boss from a dept store sale. Maybe something like this:
http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/boss-hugo-boss-pasolini-movie-classic-fit-charcoal-wool-suit/2934365?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=0

or this:
http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/john-varvatos-star-usa-trim-fit-wool-suit/3732240?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=1482

or just poke around on their suit page. The nice thing with Nordstrom, if you can get to one, is that you can order a few suits online, then bring them to the store when they ship and have one of the associates help you figure out which one is best. Their suit people are really good. Then you can just get it altered there.

I've heard mixed things about indochino and suit supply.

I've had great experiences with suitsupply. whether it'll come in at $500 or lower depends on how closely it will fit off the rack. I require a lot of tailoring, so a suit there comes closer to $700 for me.

but you should be able to get exactly what you're looking for there, and the salespeople are pretty well-informed and friendly. at j crew, you'll be spending more money upfront, even if it fits you well off the rack, and when I went, the salesperson was a little more clueless. nice fabric though.

unsolicited advice: maybe consider 'normal' (and not narrow) lapels... lapels are widening again, and narrow lapels are already starting to look a bit dated

otherwise the suit you describe is like the most versatile one there i
