black suits are rad. you guys are just buying shi**y suits.

Also, I never said black suits were awful - they just aren't for business. Black is a social color.

i said that you are buying sh**y suits, which is true. Your thoughts on how or when to wear them are not relevant.

Of course they, that was the original context of the discussion! Also, you don't know which suits I'm buying.

Recall that they have changed their sizing!

Edit: also, I don't see that deal on their site.

I've seen it advertised various times on fb. I went searching for it the other day and couldn't find it, but then it popped up again last night and I did it. If the alleged sizing changes mean my shirts don't fit, I'll send them back. Simple as that.

The issue I have with dress shirts is that the sleeves aren't the right length in a lot of cases. Manufacturers often give themselves a range of sleeve length and hope you don't notice. For instance, a shirt will have a 32/33 length sleeve or a 34/35 sleeve. For me, the former is too short and the latter is too long. But if I get a 34" sleeve, it's just right. Years ago, I'd get Windsor shirts, but they went to the lazy model. Then I got shirts from JCPenney, but they've gone to the lazy model, too. Nordstrom is still selling shirts with exact length, so I got one a couple of months ago, and am quite happy with it. If they're on sale right now, I need to go in and get a couple more.

Yep. I forgot to mention that. I'm not a 34/35 and I'm not a 36/37. I'm a 36. That's one thing you won't get at Kohls or Costco.

Nordstrom has gone lazy. I bought a bunch of shirts there during the July sale and I had to have the sleeves all tailored.

Taking an extra lunch is going to make you feel better?

Charles Tyrwhitt (pronounced TIHR-it) is running it's usual end-of year special to clear inventory for the next year's line: shirt + tie for $39.95. It comes out to $50 with shipping. As I have said on here previously, the shirts are above-average quality. Not quite as nice as what you'll get with a Nordstrom Smartcare (but a NOrdstrom smartcare is $70-80), but definitely a step up from what you'll get at Express for a similar price (or more) and a huge step up from the stuff at big box retailers like JC Penney, Sears, Kohls, etc. Also, you get to select an exact sleeve length, which is nice for guys like me who fall between the standard 34/35 and 36/37 off-the-shelf sleeve lengths.

The best part about this deal is the high-quality, silk woven tie; you would probably pay anywhere from $75-100 for a comparable tie at upscale retailers like Dillards, Nordstrom, etc.

Anywho, for those of you who spend more than 30 seconds per year thinking about what shirts to buy, here's your chance.

NOTE: The shirts come in regular, slim, and extra slim. "Regular" will fit a fat dude; "slim" will fit an average dude, even if he has some girth around the middle. "Extra slim" will fit anyone who doesn't have a noticeable gut. I mostly say this to let the average dudes know that they don't need a regular, they need a slim.

I have been watching for this sale again this year but have not seen it. Give me a heads up when you see it. I love these shirts.

Charles Tyrwhitt has a pretty nice sale on right now. Lots of shirts at $29.95 with free shipping to the U.S. I think that's about as good as a sale as they do all year.

Darn it. Not much of a selection.

Thanks anyway.
