    Quick lurker appreciation

    I want to start by thanking everyone here for helping me build a wardrobe from scratch. I am a textbook lurker, reading everything I can get my hands on but contributing nothing. Anyway, because of you guys I went from two Kenneth Cole suits (one black) to a closet full of Brooks Brothers...

    Are there guarantees of quality?

    I have been thrifting a lot of clothes lately and have been enjoying it. I also got a great job out of college where I have to wear suits so I had to build a new wardrobe anyway so it worked out. I know a lot of the things that mark a good quality suit, shirt, and shoe now but are there any...
