New to SF, short time lurker 
Wanted to say hi and introduce myself...
I stumbled upon SF several times while trying to reinvent/rebuild my wardrobe. I had been looking up a few things including "how to tell if it is a fake or not" type advice. The advice was threads were great and started checking here more. Like any other guy I looove deals, especially on good/great quality items. I got bitten by the deal bug after finding some new and used good quality clothing items at Marshall's/TJ Maxx/Saver's/eBay. With the advice and info found here I was able to get some pretty good deals on several items from Burberry, Hickey Freeman, and Coach wallet.
A little about myself... I used to be ALLL about comfort and not much about style lol. I have progressed in life and have been working in fun corporate america and aquiring more funds. Enough to live comfortably and somewhat enough to try and get my wardrobe and style revamped. I have expensive taste and recognize it but at least know how to pretty much get good deals on good quality items...maybe not totally top dollar but I guess above average lol.
My wardrobe has changed a lot but not at the same time. It has definitely shrunk but become over all higher quality and more versatile. Think it all started last year when I learned that Hickey Freeman was from my "backyard" and that some of my relatives got shipped to the US to work for them in Rochester, NY...the area where I am from. Started my interest in quality clothes, what to look for, fabrics, fashions, style etc. Definitely a change after living in this mass produced/cheap culture. It's been a nice change personally and clothing wise
.
On a different note and some controversy...I have found myself to I guess be a recovering Men's Wearhouse shopper lol. I had just read through the commentaries on MW before this first post. I had only recently started shopping there as I got sucked into some 50% off and BOGO sales. I pretty much know what to look for and steer clear from so I thought it justified the savings, on what seemed to be ok items. I was able to get a bunch of accessories and a suit for what seemed "decent" prices lol. I picked up a $700 Joseph Abboud LP Super 120s, USA made Navy suit for 50% off. Now after delving more into SF and seeing some opinions I will have to post up the suit and see how I did
and what all the opinions will be. The suit comes back on monday with alteraions and will get a pic of it. I had just wanted to get an all around suit, and had to be LP wool. Had fallen for it after I got a Hickey LP sport coat.
Ill have to find the forums for them but I'll have to post up my recent finds and see what y'all feel i did bargain/quality wise. Hope that wasn't too long winded or boring lol
