    Unlabled suits?

    I bought a really beautiful blue suit at a store in my town recently that has a lable from the store, is also labeled Made in Canada, and a tag for loro piana wool. I like this suit a lot. It was $750 including tailoring which I thought was fair. They told me the company that made it for the...

    Jack Victor Suits?

    I’m looking at buying a full canvas Canadian made Jack Victor suit, New Zealand sourced Loro Piana merino wool. $750 including tailoring. Light navy. Looks great on me and the workmanship is very good. I’ve been having huge issues with Brooks Brothers suits and this one is much better...

    Where can I get oxfords with wooden heels?

    Ok- so they were leather, not wood. Good to know! The Allen Edmonds I bought have a rubber sole; I'm almost tempted to have them replaced by a cobbler here in town (I live in a small town that just happens to have one). What brands make oxfords with leather heels? I need a dark brown or oxblood...

    Where can I get oxfords with wooden heels?

    I had a great pair of dress shoes a few years ago with wooden heels that made a nice clicking sound when I walked. I've been looking for something similar but I haven't found anything. I called Allen Edmonds the other day and the guy I talked to said that less companies are making oxfords with...

    New lawyer- should I jump on the BB bankruptcy sale?

    No, they were about $600 each. But I can return them within 60 days for a refund. I need to see them in person to make up my mind. If they aren't a whole lot better than what I can get for less around here then I'll send them all back and start over. I've never tried out a BB suit, so I'll...

    New lawyer- should I jump on the BB bankruptcy sale?

    I take it back- they let me use it. Thanks for the tip, it saved me $280, plus the 40% off these three suits... plus the sales tax, which is brutal in CA. I have 60 days to return these, so we'll see how it goes. I just bought these to see how they fit/look. They have to look good but sort of...

    New lawyer- should I jump on the BB bankruptcy sale?

    Oh yeah, they want me to get a credit card. I may have to call them...

    New lawyer- should I jump on the BB bankruptcy sale?

    Thanks for the code! I like that Merino wool pinstripe in grey from your list- I think I may pick that one up. It comes with unfinished sleaves and hems though. The nearest (open) Brookes Brothers is in Palm Desert (near Palm Springs) which is about a 6 hour drive for me... but I'll be on...

    New lawyer- should I jump on the BB bankruptcy sale?

    Thanks for the response. Yes, I just called, their retail stores are all closed except for one in Palm Desert. Which is about four hours from me. But is not an outlet, so I'm almost tempted to run down there since I'll be in the area soon. I do have a pretty good tailor near me; I'm more worried...

    New lawyer- should I jump on the BB bankruptcy sale?

    Hi all, I just got my license to practice law in California. I currently have two CK suits and some separates that got me through law school externships, but now I'll need at least three more good suits. The CK suits are black and charcoal and look pretty good, especially the charcoal one (the...
