    My first shoe purchase(s): Allan Edmonds at Nordstrom Rack:

    It was fun looking through all the shoes actually - Allen Edmonds - either I put an "a" in or a "u" - I'll learn. I never would have got on the path to better shoes if it wasn't for SF!! Much appreciated. Looking forward to the day when I can own a pair of Aldens or...

    My first shoe purchase(s): Allan Edmonds at Nordstrom Rack:

    Ok, I had a little road trip down to Oregon and I hit up a half dozen Nordstrom Rack's looking for shoes mainly. I thought I could remember what models to look for there (I was only looking for AE shoes to keep things simple(r)). After trying on lots of shoes that were all creased in the toe...

    anybody row?

    I just put on some George Michael and gave it a decent shot. 7:19 for a 2K. I bet if I had more than an omelette I'd do a bit better, but I just did this as a sort of test on a rest day. That's an awesome time for a one off! I can't get under 7:30 right now but heavier guys have an advantage on...

    Women crying in public - what to do?

    Nothing wrong if asking if everything is ok. Getting her a tissue or better the handkerchief idea is best. She'll give a signal if she wants to talk about it, otherwise leave her alone. I wouldn't randomly hug her. Unless she was #888 or something....

    How does one get started into nice clothes when income isn't that high?

    Bradner...it would help to know what city you live in...then ideas can flow better I'm in Los Angeles and modified my desires based on what the local talent could provide I'm up in Canada about 2.5 hrs east of Vancouver.

    How does one get started into nice clothes when income isn't that high?

    I would go to a reputable store that sells suits, such as Nordstrom, Saks, etc. Tell them that your mother or father wants to buy you a couple nice suits, and they need your measurements so they purchase the right size. You can also get properly fitted for shoes there. Don't get measured for...

    How does one get started into nice clothes when income isn't that high?

    I have a completely different take on things than what had been said. So it sounds like you wear jeans only now. Why the move onto "dressier" clothes? You said you also met a "European gal"? Are you thinking you'll impress her more by dressing better? And are you in sixth grade or something...

    How does one get started into nice clothes when income isn't that high?

    I saw your post asking about how to get into nice clothes without being a Daddy Warbucks. If you want anything out of my FS thread, I'll give it to you for free provided you pay for shipping and actually wear it (not try to flip it). Good luck with the upgrade! Wow! Thanks for the offer - I'll...

    How does one get started into nice clothes when income isn't that high?

    Thanks! Over the past few months I've become good friends with an European gal and she really has opened my eyes to fashion awareness. But I don't have the $$ that she has to spend on clothes so I'm hoping I can buy a few items here to get started! +1,000,000 So true, it's a hard lesson to...

    How does one get started into nice clothes when income isn't that high?

    If I wanted to get professional measurements so that I have an idea of what to look for online, is there a base charge for that? Do I go to a tailor and ask to be sized? How much would that cost? Or am I going at it the wrong way. I can use a fabric tape myself but I think a tailor would get it...

    The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts

    These are all pretty good. What about Sand or Tiger Sweden? Tiger is great for the tall guys here ... but my fav shirts are still from these Canuks! Thanks for the Canadian link! I'm going to check them out!

    How does one get started into nice clothes when income isn't that high?

    I really enjoy reading the forums but sadly I still wear my Levis and Costco jeans. I don't have a big income but I'd really like to dress well - or at least own a nice suit, shoes and a couple shirts. Seems to me the best way is to buy on here from someone but its pretty hard to buy without...
