    The New Brooks Brothers

    I stopped by a BB Outlet today. Certain mainline shirts were $29, I randomly pulled like 6-7 shirts and 2 of those were $29, the rest were like $49. So, BB shirts aren't even expensive. Hopefully, that one guy looking for a shirt for a meeting or lunch goes to BB Outlet rather than Kohl's or...

    Official Sales Alert thread - sales, coupon and discount codes

    Got my eyes on a couple of things on SSENSE which I think won't sell out, anyone know when their next cuts are? I want them before Christmas, so I may just buy.

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    Found this old coat, might go back. Seems to be very good construction and near new. Not sure if it's from a menswear company or back when regular clothing companies took pride in their work. Can anyone give any sort of clue to whom made this? Long shot since it could be a generic tag and...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    The last of my ties. Probably had ~60 at its peak, 20 went into my wardrobe. Wanted to have a tie from each luxury brand, but accidentally sold all the Isaia ties without checking inventory.

    Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

    I haven't owned any SL footwear before these. I usually buy size 7 because of comfort, but I wear 39 in CP. 40 in Lukas fit right, no tightness nor slipping.

    Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

    I don't think so. I had a quick glance at the entire shoe section after finding those and nothing.

    Northern suburbs of Chicago. If you're local, I can give you the town. I can take a look at the receipt at home.

    Saint Laurent Paris - Official Thread.

    Picked up two suede Lukas boots at Nordstrom Rack today. In my size for $300 each!!! One is nut and this one is I believe hazelnut. The nut I can find info on, but it's been tough finding info on this one. I figured between the time it takes to go from Nordstrom to the Rack and discounted to...

    Official Sales Alert thread - sales, coupon and discount codes

    I have a story that touches on both of these things. I bought something when they had a sale and it processed quickly. Shipping updated to "label created" or something to that effect, but sat at there. About a week after I had order, they sent members a deal for an extra 25% off the sale; I...

    Finding affordable menswear? (chicago)

    Have you thought about thrift stores? There is a Salvation Army on Clybourn that sells gently-used clothes. I believe they select their clothes, because most of the stuff is in great condition. The thing you're going to have to forget, though, is expecting to pay $5 for a shirt. With nicer...

    NEW MEMBER INQUIRIES & QUICK QUESTIONS- CLASSIC MENSWEAR: WK OF JAN 11, 2016

    I bought a pair of shoes because they were at a deep discount and fit what I was looking for. They came in and seem like no leather I've come across. Best comparison I have is like when you bend one of those plastic rulers, first thing that came to mind. I ordered from a department store, and...
