    Who still wears a suit to work?

    I work at a U.S. Embassy abroad and wear a full suit or sport coat and tie every day, as does nearly everyone else. With some exceptions based on region of posting, nearly everyone in the State Department maintains very traditional attire.

    BB Friends and Family Sale 25% off... should I wait?

    do the milano pants fit TTS or do you size up 1 size? (ie 33 to 34) They are true to size for me.

    I need to buy 2 suits

    There's no comparison between Brooks Brothers and Men's Wearhouse. Get the two Brooks suits on sale, one in navy and one in charcoal, and you'll be set for your summer internship and have the foundation for a solid business wardrobe.

    Just Got First Brooks Brothers Suit - 1818 Fitzgerald

    I was actually at BB today picking up a few shirts and tried on the Fitzgerald (I'm looking to buy it in June during the big 40% off sale). I'm also 5'9" and the Fitzgerald 38R was the better fit for me. I found the sleeves on the 38S to be correct, but the skirt (the bottom part of the jacket)...

    J crew Ludlow or Thick as Thieves

    Hi everyone I am currently looking to buy a first suit and have been researching a lot of different companies. I have narrowed it down to either the J crew ludlow series (probably in worsted wool) or a thick as thieves mtm suit. My question is if anyone has any information regarding the quality...

    Want a first suit. Advice appreciated.

    That's why you go try stuff on and figure out what you like.. Maybe the Lewin suit is great, maybe it doesn't fit you, and maybe the super 110 fabric is unattractive in person. Go Fichte out what you like. Does TM Lewin have retail stores in the US or do they sell their stuff in department...

    Rate My Ties

    Tie patterns are an easy way to look dated. Sometimes it is obvious and sometimes it just makes an outfit look "off". There are such a thing as classics (rep ties for example or silk knits) but patterns and colors run in trends. First group- 1,2,3 (4, 5, 6, look like 90's era) (But if you are...

    BB Friends and Family Sale 25% off... should I wait?

    If there's a particular size that you want during the sale in June but your local Brooks store is out of it, will they order it for you or are you just out of luck? I'm also trying to decide whether to pick up a Fitzgerald suit next week or wait for the semi-annual sale in June.

    Rate My Ties

    They're all good enough. Ties are a personal thing. I like some of yours not at all, and some quite a lot, but that is personal. Many people will like the purple grenadine. I have a pretty strong bias against purple ties and would never wear one, but that's my problem not yours. I'm curious...

    Rate My Ties

    I think it totally depends on your skin-tone, hair colour, etc. I have brown hair, so I wear blues a lot. Striped navy ties/bow ties with white or colour, plain, block blues, some reds, tartans. I would suggest some navy/red striped ties, block colour knits and some tartan bow ties (although...

    Thanks guys for the quick replies! It seems that people on here are mostly gravitating toward the simpler patterned ties. I really like seeing the diversity of opinions, though. @larrythelizard, I WILL be working at a law firm this summer, for the next month I'm still a poor law student. But...

    Hey guys, I saw another guy on this forum post a similar thread asking the community to rate his ties and found the feedback very interesting. So, I thought I'd do the same thing. This summer I'll be working at a law firm and I'm trying to select my best ties from the ones that I probably...
