    As the title says, I have to do a quick trip to Chicago for a day (mid-week) and will be staying overnight in the city.I'll be tied up most of the day but will have an afternoon to myself. I'm looking for advice on what stores to visit. Budget is liberal and won't mind some stuff you won't...

    Going to be in Pittsburgh in mid April - any good shopping?

    So for anyone interested, I was informed about an outlet store approx. 1hr north of Pittsburgh. There was a Brooks Bro's store and with an instore 30% discount along with a 15% instant discount, I picked up 2 madison wool pants for $145 all in. Not too bad a place to check out but a lot of...

    Going to be in Pittsburgh in mid April - any good shopping?

    I'm driving there so not going to go to NYC. Was there in August anyway. Thanks for the tips Thinman. Even with the limited choice, sometimes the prices & exchange rates make it worth it.

    Best Toronto Thrifting?

     I agree with most of this. I'm surprised you had that much success with Extoggery given the men's section is a hanger or 2 (at least when last I visited yrs ago). As you can tell, I've visited most of the places in the city and as previously mentioned, it's just not worth visiting...

    Best Toronto Thrifting?

    Consignment wise - There's a place on Avenue north of Lawrence, on the west side of Avenue. Mostly women's stuff but some limited men's. There's a men's only place, really good stuff but pricey for being 2nd hand, at Eglington & Yonge (on Montgommery, east of Yonge, kinda tucked away behind...

    Best Dressed Male TV Characters

     It's mostly attributed to JFK. Hats were generally falling out of favour but when he didn't wear one at his presidential inauguration, the masses followed. Likely not the sole reason (e.g. the automobile example posted earlier) but like all things, things fall in and out of favour.

    In Manhattan 3rd week of Aug. Where to shop?

    Clothing. The usual - shirts, pants. Don't know if by August there will be winter wear out but a nice coat perhaps. Accessories are also a good option - Cuff links, a new wallet!, an ipad (:slayer:) Don't need shoes. Not looking for jeans or t-shirts. Don't need a suit but hey, won't say no...

    In Manhattan 3rd week of Aug. Where to shop?

    I'm in Manhattan for the first time on business for a week on the 3rd week of Aug. I'll be tied up most of the day but will have a day or 2 to myself. I'm looking for advice on what stores to visit. Obviously I know of 5th avenue but wondering if that's really the best use of my time...

    Harry's vs. ..... Norstrom's?

    Meh. Brooks Brothers is here and they aren't doing a damm thing to encourage competition since their prices "reflect the Canadian market environment" (whatever that means). Bottom line, American stores will come up here and charge typical (overinflated) Canadian prices and stores like Harry...
