I picked up two new suits this weekend. Brooks Brothers, Madison, 1818, Navy and Charcoal, fine subtle pinstripe. I like both suits very much. First suits I bought in 20 years.
I have learned more about suits in the past month than in the past - well, ever. So - it comes down to a minor detail, not knowing "enough," and not taking my time.
Center vents versus side vents. I honestly didn't know which I even ended up with - I had to look this morning. Center.
Now, I see pros, cons, horseback, sitting and hands-in-pockets referenced all over this forum and others. I just need to know that:
a) It's FINE!
b) It's NOT a mark of style stupidity! and
c) Good choice of suits!
(I should point out I'm an American, apparently that plays a role...).
Sidenote - I also got a pair AE Park Avenues this week, no remorse whatsoever there!
Anyway - I'm not a frequent or fashionable shopper, and this is quite an outlay ($$) for me, but I won't need to do it again anytime soon. Tell me to be happy, no regrets!
