Good Natured Advice Thread (improving a business wardrobe)

The San Francisco store has been "opening soon" for months. How flippin' long does it take to build out a retail space?

Because they're sneaking off to the mission for some burritos and extended lunch breaks...where is the store going to be anyway, Union Square?

A DB with wide peak lapel would definitely be a kick @ss suit. 

Yes, since you have to button up with DBs, I see little room for "bad fit error." 

you would think that, but you would be wrong. a DB that does not fit right will look baaaaaaad. shoulders, chest, length... if its not right it looks wonky.

I've had an H-Mart "coming soon" for a year in Cambridge, Ma.

Very nice! I have this misconception(?) that DBs work on only certain body types but I don't think there is such a rule.
I mean, the rule that you have to be at least 6 ft in order to don a 3 button suit exists and somewhat is followed but nothing like that exists for DBs?

Am I crazy for liking this tie?

It's $12. It seems versatile enough having a brownish base.

Stop obsessing over height. No rules whatsoever for DBs, except that they shouldn't have notch lapels.

I have a 3 button and I think it looks stupid on me and I'm 6'2". So theres that.

[jungleroller]

H&B would be great with a conservative business dress suit.

Other one do not like.

The rule, imo, is that the cut of the suit, be it DB or SB, 2 button or 3, should be right for your build. Thats it.

It looks like I may have it sold already.

It is indeed already sold!
