Just my playful jab that you seem to sell most of what you buy right after you get it.

Lucky you, the Seattle rack used to be okay for designer basics after sales season, but for the past 6 months it has sucked engorged cock. Same with downtown and Bellevue Nordstrom; except for a small collection of Lanvin, there is nothing good. Just labelwhoring ****.

still sounds better than the Chicago one. Its pretty much all English laundry and that sort of ****... its basically only good for buying cheap shoe-trees.

And better then the one in my area. It's absolutely full of garbage save the occasional footwear and shoe trees too. It's basically like a mall yard sale.

I've never bought anything from rugby but a lot of their stuff looks like good boring preppy stuff I could wear to the office, I'm an XS in almost every brand, but according to their size chart it looks like I'd be more of an S. Can anyone comment? 34-36 chest seems rather small for a size S.

It varies from piece to piece, but most stuff fits at least somewhat slim. I'm a 36 and I wear small in some stuff xs in others. Blazers sometimes fit really small (the small I have is tight on me) though lengthwise regular / slightly long.
