One store to rule them all...

[TheSuitBurnsBetter]

A question I've been pondering: you can only get all your clothes from one single store, which would it be?

You have to consider how you wear your clothes. I wear suits almost every weekday, but I definitely have some freedom to experiment a bit. I know streetwear isn't my style so on the weekends I'll still be wearing polos, loafers, and the like.

So how bout it? You only have one store (not necessarily one brand) you can buy everything from forever. Which is it?

Most likely Todd Snyder...

A great first response. What do you wear on weekdays and weekends and how does Todd Snyder fit into your lifestyle?

I live in Southern California, so rarely suits but I do own a rotation.
During the week I wear what I would term luxe casual. Lots of knits with dress trousers. I have a billion pairs of shoes.
I like TS because I can get suits, upgraded collab Chucks, and everything in between. So if I could have only one, they check every box for me.
It would be tough to give up Spier and Mackay though, and finding the odd YSL gem on Yoox or Match or Mr Porter.

*Edit after I actually read the post
TS hits do many diverse points. Tailoring for the weekdays, laid back knits and such for weekends. For me they do so well for casual weekend wear but not enough for weekday business.

Ebay would be my store.

No doubt, everyone else's mistakes are my gold mine!

If they could fit me, which they can't, based on a recent visit to
to their shop, The Armoury. At least for RTW/MTM tailored clothing.
Shirts, underwear, shoes, etc. not included. Fifteen years ago it
would have been Paul Stuart. Thirty years ago, Chipp, which is wear
I got most of my tailored clothing RTW and MTM.

Something I hadn't considered when I posed this question was whether it includes vintage pieces or just what is available now at retail. Would that change your answer? I think Polo is still a solid choice for an all around good wardrobe though.

For the purpose of this hypothetical assume everything except your drawers

 

[gimpwiz]

Yeah, for ebay I draw the line at underwear and socks. No thanks!

 

[sargeinaz]

Probably drakes or Anglo Italian.

 

[Enfusia]

I'd likely have to go with Dillard's or Macy's because I can get most thing there except bespoke.

Wow, how can no one have said No Man Walks Alone yet?
