Stagehand's Dilemma (time-sensitive!)

Hello all!

I recently volunteered as a stagehand, and I am naturally required to wear all black. Unfortunately, however, I haven't any black in my wardrobe (unless I decide to show up for work in a tux or something).

I must find an appropriately durable, fairly inexpensive set of slim-fitting black clothes. A pair of black pants and a similarly slim black shirt, preferably with a button-down collar and a pocket.

I also need to find these things in Metropolitan Detroit, by approximately 5:00 this evening.

So. Any suggestions as to where I ought to head?

(I'm cross posting this in SW&D and Men's Clothing, for the sake of urgency.)

Why do you need slim fit? Loose stuff you can move in might suit you better, helped me out when I did stage hand stuff.

A mon avis just buy the cheapest, most comfortable, least reflective stuff, then change out of it into all your good stuff for the afterparty. Also, make sure your shoes don't squeak loudly or anything egregious like that.

That's good advice! Thanks!
