After collecting suits and accessories for thirty years, I am starting over. Already ordered the navy, charcoal, light gray, and brown suits. Work suits, nothing special. Still have one tie left, the one I was wearing the day my house burned down. May have to stick this tie in a shadow box.
I'm a lawyer, so there are weeks I wear a suit everyday. However, there are also weeks were I'm writing, reading, and doing research. As I've already purchased the four suits I require immediately, I will be taking my time to purchase additional suits. This means I can wait for sales. I don't like paying more than $800 for a suit. Also, as I'll be adding ten to twelve suits, I would like to try different brands.
Recommendations on ties is also being sought and is welcome. Three to four sports coats/blazers, and ten to fifteen pair of dress pants will also need replacing.
For shoes, I like Allen Edmonds as I am a eee width. At the moment I have a pair of Sanford Cap-toe Derby in black. A second pair of black dress shoes will be purchased. I'm leaning towards the Fifth Avenue. I lost a pair of Dalton boots in the fire. Suggestions on replacement colors? I was recently in Washington where a noticeable number of men were wearing walnut. Outside of the Dalton, I can't see myself owning a walnut color shoe.
Any and all advice is welcome. And yes, thank you, everyone is fine. The fire started during the day when no one was home. This is simply something to distract and hopefully entertain.
Thank you,
Peter
