I need to stop.


Wow! That's great! Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten!

Check Costco, if you have one close... Costco's CEO said they are carrying a lot of Zegna items now, as well as other 'exclusive' brands, and are increasing their selections of 'high end' clothing daily.

Indeed

More longstanding members would get just that much for $400 plus five years of service by a small foreign person who keeps everything clean and in good repair.

I've also learned alot about "bargain hunting" and how it can be a rather large false economy. Pretty much, if its cheap its skimping on something, usually quality materials. In the future, I'll be sticking to the B & S forums and also retail - places like plal for shoes. I'll consider alot more what I need and want, and what looks I like.
What size shoes do you wear?

I like those shoes. Always see something like that, mean to get it, forget about it and buy regular Oxfords. Perhaps I'll remember as I've been meaning to shop for new shoes.

I generally go into clothing shops with an air of 'I have no idea'. It works out since I end up talking to helpful people and I end up with something I like wearing most of the time, but I've never walked into anywhere but Uniqlo (the once) and spent anywhere near $400.
