The Official-ish DC Thread

[smittycl]

I'll admit it's been over a year since I've been to the city center location but I think there was a lot of Phineas Cole on the second floor?

It’s been a while since I’ve been up there actually. Bought a few ties last year at the store but that was it. Mostly shop there online.

I picked up a pair of gray Phineas Cole trousers on ebay several months back that need alterations. Going to take them to that clown, Ezra Paul, next weekend. We'll see just how much menswear knowledge he has...

What have I missed?

Swine flu has begun to spread in China.

I want Nomos Ahoi Atlantik but they're all sold out so I have to purchase from a German AD. Das ist nicht gut.

Phase 3 begins in VA tomorrow?! Oh, hell no.

How is DC? Are there still protestors by the White House?

How is that possible?? Once Covid clears (if that ever happens), we’ll walk up from the shop. The Green Zone is fun for one drink, Jack Rose for whiskey. Haven’t made it to the new Imperial, but it’s one of the few new places that doesn’t seem to have the same old decor as everywhere else. Other than the lower stretch of Admo, I avoid it like the plague. Not interested in drunken bros...

can anyone tell me about Madams Organ if it's still around?

Phase 3 partially delayed I think.

Welcome back!!!

Ah... finally watch discussions.
though we did talk about suits.... SuitSupply was recommended, but they did not have any deals. Better spend your money on stores with good specials, like AE that runs 25% off sale items. Plus struggling JCrew that gives away items at this point.
I would consider SuitSupply once I need a suit as for past months the most fanciest item I wore were pants and a polo... an upgrade from sweats and stained t-shirt

I saw... but I don't think they have any local stores?

i much rather come to the store to feel and see the material in person..

interesting discussion here between SM vs SS: https://threads.dappered.com/forum/...-watches-etc/20259-suitsupply-vs-spier-mackay
Ability to buy suit separates from SM is def a plus as I buy 44R jacket and my waist is 33... thanks to my barrel chest.

Speaking of deals on suits... Bonobos

I like the cut, style, and price point of spier and mckay but they are too narrow for me in the shoulders .

 

[trafficjam]

I know I just defended ****** suits, but $224 is still too much for that.

You would take SuitSupply over Bonobos?
If not mistaken SuitSupply lists their as half canvas, Bonobos, I dont think it is

what would be your current recommendations?

I love their stuff, and I like their sport coats, but none of their trousers work for me OTR (rise too low, even on "high rise"). I keep debating their MTM program though.

Why don't you try Spier and MacKay. The Nomos is off the table. Durability issue keeps coming up.
