No, I do work at Target... but they don't sell anything cool for someone on a budget at all. Definitely not rad-ass desert boots, or Merona OCBD's, nope... so don't waste your time shopping there go to Wal-mart their selection of fine mens wear is vastly superior to Tarjays...

Identify those mid-priced items that are of much higher quality.

In particular, J. Crew's merino wool is fantastic. I wore their 1/2 zip and full-zip cardigan from this season probably 3 times a week and they still haven't lost their form.

Well, I could give you a rundown of the standard basics, but that's standard. Do you have any style you swing towards? Any major hobbies/passions?

^^ absolutely. what kind of pants do you want? khakis? jeans? wool? edit: didn't see chrono's post, but everything he suggested is good.

who makes basic (just cardi, v-neck, crewneck, nothing fancy) sweaters in a variety of colors that would fit well on a guy who is 6'1", 150 lbs, 36" chest? I really like uniqlo, but I don't know if their S would be slim enough/if their XS would be long enough.

There is about 1 degree of separation between this thread and the "Ask a Question, Get an Answer - please ask all quick questions here" thread. Same goes for the WAYWT discussion thread. It's just turning into another WAYWN thread. What's the point? I thought we wanted less clutter, not more.

re: slim pants, Incotex is much, much better than all of the brands that have been mentioned. With some luck, they can be found under $100 in B&S forum or eBay.
