Yup, 100%

However I'm more fond of a lighter grey suit with brown shoes.

thanks guys. i'm trying to pick up a cheap suit over this summer for the few occasions throughout the year that I need one (formals, fancy school dinners and stuff) (and obviously for job interviews, etc. in the future). now I just need to convince my mom to look at somewhere other than men's warehouse

just buy a suit from brook brothers..nice and conventional. Or are you really trying to steez for job interviews...?

does the firm nyc have a website or blog?? was looking to buy some shoes and get them resoled with a jagged rubber sole a la jil sander creepers

not sure if they can do that:/

anyone know what types of "re-soling" they can do?

Lane · May 22, 2011

I wanna know too, also how long does a resole take cuz I can't stay in NYC past a day or two.

Kagemusha · May 22, 2011

FWIW I've only heard of them doing repair work to leather soles and of course vibraming. I know that you can also just ship them to Firm, you don't actually have to be in NYC.

snowmanxl · May 22, 2011

yeah, was planning to ship it to them. maybe ill email them and ask what types of soles they could put on a shoe. first ive got to find a shoe i like

no I'm totally just looking for something conservative. want it to fit well though. bb are expensive though, I was thinking more h&m level price range. I'm only going to be wearing it a few times a year. or would I be better off with some khaki trousers, a navy sport coat, a nice formal shirt and some brown loafers?

If your looking for versatile I wouldn't get whole cuts.

Please to God no. IDK why people think this looks good. You were on much better track going with a grey suit. Stick with that.

snowmanxl · May 22, 2011

mikey, howsabout a pair of trousers with a button up, shoes and a leather..platypus style

toothsomesound · May 22, 2011

mikey, +J is on sale right now (90 bucks for pretty solid blazers), there were a good handful of XS blazers left when I was in soho uniqlo on wed or thurs. annoyingly they didn't order the matching pants for the blazers, only the cropped pants and shorts.

either way you can still just get pretty solid uniqlo trousers or chinos to go with your blazer(s). uniqlo stuff is fine too, but most of it isn't on sale right now.
