I once dated a girl who once said to me: "Please promise me that you NEVER EVER buy any of that horrible Van Heusen stuff. I hate it!"Quote:

I don't wear them when I'm getting dressed up for real but then again one should never wear a button down with a suit in my estimation.
OK jeebus people,
I talked to buzz off line I am not ignoring him; y'all always assume the worst......
a few caveats
if you are wearing a suit, you are not
1)wearing loafers. Suits require lace ups
2)wearing a shirt with a button down collar
both are too casual with suits.
Aslo, suits are a lot like skis in many ways:
-1 is never going to really be appropriate for all occasions
- you dont need a huge quiver unless you use them every day.
-knowledgeable sales people are hard to find but much needed
-people who dont know much will be impressed by things that those that do know will not; and those with knowledge will notice things that other would never
-handmade/fitted is always the best but rarely cost effective
-selections of both are very dependant on where you live, what you use them for and how long you have been using them.
-you can't buy style with either

Sorry...negatory on the no buttondown collar rule, especially those w/ loops underneath where the buttons don't show.
But yes on the no logo rule. Also, get a shirt w/ a neck that is big enough, the shirt is not supposed to strangle you.
...no french cuffs (unless you're a CEO)
...no ties lighter than your shirt
...no deeply colored shirts...maroon, black...
...no leg showing...get some long socks...
...cuffs on the pants, especially light weight fabrics
...pants should break over the shoe...
The best looking guy in a suit, ever, was Cary Grant. Emulate.
your own example proves you are wrongQuote:

i said metro, but i meant gay.
never trust a guy who will take a dick in the ass or the face.
that is a joke...for you angry types.
Buttondown shirts wher you can't see the buttons - meh
Pants with no pleats - actually preferred with flat front pants
A few good tips on keeping your suits looking new (From a website someplace with a few extra thoughts tossed in)
• Store suits on the original hanger when not being worn. Wide hangers keep the shoulders from sagging. Wool has memory - wrinkles will hang out.
• Never button the suit jacket or zip the pants while storing. This is the only time you can keep your pants unzipped.
• Brush your suit after each wearing. It takes off the surface dirt.
• Dry clean your suit no more than 3 or 4 times a year. Remove them from the cheap ass plastic bag that the drycleaner put them in so they can breath.
• Find a reputable dry cleaner (you get what you pay for).
• Always clean both jacket and pants together. Colors may undergo subtle changes in the dry cleaning process.
• Request hand pressing of the jacket (lapels need to be rolled).
Thanks for all the help!!!
Now the shopping part begins.
