After 3+Years...First Post Back

It's been a while...life got busy and well this fell to the way-side.

Even though it's been a few years, I'm still "dressing better" and try to do it with quality products that are kind to the wallet. Keep in mind that quality isn't usually cheap but if you look around you may just find a great deal out there. In addition, what may not be considering "cheap" to you may be "cheap" to others. For example a $300 SuitSupply suit is a great price but it may seem expensive to someone who is used to spending $100 on a suit from Macy's. The quality on the SuitSupply is very likely to be much better than any Macy's suit.

A few from the past couple weeks:

Suit: SuitSupply ($100 on eBay+Alterations), Shirt: SuitSupply ($20 eBay), Tie: Conrad Wu ($80)

Suit: Indochino MTM ($350), Shirt: SuitSupply ($39 Outlet), Tie: Facconable Grenadine ($30 eBay)

Suit: Indochino MTM ($350), Shirt: SuitSupply ($39 Outlet), Tie: Conrad Wu (Gift), Square: TieBar ($10)

Suit: SuitSupply ($260 purchased in Milan SuSu Store), Shirt: Michael Andrews Bespoke (Gift), Tie: Conrad Wu ($80), Square: J. Crew Factory ($6)

WDIW...Thursday 6/13/14

I intended to wear my navy grenadine tie from the knottery with this particular suit and shirt combination but didn't get a chance too once we heard of delays 2 hour delays to cross the George Washington Bridge. 

This suit is from when SuitSupply had their online outlet open. It was a great steal at $259 especially considering that it is a pattern that I don't have, wide pinstripe. I really should wear it more than I do now.

This is also the maiden voyage for my new ModernTailor shirt, a pink/white pin dot which looks solid from a far.

Details:

Suit: SuitSupply Gray/White Wide Pinstripe Napoli via SuitSupply Outlet-$259 plus alterations (letting jacket out, hemming trousers)

Pocket Square: Merona White Cotton via Target-5 for $5

Shirt: ModernTailor Cotton Pink/White Pindot WideSpread Collar via ModernTailor-$55

Socks: J. Crew Dark Pink Cotton via J. Crew-$4

Shoes: Church's Custom Grade Tassel Light Brown Loafers via Adrian-$75

WDIWT...4/8/14 Layered Pinstripe

I haven't worn this suit since the first time I wore it here but I decided to bust it out today. The suit is from SuitSupply, is quarter lined and half-canvassed. I got a few compliments on the suit today.

Details:

Suit: SuitSupply Gray/White Wide Pinstripe via SuitSupply Outlet-$259 plus $80 in alterations

Sweater: Gap Light Gray Cardigan via Gap Factory Store-$15

Shirt: Van Huesen White/Light Blue Micro-Check L/S Dress Shirt via JCPenney-$10

Shoes: Brooks Brothers by Allen Edmonds Newmok/Neumok Snuff Suede Wingtip via Allen Edmonds Factory Store-$135

WDIWT…12/2/13

I bought this suit from SuitSupply about 2-2.5 weeks ago from their recently launched SuitSupply online Outlet store. The retail price on the suit was $449 which is on par with their line of suits but they had it for $259 plus tax. I had the jacket let out at the chest and the trousers tapered, waist taken in and hemmed with a 2 inch cuff. In total alterations were about $80 so for about $360 with tax is not a bad deal at all.

Details:
Suit: SuitSupply Gray/White Wide Pinstripe via SuitSupply Outlet-$259 plus $80 in alterations
Shirt: Indochino White L/S Dress Shirt with French Cuffs via Indochino-$79
Tie: American Eagle Outfitters Navy/Pink/White Rep Tie via American Eagle-$7
Shoes: Allen Edmonds Brown Clifton via Allen Edmonds Factory Store-Gift
Overcoat: 100% Wool Bespoke Coat via Unique Thrift Shop-$12.50
