I haven't had the chance to talk to any good salesman on this.. I use to work at Express so I know how much Express/H&M employees know about suits.. (almost nothing) it came down to just looking fit in the mirror with a little fold on the jacket like the picture.

I want to go in Men's Wear House and maybe have them measure me out n all that.. but I feel bad when they work on you for a long time and I just say no and leave.. maybe I'll try that at 3 Days Suit Tailor

If you're not trying to spend MAD cash and want something that's going to look fresh, Burlington Coat Factory in Arcadia has a good selection and an in-house tailor.

so wool has different ratings based on the fineness of the threads. The higher the number, the softer the material. 110 is a nice weight I think (off hand) for summer and will move well.
and when I said 'stay put', a slim tapered pant leg, if not fitted properly will not sit on the top of the show properly. it will constantly bunch up and get caught on the laces or on the upper.

here are some of my current shoes (they are all beat up from the winter, I am sorry):









hand dyed leather, full leather construction, handmade in Italy

hmmm.. I definitely need to spend time and study fashion and materials more..

this is like the time when my boss ran into my office and bragged about his awesome hand made pimp hat with some bird feather on it and how he spent over 500$ on it.. and I commented it looked the same as his other ones..

he didn't like me very much after..

if you walk in and go allll the way to the end, I saw 2 really nice sets. one was white/cream leather and other one suede.. both very modern and nice.. squarish.. maybe we are into different styles..

it looked like this.. minus the side tables..

that's not bad at all. but really not feeling the white tho. more neutral colors... like brown or tan... something along those lines... matches my place better. need something nicer while i watch the tv or playing ps3 lol.

but they probably want too much for it... i know the quality isn't that great with the couches i saw that day. it was just so-so.

I paid about 900 for my Hugo. I do spend alot of money on my clothes, but I don't think 900 for a suit is that much. Additionally, my personal favorite, in regards to shoes and accessories would have to be salvatore ferragamo. They are on the pricey side, but I will only pair my suits with their shoes and belts. I think in the end, it all pays off to "dress to impress." Ferragamo shoes hands down are my personal favorite and I believe they are very classy and modern or both depending on what look your going for.



This is the Ferragamo "Master" Loafer which is a little bit more casual than formal. I love most of the Ferragamo shoes because I wear slim suits and I don't have a large build so these shoes are narrow and compliment the suits perfectly.
