    What is wrong with Mens Wearhouse?

    This is what I recommend for a first suit, because it's quite modern, very versatile, and inexpensive at $140. http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html...I&frombrowse=1 Certainly it's not a Brioni or Attolini but it should last through an interview season with no problems. I own a couple of...

    What is wrong with Mens Wearhouse?

    They said it should be ready by tomorrow or Monday, would that mean that they already started the altering though, considering how little altering was needed? That has little bearing on the larger equasion. You bought the suit and you need to man up to it take it for what its worth and make...

    What is wrong with Mens Wearhouse?

    IMO it's kinda tacky to take back an altered garment...unless it had some serious flaw. It seems to me that you have a perfectly okay suit. Yeah, you might have gotten more for your money in all probability. With the knowledge I have now, I could gotten more for my expenditure when I bought...

    What is wrong with Mens Wearhouse?

    The only alterations were letting down the sleeves slightly and cuffing the legs. The return policy says that it is up to the managers discretion in regards to alterations but the main thing at hand is that I got something worthwhile, even if it means I messed up and spent an extra $70 bucks or...

    What is wrong with Mens Wearhouse?

    So giving advice on where to find clothing at affordable prices to college students that are obviously on a budget is in bad taste? I failed to find anything at all obvious about this person other than he is seeking approval from a very biased and critical group of men of deserning taste and...

    What is wrong with Mens Wearhouse?

    It looks like a perfectly fine, if unremarkable, suit, and should fine with the proper alterations. And far more people advocate flat fronts than actually look good in them. Regardless of the quality of your first suits, you're not likely to wear them for more than a couple of years anyway...

    What is wrong with Mens Wearhouse?

    So, it's good taste to buy something for $300 rather than the SAME SUIT for $150? No good taste is choosing a suit that you like from a place you choose to purchase it from and then wearing it in good health. Bad taste is condeming some ones decision to purchase one place insted of another...

    What is wrong with Mens Wearhouse?

    well, he bought a pleated 2 button pinstripe suit so there goes your theory haha... I don't understand why you'd go to Men's Wearhouse and pay $300 for a Lauren suit instead of going to Marshall's or Ross and paying $150 for the same suit, or Target and getting a solid charcoal or navy suit...

    What is wrong with Mens Wearhouse?

    I recently purchased my first suit, and it happened to be from MW. I ended up going with the Lauren, center vent, two button charcoal pinstripe: http://www.menswearhouse.com/menswea...=1169683037597 After reading the forum about interview attire, etc. I came across a lot of MW bashing. I am...

    Walking shoes

    Mother had same and ended up losing most of her toe and all the insides of it in 3 operations and then had to have the nerve killed to it. She has never walked well since and had a heck of a time finding shoes. I am about to buy several pairs of new balance of eBay.

    Walking shoes

    My sister always supports new balance and they support her in cancer marathon runs. I have never seen a pair of new balance but I will now. I thank you for the info. I may need some surgury as well as I think I have a bone spur but mostly I need lipo suction on my spare tire gut to get the...

    Walking shoes

    I've been walking all day with my Adidas Mat Hogs and my feet rarely get sore. First couple of days as I adjusted from my others shoes I was a bit more sore but now I barely notice anything. It's surprising since they don't have any cushioning. I too am seeking some thing of ultra comfort. I...

    Hats! any one wearing them?

    I'm one of those rare and curious beasts almost never without a topper of some sort--usually a fedora, although in the winter I sport a homburg about once a week. Given the paucity of follicles on my upper precincts, a hat's valuable for keeping my head warm in the winter and for blocking the...

    Hats! any one wearing them?

    I have a black fedora, dearstalker, and a panama. Pretty much covers all the bases but eventually I'd like to get a grey fedora. Tj I like you love a grey fedora and always make that my first hat but recently I have been wearing browns. I have some really high end Panama's but do not wear...

    Hats! any one wearing them?

    I love to be dressed nice and put on my sunday best and a fine hat and go for a night on the town. I have not had that pleasure for the past four years as I have spent my days and nights rescuing a dying global hat trade and am making some in roads in this area. I also have been training an...

    Removing pant pleats from Attolini suit

    I am confused about much here. One it seems that some support doing what others may find they would want and the pants are yours. You should do what you want. Any tailor worth their beans can do this project with no problems. My tailor ( when I used her over the years and not recently) has...

    Shoe Damage Report & Appreciation Central - Part I

    OH YES! I do not normally care a great deal for Black shoes but I do like these. Mighty fine.

    Reuters Says - No Brown Shoes !?

    You cannot legitimately extrapolate the style of a niche group to the masses. Amen to that thought.

    Marketing and communications, global market

    Maybe there are good answers to this and at some levels courses may should be taken. As a primmer however I think applying the same levels of concern you would to your native country should be applied. Marketing to a global society, I have found one thing and that is people are people the...

    What do you have in your kitchen?

    I am at a fair disadvantage here and also an advantage as I can learn some new things. I started building this project 20 years ago and still at it. While we have a small working kitchen down stairs with just stape goods, I had began the upper level with state of the art at the time. Now all...
