Like I just said, I just bought a Fitzgerald suit, in navy for my wedding in October.  Now I need a nice dress shirt, preferably white.  Any suggestions?  thanks


I like Thomas Pink for off-the-rack white shirts. At the low-end, Charles Tyrwhitt.

I'll try, but no promises. I have a pair of wellies that are too wide in the calf, but would be great for holding the hind legs...

I'm buying a bunch before I start working. Also, goatmeat.

Its raw, unwashed fleeces, though.

I have a question

I'm about to graduate college and start a new job in banking where I'll be wearing a suit to work everyday.  What's the best way to buy a couple new suits?  I don't need anything top of the line, but I don't want a suit that makes me look like the proverbial used car salesman and will fall apart after 6 months.  Should I just go to a department store and check what they have on sale? 

Jos A Banks and others like it seem like they have "Today Only! Buy one suit get 2 months of our inventory free!" perpetually.  Are these suits any good or just really really cheap? What a reasonable price to spend?  Should I stick with a designer suit- is teh extra cost justified?? Once again, I'm just out of college, have never bought a suit before and have no knowledge at all pertaining to the area.   


I would wait for a Brooks Brother's sale and pick up a couple of the 1818 Fitzgerald suits. Can't go wrong there. They go on sale often.
