This is what we have to look forward to this week? A flame war between a person who shouldn't be using a collective first person pronoun and a person who should?
The sweet release of death is looking like a better option daily, but I'll settle for the sweet release of L-tryptophan. |

I'm thinking about getting a new suit or two. In the recent past, I've always bought Joseph Abboud, not least because they fit me well. Any suggestions for other labels I should look at?

I am lovely, thank you so much for asking. I am sitting by the pool in the lovely 80 degree weather (sunshine with a light breeze) and getting a bit of work done before committing myself completely to vacation tomorrow when my brother OddOdds arrives.
Unfortunately, the OddMan did not accompany me on this adventure. The Odds family is having a no-SO holiday so we can spend quality time with our mother.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

I'm an Abboud guy, too. I also have a Mani and a Hart, Schaffner & Marx that fit well.
If Abboud fits you well, like me, you can pretty much forget about Hugo Boss... Can never get them to fit through the shoulders. |

no, Not Bob, when your coat clashes with your pants, that is not a "diversity suit."

Pony, as I recall, is a big fan of Hickey-Freeman. I am more of a Brooks Brothers or Hart Schaffner & Marx kinda guy.
One thing to keep in mind is the audience -- if (like me) you make your living as a litigator (or, as I like to say when I'm speaking at a bar luncheon, as "a trahhhl lawyuh") in a pretty conservative part of the country, you shouldn't be wearing Slave's 4 button Hugo Boss suit while at work.*
*That being said, you can wear a French maid's outfit at home if that's your thing. Not that it's mine. Uh, not every weekend, anyway. |

So sex is out of the question?

I didn't see the game in question (or even the highlight), but sometimes it's a matter of trajection.

Anything that's not Joseph Abboud.
Actually, I also own two JA suits (from when I lived in the greater CT/MA area. They served me well for my 40k/year job between college and law school. But they're not Good Suits (tm). I often see them now at Loehmans, when I go there to look for shirts and ties, which I have decreed it is perfectly ok to shop for at a discounty joint like Loehmans.
I'm quite partial to Hugo Boss suits, and ones hand-made by the guy who calls himself Michael Hopkins* who visits lawyers offices in Los Angeles (and New York, I'm told) selling suits, doing all the measurements and fabric selecting at your office so that you don't have to stop working.

Mani are great. They fit me very well. Many of their suits are tapered down at the waist. Boss and Abboud have always looked boxy on me.
I have a Kenneth Cole suit that actually fits great (which I guess shouldn't be too surprising since Hart Schaffner Marx makes them for Cole(I think?)).

Blasphemer. Loehmann's men's section may suck, but Loehmann's can have smashing deals on worthy stuff (at least in the Back Room) in a much more pleasant atmosphere than any other discount place.
By far beats the filthy linoleum and deal-mad supersized tourists pawing the grimy bins and chipped racks at Filene's Basement.

Is your point that The New Yorker is high minded? Or that looking down upon eccentrics who live amid cat shit is high minded? The first proposition is a common mistake but easily forgiven. There's precious little that a polite person can say to you if you believe the second. |
