I brought a shirt to change into this morning, so - technically - this isn't last night's outfit. But it's close enough... For those of you lucky enough to not live in a State-controlled-alcohol State, the concept of spending the night in a parking lot just to be able to hold a spot in line to purchase alcohol may seem a bit foreign. However, that's exactly what I did last night. I'm currently sipping a glass of bubbly while waiting on my wife to finish putting on her makeup and meet me downtown for brunch...

Don’t be sheep. Before going into Travers Mahan last night https://www.skool.com/rmrs/new-93a5e27b?p=220c5bea my wife wanted to stop at a shop and look for some new shoes. Shoes for her last about as long as a haircut for me. So she goes cheap. A three letter chain shoe-store had a men’s section which took me about 12 seconds to walk through and realize there was absolutely nothing I would buy in that place. While she was still looking I walked down to MensWearHouse. Hadn’t been into one of those in a long while. I must have come in during a break in the crowds because the two clerks were at the mirror and one guy about my height tried on a white coat made out of some synthetic “breathable” fabric and the other clerk was commenting how the “short” fit him well. It looked like he was wearing a bullfighting bolero jacket to steal a comment from one in this community. It didn’t fit him well at all. All the mannequins had miss fitting jackets. Both clerks had horrible fits on in atrocious fabrics. I really felt sorry for anyone they were advising. I was there long enough for the shop to get full of shoppers (it is prom and wedding season so folks were streaming in to get rentals). I tried on one Joseph Aboud coat in a plaid that was about the right length of coat (42 reg) but the operable button was nearly at my sternum. I am hesitant to post this because I know some of the brothers shop at MW. And perhaps your experience is different. But beware. Don’t become a sheep shopping for the best deal. One is likely to be shorn. Perhaps it’s wiser to buy just one quality navy blazer and one quality grey trouser that lasts both in style (Fit, Fabric, Function) than three suits for the same price that hits none of those.
