Thanks for adding me. I'm grateful to be a part of this community.
Off-topic: Did you see the craze in Boston? Why would someone bomb a marathon, how sick can you get, and so soon after those school shootings.. Anyone here from Boston? If so hopefully you're alright. Prayers to everyone there.

Not to take this off-topic but I'm asking myself the same thing right now, this world is just ridiculous. Like I said you never know when it might be your last.

I have a lot of family out there.
I posted in the thread that I have twin cousins, one a cop and one a firefighter up there, so we're all trying to get in touch with them. I hope that they're just busy working and nothing else.

Unless budget really is an issue, please don't limit yourself that much by a dollar amount and definitely not by going the Jos A Bank route. Hope you're looking far enough out in advance that you can explore as many options as possible. I wouldn't do the retail store route like Banana Republic or Express as mentioned. Get yourself properly measured AND ask friends, family or anyone whose fashion sense you trust to come along and make sure it fits you well.
Biggest thing is to find a reputable tailor and allow for alterations. It's your wedding and if you're buying a suit, it's the one time you should splurge and make sure it's done right.

So the guarantee that you're gonna like the way you look wasn't true? I'd go back and tell them, "Your CEO lied to me." From the most recent commercials I've seen, dude says they've modernized with slimmer cuts, higher armholes, smaller lapels...I'll take his word for it.

Steezy didn't know what he did then so he probably really liked the way he looked that day
. While I do agree with your sentiment about splurging, since I wasn't sure if it was an option, I wanted to work within his budget. Even the suits at the higher end of his budget (SuitSupply, J. Crew) will require probably and additional $100-200 in tailoring. Speaking of which, I'm not sure of your location, wedding date or suit size (they don't make larger than a 42) but Thick as Thieves is another made-to-measure (MTM) option: http://www.thickasthievesla.com/ . Per Scar's suggestion, if you tell us your location, maybe some members can offer you the names of MTM clothiers in your area.

In light of recent events in Boston, I hope the Boston DB dudes in here are safe and unharmed.

i should've said in the nyc area. the places i listed are a must go for us. just looking for clothes and shoes, nothing really specific, so if there are any other areas worth visiting please let me know. the places i've listed so far definitely will have all our mall brands covered. need to hit up uniqlo and h&m as well. hopefully i can find an h&m with those sweat pants still. can't find them anywhere locally.

DB Fam,
Can you give me some tips on what I should do to make this suit fit better? It's an Indochino suit that I got for really cheap. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My chest isn't that wide, the jacket just makes it look like that. Pants fit great. Wondering if I can get the alterations done here without having to send the jacket back.
Also, how does the J Crew Ludlow fit? Is it a bit on the slim side?
Thanks in advance y'all. Much appreciated.

Anyone own any of the JCrew Factory polos?
http://factory.jcrew.com/mens-clothing/tees_polos_fleece/polos/PRDOVR~15413/15413.jsp
I'm in the market for polos that look good untucked (short in body length).. I hate how long Ralph Lauren polo's are
