Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[storm2006]

hows the instore tailoring at Suit Supply? My plan, if I go, was to have a one stop shop.

If it's a simple alteration like a a hem or taper, I'd even venture and say sleeve shortening, it can be done in store within an hour or two.

Yeah they claim that they do minor alterations such as the ones Serg mentioned while you wait but I usually have several little details done so it takes a few days. In my situation, I did not live in the same city (similar to you) so each time they would ship it to me after the alterations were complete. So even if you are in need of tailoring, they can do it and ship to you. While I do love my tailor at home, they honestly do a good job at Suit Supply in my opinion and their prices are cheaper than my tailor at home so that's a plus as well . Shipping was $15 and they hung the suit up in a large coffin-esque box. It arrived about a week later so it wasn't that bad.

I've deleted facebook twice since high school so this is the earliest picture I could find of myself. It was senior year, and I wasn't aware of how clothes should fit at all.
This was a XXL polo and I'm pretty sure I still have it buried in my closet somewhere....not going to even comment on the denim

Anyone see DWade's suit last night:

I wonder if its Thom Browne, that "capri" extreme high water look is right up his alley

I kinda like the suit, even though its double breasted...but those pants . They're almost up by his calves

This just looks awful, granted he carries it with confidence but I can't take the dude seriously.

As we're doing "throwbacks" now this is where I was at my largest, can't believe I let myself get to that size

Quick little read, but I enjoyed it.

Luxury is a state of mind.

http://dappered.com/2013/05/luxury-is-a-state-of-mind/

Hold on to your butts, we’re about to get philosophical here.

Dappered covers stuff. Lots of stuff. But stuff isn’t the end. It can be a means to the end, but it’s not the end. Here’s what that means:

It’s a beautiful warm day. You put on a favorite outfit, decide to take a long lunch, grab a bite with a date, and enjoy a glass or two of wine along side a fresh, uncomplicated meal before heading back to tackle whatever the afternoon has in store for you.

It doesn’t matter if your outfit cost $7,500 or $75. It doesn’t matter if you’re hopping a private jet to Marseille or riding your bike to the park down the street. That Pinot Grigio can cost $500, or it can cost $6.50. What’s key is that you’re taking the time to actually enjoy life, instead of always plugging along steadily towards some foggy goal that doesn’t pay off in the end.

It’s about choices.

We’re so damn busy, that hardly any of us have time to ask this simple question: ”What do I want?”

So stop. Stop what you’re doing and answer. If you’re so busy that you can’t stop what you’re doing at this instant (totally possible) to answer that simple, yet big, question, stop for just long enough to schedule 15 minutes in the near future to do so. Get by yourself somewhere that’s free of noise. Just you and a pen and a piece of paper. Don’t think too hard about it. Answer the question.

What do I want?

From the shallow and material (I want this kind of watch on my wrist) to the deep and meaningful (I want to be completely comfortable in my own skin), write it down. All of it.

Then look at it. Are you moving towards that? Or are you fulfilling bogus, mythical obligations to societal stereotypes and/or peer pressures from family and friends?

The price tag on luxury isn’t listed in dollars and cents. The cost is making smart decisions and having a tiny bit of guts. Luxury is what happens when you get to a place where you call your shots. You might work for someone else, you might be responsible for others, but you still have the ability to hit the all-stop and smell the roses. Self grown, cheap grocery store, or pricey florist bought roses… it doesn’t matter how much they cost in the end. Just stop and smell them.

Because you sure can’t smell them when you’re pushing up daises.

If I already have a corp card that gets 15% will it just get 33% May 22nd or is it a diff card altogether?

How you getting 33%?

If you have a corporate card, you get 30% off May 22nd. Otherwise, you get 15% off all regular priced items when there is no promotion/sale going on.

 

[dwalk31]

^Ok cool I just wrote 33% on accident

Good looks my man

Whenever I order from there I never see the option to insert my corporate number

In the e-mail after registering it says "At the top of the Billing & Shippingpage, select the Corporate Members tab to enter your number:" but I can't seem to find said tab on the billing and shipping page
