where do you buy work clothes?

Postby **Duane 3NE 2NR** » September 22nd, 2007, 4:08 pm

another thing to note guys

ALWAYS wear dark coloured socks to work
Socks should be calf-length or above the calf.

take a read

above the calves? :shock:

Unless yuh wearing some young young pants I doh see the sense in that. 3 inches above the ankle is fine for me.

^ LOL - I was just quoting the suggestions. I think once your socks are not slouching or on your ankle you should be fine

i hear yuh pallie. same feeling here. fed up with local stuff that washes out fast or doesnt fit well.

so for the past 2 yrs i've shopped abroad. i only go when they have sales.
picked up calvin klein, kenneth cole, perry ellis, nautica etc... jus come back from post-xmas, new yrs and post new yrs sale in miami&orlando

pants - $35
long sleeve, slim/modern fit - 20 to 25
short sleeve - 20
ties - 20
pullover sweater - 40
shoes - 70
t-shirts - 15 to 25 (like CK, guess, abercrombie and fitch, armani exchange)
t-shirts - 5 to 15 (aeropostal)
cologne - 25 to 35
club shirts - 20 - 30
jeans - 20 -30 (levis, and other brands) guess is still a bit more.

air fare was 255 (taxes incl)... all in all.. it's worth it.

i can't afford local prices. club shirts here are 400 tt, and a jeans at BC is 600 tt. a simple levis here is what.. 300?

My brother picked up a Nautica shirt from Macys in August, that lasted 2 wearings. Looks like the cloth was dry-rotted and started to tear when it was about to be ironed for the 3rd time. Just wondering if that was a one-time thing with this brand, or if anyone had similar experiences.

FYI, had better luck with Perry Ellis, Ralph lauren, Alfani, St John's Bay, from Macys. Wait, St Johns bay is JC Penney.

I do what TK does sometimes, but i also get stuff here. E.g. I have a couple flat front van huesen pants bought from all that jazz. They have lasted a few years well, until 2008 when they mysteriously shrank a little. :roll:

I think it was my dryer that did it.

Lol, can't even remember creating this thread.

Anyway I've gotton the bad habit of going to all the top of the line stores like bluegrass, bradfords etc and getting names of shirts I like, model number etc and then searching online like ebay etc. Most of the time it works out cheaper. I found the dockers shirts hold out pretty nicely along with banana republic. Somedays I wear some van heusens. They ok.

Btw, where can I get good work suits, like jackets etc
