Dapper Doper Dudes, I have a few suit questions.

  1. 3
  2. 33
  3. K&G, MW, and a local store in Danvers MA, Gibblys (long ago)
  4. MW is not too bad, ok quality, a bit on the pricey side.

I’d buy from MW again, for no other reason that the most comfortable suit I own, both fabric and fit, came from MW. I’d probably pass on the ties and accessories (shirts, belts, shoes, socks) from them, but the basic suit was pretty good.

If you are going for “classic” looks to your suit, like I do, Single Breasted, standard lapel. “last years” model is not a big deal.

My $.03

  1. One complete suit, a few sport coats and lots of dress pants.

  2. 28

  3. A local, family-owned haberdashery

  4. I wouldn’t be averse to shopping there. I dated a girl who was a manager at a MW. She told me she’d hook me up with some good deals, but I never got around to picking anything out. She also told me she went to a MW managers’ convention once a year, and that creepy guy (the owner-- what the F#!* is his name??) would be there. She said his hair looked even faker in real life, and that he liked to hit the pipe.

On a side note, when I was in college, a friend of mine and I heard about this deal at The Suit Wearhouse, where you could buy two suits for $100. So we both went in and bought a suit. Crappiest suit I ever bought. Funny thing is, I still have it. Probably because I didn’t wear it enough to actually wear it out.

Happy
