Where do you shop?

Eddie Bauer for the genes and casual attire, Nordstrom for business casual look and summer getup, and Men's Warehouse for the suits (no better place for practical and affordable custom fitted suits) .

I like most department stores - Hechts, Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor all have nice stuff. Also, for stuff like shorts and t-shirts, great deals can be had at JC Penney, TJ Max, and Marshall's.

I'm shoppin' at Sears, 'cause I don't buy at the Gap.

JcPenny is a good choice too. Their American Living collecting is by Polo and it is really nice stuff, IMO.

Ditto, I ususlly shop at JC Penny, they usually have a pretty good selection of reasonably priced suits.

I find name brands at Ross's and Marshalls at a much cheaper price.

I shop at three places.

1) Goodwill. A lot of people will wear an outfit for one night and then donate it. They usually have a lot of good stuff that is very cheap. When I first moved over to professional clothing I bought a weeks worth of clothing for under a hundred dollars. They have special days too where everything is even cheaper.

2) Consignment shops in the swank part of town (West-End). I shop here for the same reason as I do Goodwill, although the swank-jank consignment shops have better clothes.

3) J.C. Penny's on family day. You can't beat 1/2 price on clothes that have already been marked down.

For professional attire, Jos. A Bank 100% of the time. I frequently catch them in deeply discounted sale periods where their executive collection suits drop to $200 or less (regularly $495).

They last forever and look classic and professional. I'm exposed to senior executives on a daily basis and ruffling their feathers with edgy looking clothes wouldn't go over well. Jos. A Bank, and Brooks Brothers, but Jos. A Bank especially comes off very classicly conservative.

One thing I've definitely learned, is it's worth dropping some cash on a decent wardrobe. Good clothes last longer and make you look more professional.

I'm also a huge Jos. A Banks fan, and like Schneed, like to catch them in their big sales. Last year I bought 7 polos for about 50 bucks.

Basically, I look for quality clothes on sale. So the internet is great. In the DC area, Syms has bargain prices on very nice clothes. I go there for a lot of my work related clothes.

Washington Redskins (http://shop.redskins.com/)

I require those that work for me to shop there, too.

I too think Jos. A Bank is good stuff but beleive nobody has ever paid full price there. They have all these crazy prices on suits as a gimick then say they are knocking off 40 or 50 percent. If anybody has ever spent $500 on JAB suit I have some waterfront property in AZ I like to sell you as well.
