Get a new suit!

I love a good suit. I'm usually a little too particular to buy one from Men's Wearhouse, but this sounded like a good deal and I thought I'd pass it along.

Here are some tips when buying a suit:
1. Do not buy a double-breasted suit. These don't even look good on David Letterman
2. What suits are must haves? Navy blue, Black pinstripe (not chalk stripe), Charcoal Grey, and then you can expand into patterns like houndstooth, glenplaid, and I wish you people in Texas knew what seersucker was.
3. Always have your suit altered! Have the jacket taken in. It should not hang on you like a cloak. Eliminate the pleats. Some tailors will bitch at you for this, but a flat front suit is very high-end looking. Also, get rid of those damn cuffs. Ugh, that's so gross. Request a very slight break, too much and it looks like you shrunk.

Happy shopping! And, if you are too good for Men's Wearhouse (I totally understand), I hear Brooks Brothers is having a sale!
