The $15 off jacket at H&M is a pretty good deal. I need to raid other H&Ms though to find my size but I found a barracuda type jacket for $35 in waxed navy cotton. It should be $20 after the $15 off and should be a pretty good deal. Found a size 34R light grey blazer and had to snatch it up right away, a size 34 appears once in a blue moon and it surprisngly fits me better than the 36R.

I've seen more than several pairs of Allen Edmond dress shoes at the local Nordy Rack for about $150...great price for great shoes. Just a FYI.

Forgot I saw some Frye boots at Nordy Rack as well. They look nearly identical to the Red Wings I bought and returned at J. Crew except they were A LOT lighter and feel less bulkier on your feet.

When buying a suit, what if I need a different size pants from what size the jacket would be? I know some stores let you mix and max, but some stores only allow you to buy the set as is

you can buy suit seperates, but if you do that buy the top and bottom from the same label because even though its say black, different label or designers will use a slightly different shade. It can be noticeable.

Thanks, I knew to buy the same brand no matter what cuz matching colors is near impossible. I have the casual and semi-casual game down imo,I just never had to buy a suit until recently.

More than often, there is an inch or so of extra fabric in the inner back area of the pants that allows you to take in or let out without a problem.
This is how it was when I bought my Hugo Boss suit. This is also how A.P.C. does their slacks, in size small, medium, or large. You're suppose to get the inseams hemmed to your body and the width area as well.

Haven't tried the Extra Slim by BB yet, but this is the mix of fit & quality I've found so far. This is after the interview so it's wrinkled.
no longer virgin, pounded by Manhattan cement
Thanks for the good luck. Interview went phenomenal, drank a Naked Protein juice & banana and confident as Ben Affleck in Boiler Room.
Just a personal preference, but that shirt may look a lot better if you got it tailored or darted/takin in from the sides. Esp. if your not wearing a blazer.
Every shirt I wear with dress pants, or tucked in anyway needs to be somewhat tight or fitted, I can't handle the extra material flapping around.

A tailor can take-in a suit jacket at the sides, correct? I just got a new suit from Brooks Brothers and although the salesman said it looks fine, it still feels 'boxy' through the torso, and I like a snugger fit (this, to me, is the difference between American and European suits). If I take it back to them will they be able to alter it, because I don't think the jacket itself is too big?

Just make sure it fits in the shoulders. If so, the rest can be taken care of by a tailor.

This is my favorite NT thread; I appreciate the advice and love seeing the new looks posted but when some people post there daily outfits I'm just wondering, what's the difference between this and the WDYWT threads?

This is pretty much the only thread i check on NT ... so maybe i shouldnt say this, but i doubt the crowd in WDYWT care much about the way i dress (considering the average age on NT). Maybe i am wrong.
With that said ... here is a Casual Friday fit ... feelin' springy
