Based on Peter's description of his style he might literally own that shirt that Bill is wearing.
No, I was actually going to say I am far closer to Bill there than the other three. Maybe Wes when I actually go into the office.

The shoebank itself also has good clearance sales.

They have a Dalton boot on sale in Coffee for $150 USD that is very tempting.....I have a perfectly good Captain boot from Thursday Boots though...
Daltons and Captains are totally different styles though, I don't see the conflict. Just buy them.

I just wanted to drop in to say that I just had two suits made to measure at Suitsupply and it was a great experience. Both suits were insane and I can't wait to wear them anywhere.

I just checked out their site - interesting! I might have to give these guys a go, I'm loving lots of stuff in their classic and contemporary suit lineups!

One of the suits is a single-breasted in a green corduroy with super wide lapels and reverse pleats. Going for a very 1970's retro Italian vibe with it.

The other is a pretty straight-forward circular wool flannel in a flecked kind of navy.

I'm just so sick of tee shirts and shorts.

Most new clothes I buy now are Suitsupply. I absolutely love their stuff.

Their casual clothes are just as nice as their suits/sport jackets.

I actually think that as the pandemic ends people will want to dress nicer and wear suits and things like that again.

It sounds amazing. Hopefully you got the matching hat.

I recently purchased this jacket from Suitsupply:
Spoiler!


And quickly realized how much was missing in my life when I wore it.

That would look very good in the summer. Is it linen?

It's cotton. It's a Chino material, so it's pretty light weight.

Yeah I bought it for the summer as I had a few events to attend the last month or so. I can also see myself wearing it on a warmer day in the fall or spring with maybe a merino sweater underneath.

I used to be really into tailored clothing, but the pandemic and some weight gain kind of drove me into a more casual look. Now that I've shed some weight, I'm looking to get back into it, but with a bit more of a flamboyant look - hence the retro suit.

Dry cleaners hope you're right. They are on life support.

IMO for every person that wants to dress nice again and go to the office etc. we have three who want to remote work forever. But you could be right for dressing up for social occasions, I could see that.

Made the mistake of buying a bunch of relatively fitted suits during covid. Sales were great. A lack of cardio and a surplus of squats have changed my shape quite a bit...now I need a good tailor.

Harry Rosen....I think they actually provide free tailoring. Unfortunately my buttocks growth may be untailorable.

I’ve been far more casual since returning to the office. Part of that is weight gain but also I don’t really have a dress code anymore. I like wearing suits but not everyday
