Mind you, I now own more lady-things than I ever thought I would, so perhaps I'm full of shit...

working in a firm means suits a plenty, so it kind of kills the love of em. BUT when i see my boy in one, holy fuckin smokes batman!!! :drool and then some:

a well made suit is good though, this includes the shirt underneath. A dude at work constantly wears shirts a size too small and they are bursting at the seams. looks bad!!!


Jamesss - go check out David Jones, they have a massive mens suit section of all top sweet as brands, and you will get fitted properly

^Liz, you are right. It's not just about the suit. There's the shirt and tie too. Bad or dirty shoes can kill the look too.
Don't forget to update your shoes or keep them polished boys.

I wear a suit daily now, getting used to it and don't mind anymore.

Agree that the shirt/tie combo makes it, unfortunately the only shirts I've found that fit me perfectly are from Marcs & cost around $200 and their not even french cuff. Add to that a decent tie (my favourite Paul Smith cost me $190 farken) and it starts to add up pretty quickly.

I get my suits from Oxford, nothing too flash or expensive. Pinstripe FTW (makes a shortass like me look taller apparently)

You should have got some in Vietnam!!

Shirts are like $20 there.

Mine are holding up perfectly so far, although I am not expecting too much out of them.

Stupid Melbourne shirts.

They don't fit me either.

In fact I haven't found a single shirt in Melbourne in 5 years which fits me.

Although I haven't tried Rhodes and Beckett, I am told they might be a go.

I even tried "High and Mighty", but apparently you have to be both big and tall.

Rubbish.
