They now have close to $1000 of my money ... Sheesh.

But, I sure got some nice clothes.

Damn.

They have some great sales, buy2 get1free, BOGO's and a lot of other sales.

Nothing I got was on sale today.

I drove all over town the last week looking for a classic style white dinner jacket tuxedo. The only vendor I found with a true classic style, was Jos. A. Bank ... That set me back over 6 bills. I really wanted to rent, but no one had what I was looking for except for these guys. Plus, I picked up several Tommy Bahama style silk shirts & slacks. Awesome clothes, but expensive.

The price I pay to hang w/ BQ babes. I need my head examined.

LoL ... That reminds me. I went to Shane Morton's house the other day to buy some of his artwork. He's an artist, tattoo artist, lead guitarist for The Luchagors, host of the Silver Scream Spook Show ( Professor Morte') and better half of Amy Dumas ... I told him I was going to Vegas w/ 9 show girls and he said, "ARE YOU NUTS" ?!?

LMAO !!

He's the only person who has seen right through the outward appearance of the situation ... LoL

Jet=Life in the fast lane?

Don't burn yourself out bro!

I love Jos A. Bank!

My favorite clothing store in the last few years. About 30% of my clothes are from there.

They are a tad bit expensive, but if you want quality, you gotta pay for it! I try to keep my eye out for their sales, (which are great!), that's when I so in and buy. But of course, once you get that sport coat that's on sale, you get to lookin...next thing you know you have about five other things that weren't on sale!

I know "Hawaiian" shirts can be corny sometimes in certain circumstances, but just about everybody has one. Nice for vacation, summertime parties, etc. They have some of the nicest quality, that's not cheesy looking.

...And I have to mention their sweaters; really great....just be prepared to throw down some coin!

Re: # 5 ...

I kept telling myself that while I was there. It's definately quality clothing. I can see how they make their money on $100 shirts & $70 belts, ect.

Wes - I was burnt out two weeks ago, which lead to my episode in Austin. I do keep a busy schedule, but it's much better now that I'm not drinking.

Now, if I could just get some sleep.

Cheaply made chinese crap. Way overpriced, and falls apart after about 5 dry cleanings. Many of what appear to be stitches are actually held together with glue.

Nothing beats a classic white dinner jacket.

BTW if you have a Pink store in your area, and want quality shirts & ties, check them out. Not cheap but great quality.

If you want a REAL Hawaiian shirt go on E-bay, they have a ton there OR go to your local Goodwill and Salvation Army stores, they have many too.

If you want to sleep well(and don't mind some VERY WACKY VIVID dreams in deep REM sleep) then ask your doctor for some 50mg Trazadone pills. They are non-habit forming and work well(cheap too/$5 bucks generic)

I think that a black one does, hands down.

Not impressed. the constant BOGO is more a reflectoin of their "regular" price. They remind me of Kohls in that regard. Mens warehouseish.

I do like their white travelers shirts but other than that not so much.

I go to a local taylor who purchases excess lots of some very nice suits and excess lots of fabic to make some custom suits. About the same price, much higher quality and top notch fit.

*shrug* to each their own.

About two months ago I "gave up" on fashion.

It's not that I am so damned fashionable to start with, but I find myself occasionally dropping a couple bills in department stores on new clothes.

I have thus decided that I would stop buying clothes except when necessary.........fashion is a distraction that has little appeal to me.

This was a neccesity purchase. Rarely do I buy clothes.

^Oh, I agree that one should dress appropriately at events, occasions, etc.

And I believe that one should have clean presentable clothes that are not offensive.

I got a couple of good suits when I was getting ready to retire from the Navy.

I most often wear shorts and t-shirts or pants and polo or button down shirts.

I think I've worn those suits 3 or 4 times since I bought them. But at least I have them for when they are needed.

#12- I'm the same way. Got more than enough suits, shirts, socks, & shoes than I need to tide me over. Some clothes are even still unopened in their original packaging.

But if I HAD to get something & had the time, I would probably go the way TW suggested. Friends of mine get their suits & shirts custom fitted for a few dollars more than "off the rack".

If I'm wearing a suit......someone has died......

For the price, Charles Tyrwhitt is a better deal IMHO. JAB has good sale prices, but you can get a half-canvassed suit from Tyrwhitt for the same price as you pay at JAB.

We have BQ women out here in PDX too, Jet. It's just that they don't require you to be someone you're not to be around them. Come as you are. Mi casa is always open to warm guests.

I have three Tom James Custom Suits..

The really great thing is 2 pair of trousers with each suit...
