I suggest (since you're investing for the long-term) a simple style that is timeless.

-100% wool
-one- or two-button
-notch lapel (but I think you, ALH, would really dig a shawl lapel)

Personally, I'd steer clear of a double-breasted.

Have fun!!

Hummm... I have wondered about double breasted in terms of really wanting to get the wear out of it. The simple/timeless is what I do need. I have seen some shawl lapels that I like, but, dunno... maybe stay more traditional.

Probably go over to the Castro so I will feel comfy trying them on and being fitted. Although I am getting tired of the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area, for this it is good to be close to SF.

Thanks Thinker and Thanks All!!! Some good ideas!

Agreeing with Thinker about the double-breasted. I have one db suit and won't buy another simply because it is aggravating and kind of uncomfortable to negotiate sitting down. I don't know - maybe it is just me.

I have one double breasted tic jacket. Has vents, a pair. No problem sitting. Hmmm. Not sure what to say. I'll try on some ... and see.

Anyone try out the high collared shirts? I really like the looks of these ... and, I have a long neck, so maybe this is good for me.
I've been cruising eBay lately. There's interesting stuff on the site. But since you can't try on .... don't know if that will be a problem. Can't tell the taper of most pants when they are folded, and can't determine the rise, either. Anyone shop on eBay?

jeans and t-shirts most of the time; either vintage, designer "factory" stores or ... well i'm just to mean to spend a fortune on clothes, but i have a tight eye for style and it matters to me. cargo pants. button down shirts. all from the men's department. customised, funky suit jackets. boots, sneakers, bare feet. men's pyjamas.

I do! I learned to never buy from a seller with less than 99% positive feedback and? it matters to me that items of clothing come from a 'smoke free' environment, so that also matters in the description of clothing items.
Hope this helps, may you be victorious!

FYI - all posts cut/pasted with parts taken out 'cause too long otherwise and I don't think that any meaning was missed by doing so. Please let me know if any offense taken and I won't do it again! The dots (...) indicates where editing occurred

Just an FYI: The latest Detail (men's fashion magazine) says that double breasted is the "must have" style this season!

(but personally, I'm not too big on the double breasted, either).
