Suits

[dolfan]

My guys shop at Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro AL. You also can find some great deals on suits at the Goodwilll store. Of course, that is if you don't mind wearing used clothing.

That's all we wear, isn't it? (Except for the 1st time, of course.) Good ideas, but are they in okay condition?

Ilovebigcats is right. Discount stores like Burlington Coat Factory and others are the way to go.

K & G men's story in Atlanta always has great sales.

That is where I get most of mine. However since I am not near it now, I have to find another one.

If anyone needs size 44 with 29" inseam on the pants, I have about 6 for free.

I don't see me in a 44 again.........maybe I can get down to a 46 from this 48

However, I don't understand people who will shell out hundreds of dollars for a cell phone because it does "stupid pet tricks" and gripe about the price of a suit.

And PG, I don't think you would be judged too harshly for wearing your Hawaiian attire. Most overseers of the past have done that with no problem.....you just want to look "important"

KIDDING!!!!

Dr. Ron, I think we get the picture.

If you go to macys and can find a "Alfani" suit you like on sale they are really nice. They are usually $500 but you can get sales as I said that you could get that brand and another for about that price but you have to watch for it.
At mens warehouse I like pronto-uomo they are nice as well but you have to find them on sale.

Before I had this buisness my old boss bought me a real nice suit and cashmere coat to go with it for christmas I love it I just hardly ever get that cold to wear a suit then a long coat as well.

Value City is usually the cheapest place to buy suits in our area. They have at times had Armani & other name brands. They usually have a big
end of season clearance sale on suits at the end of January (or beginning of Feb?) and mark them down 75% and more.

I've gotten really nice suits during the clearance sale for $ 15 to $ 25.

I've gotten decent clearance deals at Penney's and if you talk to the Suit Dept. manager - they usually have a mailing list (or at least my local store does) they can put you on to notify you of clearance deals before they actually become available to the general public. I usually get a letter that lets me come in before normal store hours the morning they mark them down & look through them before they get picked over by the general public.

don't give in - don't be the suit!

I am reading some good advice, and may have to use it some day myself. until then - not!

did i ever tell you about the "revival preacher" we had one time that preached a sermon on teh evils of wearing a tie, and that they were from teh devil to choke the life out of preachers?!

Exactly what I was thinking. I always expected - and loved to see - ministers/overseers from different parts of the world dress in their native attire - including Hawaii, which I know is in the U.S., but has that one-of-a-kind polynesian style.

I dress for comfort, not for style, athough sometimes a miracle happens and the two become one.

I agree with whoever said a woman must have invented ties because, to me, they are a garment of torture!

They want the "home field" advantage over you because in reality, they have little real experience living among and being pastor to the people of the nations that make up the church.

This reminded me of a youth event I attended several years ago. They had a guest speaker from headquarters & I guess he was attempting to dress down a little for the younger crowd. I actually think he may have still been VLB age at the time. I still remember it vividly - he had blue & white striped leisure (perhaps golf?) pants on. I don't think you can buy them anymore (and don't really think you could still buy them then - if you could they weren't in stores in our area!). They didn't have belt loops & had the big strap across the front.

I still remember the kids from my church telling me they had never seen pants like that before. It's funny how people try to dress for their audience only to look "out of place".

Pastor Gary - I vote for khakis, a Hawaiian shirt & possibly a snazzy sports jacket - or perhaps the Don Johnson look?
