Default So I picked up a new suit

Yepp. I need a suit for some activities and events i need to attend to. I had originally bought a nice pinstripe suit at the Mens Wearhouse for like 300 bucks for the jacket and pants. After wearing it a few times i tripped on some crap one dark night in Isla Vista and ripped the pants. So the suit was basically ****ed casue i couldnt get replacement pants to match. Anyways this weekend I was in downtown LA by the garmet district if anyone is familar. I saw a store that said suits for $100!! I was like okay i gotta check it out. So I walk in there, and take a look at the suits, they seem decent and cant complain for the price. So i tell the guy i'll take one. I try it on, and then he brings out some shirts for me to pick, and a tie. So apparently its 100 bucks for the complete suit, shirt, tie, BELT, and Socks!! I was like oh shit! Haha i jumped on that real quick. I dont care if its cheap material (doesnt look like it) but I'm broke and need something nice so this will do for now. Anyways that was my weekend purchase!

I always just go to Brooks Brothers :dunno: I noticed how my fathers suits lasted for years and years in pefect condition, and decided to spend the extra money for a suit that looked good and would last a long time rather than having to buy a new cheap suit every year :dunno:
