Most of my biggest mistakes were from leather or suede jackets. I think the idea of them is better than the reality
Yeah I burned through three in quick succession last year before scoring a Boss Orange leather / fabric hybrid on sale for $700. It's so much more versatile than an out-and-out leather jacket.
i have never found a leather jacket that didn't make me look like and extra on the Sopranos

On me it either feels too restrictive (leather moto) or feels heavy and shapeless (bomber)

Lee Jeans and work trousers are really cheap on amazon. Once you work out sizing. The new rules have reduced that slightly but it's still good. I used to order sports fan stuff from fanatics but the GST rules have made this less attractive unless the gear is on sale
I buy my work chinos from ASOS for NZD52 each but often buy multiple pairs when a discount is on offer which makes them as cheap as chips.

Get rid of the Paulie Gualtieri hairdo, might help.

I fucking hate online shopping.
I just want to go into the shop and buy the fucking thing.
I just bought my first piece of online clothing during lockdown, a macpac padded vest so I can cycle during lockdown in freezing Wellington. It's too big. What a pain in the arse exchnaging it is going to be.

Locally I like the stuff from 3 wise men. Good patterns, decent quality for reasonable prices. And regularly on sale
Same here. Have two suits and three blazers from them and a number of shirts. All on sale, although it helps I'm friends with the local manager so she gives me a heads up on when the sales are coming up.

The only disappointing thing was the inability to buy different sized suit jackets and pants. I cant buy them because the pants are always a couple of sizes too tight. But everything else is all good

Fuck I am struggling with this thread.
This lockdown has to end. What next bloody knitting?
Some of can't make or wear skin suits so we have to buy our clothes
You should learn. I mentioned knitting right?

The girls they hire are usually easy on the eye too. Not a deal breaker but it's nice

I'm wary of buying anywhere that doesn't have an excellent returns policy. Mr Porter overcharges, but at least they'll take something back no questions asked.
There are things that off the rack are basically guaranteed not to fit me. In Ginza I waltzed into the Hackett store looking for a sports jacket. Of course one that fitted across the shoulders was made for three of me in the waist. By the time it was tailored it would look like a detective's suit from Lowes.
Almost anything nice in Japan won't fit.

All of Asia is a write off

when i was much younger, i was in Politix in Sydney, and the shop assistant was hawt as fuck. She essentially joined me in the change room, tucking my shirts in to my pants etc
I bought so much. Certainly more than i could really afford! Brilliant salesman shit
