Looking for better clothes

[Joe Huntsman]

I need some pointers.  Where is a good place for men's wear?  I need everything from regular jeans -- that are not skaterboy grunge -- to business casual slacks and shirts.  A nice suit or two wouldn't hurt either.

I have looked on the marketplace but what you see is not always what you get.  Is there a store name that is known to have better quality clothes?  Maybe a group that  knows where to shop?

 

Thanks for any help you can give me.

There are plenty of places known for their quality. I'm more familiar with the female ones, myself, but blogs are a great resource. I googled, and found a few that sound vaguely familiar from other threads:

Mesh is a good way to go - it tends to look better than system clothing, although system layers have their place. One plus side of mesh clothing is that it usually has demos. Try them. Other than having something attached or painted on to say that the item is a demo, it'll look basically the same as it will when you buy it, so you'll know that what you see IS what you get.

The big name that I'm familiar with that does men's fashion (also women's) is Redgrave. There are many, many more.

Thank you very much for the links, Ariel.  Those will help.

 

You have all the choices in this world.  I just hope to make someone you won't be embarrased to be seen stand next to.

Not you personally.  You women. 

I'll go back under my rock now.

Don't get discouraged! I wanted to give you some starting points, but others will probably start popping up in a bit with more experience than I have with men's clothing, and tons more pointers to offer.

Check out Lapointe and Bastchild as well. They have nice men's mesh.

Go to the primary Mens fashion events, see what you like then go to the main stores for those places.Go to seraphimsl.com to see what's available at the current round of the Mens Dept and Only Men.

Thank you all very much for the advice. I have a lot of places to start looking for now.  This should keep ne busy for a few days,

This is exactly what I was asking about!  That would be great.  Do you know where they are?  Which events should I be searching for?  The events searches are full of everything!  I am so lost trying to get started I don't even know what is a primary event and what is just basically a tourist trap..
