Re: The threads thread - WRXtranceformed - 07-17-2017
Regarding the clothes boxes I can't speak for them personally as I've never tried them, but my brother is big into the bougie clothes scene in DC and does one of them. He likes it because you get a little bit of virtual fashion consulting and then they send you stuff to try. I don't buy clothes that often nor feel like I need a design consultant (my wife is a free one) so I've never tried it.
Glad Scotty brought up casual stuff, I will also hit up Kohl's every now and then (although their prices have crept up over the years) because they have really good golf polos and shorts. That's pretty much 90% of what I wear. Their "Grand Slam" golf khakis are the most comfortable shorts I own, I am a sweaty man so anything that I don't sweat through is getting purchased...and those shorts are it. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2885401/mens-grand-slam-active-waistband-stretch-performance-golf-shorts.jsp?color=Khaki%20Heather&prdPV=4">https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-28854 ... er&prdPV=4</a><!-- m -->
We also have a new outlet mall outside of town and I usually hit the rotation there of:
1. Under Armor outlet - mostly shirts
2. Adidas outlet - shirts and shorts
3. New Balance - worn 95% of the time
4. Off Saks Fifth Avenue - correction to my prior post, my current favorite tailored suit is actually from here (their brand) and fitted at a local tailor
5. Eddie Bauer - their outlet always has epic sales and their stuff is really high quality and fits me well
I will hit up REI every now and then if I need to re-up on some good casual outdoorsy clothes. Someone else here mentioned Prana, I am also a fan of their pants. North Face every now and then when their stuff is on sale.
Edit: Forgot to add Columbia for everyday / outdoors gear. Huge fan and they have an outlet in Leesburg

Casey Uses stitchfix and after the first box, and an email to her "Consultant" she typically buys the whole box. Usually makes it worth it with the discount received when buying the whole box.
I haven't really gotten interested in it considering my attire is typically jeans and a tshirt.

90% of my work attire is 5.11/Propper tac pants and shirts. Other times I've got a few Stafford suits I had tailored to me and two other suits (One Dockers and one Izod) that aren't tailored. I really like Stafford dress shirts as well as Van Heusen.
As for casual clothes I buy most of my shorts at Old Navy. For jeans, I've got 7 or 8 pairs of American Eagle boot cut from like 7 years go that still fit and wear well. That's about the only jeans I own.

My suits need replacing but JoS A suits. I've had em like 3 years and the elbows are basically blown out so I'm actually in the market to replace.
Basically two pairs of dress shoes I rotate that are saddle and black (Cole Haan and Johnston and Murphy). I have LL Bean camp mocs I wear more casually at work (tan) and Cole Haan driving mocs too (brown).
Shirts are a mix of TJ Maxx and Nordstrom rack. I love the fit of the Nordstrom shirts.
Chinos are basically BR and my jeans are Lucky 410 Athletic. They have a little stretch and fit my big thighs. Super comfy.
Casual attire is shorts and tee's or jeans and tee's.

Jos A has some excellent sales around certain seasons. i picked up a leather jacket from them years ago that was something like 70% off and its pretty dang nice.
