iIchecked out the Gap at the nearest mall–they have 28W 30L dress pants that just need to be hemmed. Best brick and mortar option I’ve seen for buying flat front pants.

I just noticed that the Gap has 28×28 dress pants–online–does anyone know if they have them in their stores?

Nice post, but I’d wager it’s only applicable to those in the bigger cities. I live in a Pennsylvania small town and the lack of a variety in clothing stores means that you see the same things trickle down.

Speaking of online shopping, that’s the only way I can get anything that fits me decently.

Hey, the buttons on my XS J Crew slim fit shirt are on the same side as my women’s size 4 shirt!

Great points on thrift shopping, especially the gender subject. I recently landed a great ribbon belt on eBay placed in the women’s section. Don’t be discouraged by someone’s classification system.

Lets see some more posts!

As thrift stores go, I’d give highest ratings to Salvation Army, Disabled America Veterans, and St. Vincent DePaul. Prices are better, and selection is less sorted (I’m a picker). Goodwill does a lot more to sort their merchandise and marks up accordingly, which means that I’m less likely to find the vintage things I like (50’s-60’s Towncraft plaids) at a standard price.

Some of the BEST salvation Army Stores are in Connecticut. When I graduated college years ago, my dad and his fashion guru friend, took me to a dozen Salvation Army stores throughout the wealthiest parts of CT. My first day of shopping for $200 I bought 20 shirts sizes S and 15 1/2 32, made by brooks brothers, nordstroms, faconable, ike behar, burberry, polo, and other italian and french companies that have slimmer fits. I got two leather belts, a Polo purple label tie ($120 retail) for $2 and a Brooks Brothers suit in 38 Short and a J.Press Navy Blue Blazer and a Burberry all cashmere camel hair top coat for $20 (retail over $1K), size 38. My favorite items I still have 5 years later came out of that thrift store run. I have since bought Valentino, italian silk and cashmere tweed jackets that retail for $800 – I got two for $16 that actually had been tailored by the previous owner! and the sleeves fit perfect!

Yes, but no online shopping! :-(
