Can we have another fashion/clothing thread? Pretty please?

After 4 years I've finally started to wear through the soles of my high top chucks. Looks like its time to buy another identical pair.

It has to be relatively cheap, and does not need to be high quality - this is more for fun than for business, as he works at a seafood restaurant. He is the skinniest boy alive and needs something slim-fit that works well with his frame. Anyone have any suggestions? There are a bunch of good-looking ones on ebay but they're basically all from Hong Kong and while this is not inherently a problem, it means that returning for fit issues becomes much more difficult.

Slim fit for sure on that boy. Have you checked like Kohl's or Burlington Coat Factory? Online at least, Burlington's most expensive jacket is $100.

Here I figured the Marine Corps was usually BEHIND the bell curve tech wise. Even the security company I work for is almost 98% shifted to electronic everything. I haven't seen a fax machine in use in years, my office had one when I was doing Operations, but it was unplugged in a corner, everything was moved by PDF with electronic signatures except for the few things we needed a hard copy archive of like the flight schedule, pilot log books were also kept in physical form as well as electronic, but that's tradition more then anything else.

This is an excellent fashion choice. (not sarcasm, I love my chucks)
As for suits, if you want a good suit on the cheap and aren't really looking for a specific cut (English vs. Italian vs. American) locate a good tailor (if you live near a military base go that one, they're usually cheaper and they know what they're about) and then make a run to your local good wills/salvation armies, find a suit as close to size as possible in good condition. You'll pay no more then $30. I have three Italian suits from this method, and they're all tailored. I don't care if you're having the suit made for you, or you're buying it off the rack, it needs to be measured, fit and tailored to the wearer in person. Sure it's an extra $10-$20, but it's well worth it. Especially considering how much you're saving on the suit itself.

Thanks, both of you! I found this online, and I like it a lot: http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-c26473/billy-london-slim-fit-sharkskin-suit-separates.jsp
I guess we will be going to Kohl's soon! And I will definitely check out some thrift shops. I just can't wait to see him in a suit <3
