You can get some sweet stuff in consignment stores, goodwill, salvation army

I have several ties that I get comments on every time I wear them, all under a buck. My wife got an arctic weather 49er jacket, some championship or 50th anniversary, something like that $5 at a yard sale. She has these shoes she got for $20 that I had to fix the heel, $1200 Pradas. I have a pretty sweet Yves St Laurent suit she got me as part of a $5 for a bag.

I have a couple suits this little Italian guy made for me, he was Willie Brown's, the shady State Senator, Mayor guy. He is dead though.

Hong Kong was a good place to get a reasonable, tailored suit about 30 years ago, but that may have changed.

Yeah, let the gals do the clothes shopping, then are pretty good at it.
