Went to a job interview once and rushing to make the train, put my
overcoat on over my shirt, forgetting my suit coat.
Didn't realize it until I was on the train.
This was when some "consultants" were expected to wear 3-pieces.
Got the job anyway.
I told one jomoca account manager who suggested I get a 3-piece,
"Sure, if I can expense it."
Never had one.
My wife got all my suits from rummage stores for 5 bucks.
One new Brooks Brothers she paid $20 for.
Of course that's me. I can understand others not wanting to possibly
wear the clothing of the deceased. I just figured the prev owners
gained weight and the suits wouldn't fit any more.
Doesn't matter. I did the suits proud. And I gots money for a boat.
When I stopped working I either gave or threw every business suit and tie
I
had away.
I told everyone in my family, young and old, that if anyone of them
planned
on getting married or dying, don't bother inviting me to the ceremonies,
because I won't wear a suit.
Did go to a wedding though .... decent pants, shoes and a shirt. No suit.
No tie.
Dude - even I have two suits, a couple of sports jackets and ties.
Mrs. Wave makes me wear them to important things like weddings,
furnerals, baby christenings, etc.
You are one lucky guy. :)- Hide quoted text -

I have 4 nice suits *probably 10 *sport jackets about 20 dress shirts
a good variety of Dockers and probably about 100 ties.

Ties??
I was reading somewhere that doctors' ties are one of the worst sources for
germs etc.
You can imagine...all those sick people sneezing or breathing on them while
the doc does his examination.
The doctor touches the tie and then sees you next.
How often do people dryclean/wash ties anyway??
mmmmmm that's an idea..a spray something like Febreze Antibacterial Spray
just for ties.
If I could just get a fraction of the 'merican cruise ship passangers, who
pass through here yearly, *to buy *I'd be driving two BMWs to impress the
neighbours!http://www.portofhalifax.ca/english/...-schedule/...- Hide quoted text -

Don. I ain't no Doctor. But I figgah that letting them sit in a dry
closet they don't germ up anyhow, at least not much.
One thing cool about ties is that occasionally I'l wear a tie or so
that my grandpa had in the 30's and 40's
Vintage hand painted silk.
you gotta love 'em.
