Where does your DH/SO buy clothes?

Mella&T · October 2011

DH wanted some nice shirts and pants so I bought him a bunch of stuff from Jos A Banks and everything fit horribly! I was shocked since their clothes are so pricey. I am sure if he went in person we might have had more success but his usual size just looked terrible and the fits were so weird. So, where does your DH get dress shirts and pants? Khakis?

JCPenney's, Macy's, The Gap

I've bought him stuff from Macy's, Gap, Banana Republic and Target. I was never a big fan of Target, but over time I've been sold! I get a lot of DH's shorts and casual shirts from there. Khakis too.

ETA: you could also check out Men's Wearhouse

FYI Jos A Bank has different fits for their clothes. I think it's the Executive Line, but I could be wrong, is fitted with broader shoulders which is what my husband needs. I know they have other lines and he can't wear anything from those lines because the fit is all wrong.

In addition, most of his clothes are from the Donald Trump line at Macys (which we both hate that we're supporting the Donald, but the damn things fit!) or from Brooks Brothers. DH has incredibly broad shoulders, which I love, but apparently are difficult to dress.

DH actually symbolizes with my bubble butt sizing issues because he has such difficulty in finding dress shirts!

DH buys his clothes at Kohls. Though recently for my sister's wedding he had to buy a suit (and tie and shirt) and he got all that at Mens Warehouse. I nearly choked over the $70 shirt. I admit I'm cheap, but I don't see why a white dress shirt has to cost that much!

H shops everywhere. Nordstrom Rack can be a good one.

DH doesn't have to dress up for work, but when he did he was just business casual and we bought a lot of things at Eddie Bauer. I loved their wrinkle free dress shirts!! No ironing for me!

For his casual clothes we usually go to Old Navy. DH has a very long torso in addition to being tall so its hard to find shirts that are long enough for him and Eddie Bauer works best.

Dh used to get his work stuff almost exclusively at Men's Warehouse. But during our wedding planning we had a run in with a very pushy sales person, so DH doesn't like to go there anymore. :-(

So now he mostly shops at Nordtrom's. He likes the Tommy Bahama line of clothes because their pants come unhemmed and Nordy's will hem them to the correct length for you. Since he is extremely tall (6'7") it is hard for him to find pants that fit properly.

SK- I agree, I don't underatand the difference between the Kohls white dress shirt for $30 and the Nordrom's one for $75... DH says he prefers the nicer ones, but honestly he has always been a brand h0r, so I don't know if it is really different or if it is in his mind.

Penny's, Macy's, the Gap and Old Navy are his go-to places locally but if we're on vacation, we go to the AC Outlets and he hits up Brooks Brothers and Polo.

Brooks Brothers or Kohls for work....

jadebaby · October 2011

Dh does a lot of dress clothes shopping at Kohl's. He also like Mens' Warehouse for shirts since they seem to be longer and the broad shoulder shirts seem to go in a little at the waist. (does that make sense?)

Penney's (which has ok suits , unless you need them for everyday wear), Kohl's, Target. DH has to wear work pants, so he gets those at Sears. (His job involves getting on his knees and fixing machines.)

Old Navy and Costco for casual clothes; K&G for dress clothes

Jos A Banks (their suits fit him really well), J Crew, Banana Republic, and Brooks Brothers outlet

daisyterp · October 2011

Brooks Bros (or the outlet) - their 356 line or whatever the #s are- that's where the majority of his suits, and his navy blazer are from, a lot of his shirts, too. He also has one suit and some pants from Tom James- he got a few shirts from them, but they shrank! anyway they are direct sales and the stuff is semi-custom. He picked up a few no/low-iron shirts from Nordstrom during the anniversary sale, and I now stock up on the Eagle brand no-iron dress shirts @ Macy's when they are on sale, because they are a lot cheaper than the BB's ones- BUT BB's offers a lot more colors, stripe patterns, etc. than Macy's does. He has some polo/RL/J. Crew stuff that his mom & sister buy for him at the outlets and some khakis from Banana.

Work clothes? Jos A Bank. We wait until they have a good sale and go. H has never had a problem with their clothes, but we always go to the store. For non work clothes he does Old Navy and Kohl's. He has the same ON shirt in 7 different colors. He's pretty simple when it comes to clothes.

Jos A Bank (I get a discount...but sometimes it doesn't matter since they always have sales), Brooks Brothers (also get a discount), J. Crew, BR, Macy's, Gap...

In reality, DH rarely buys clothes for himself (he thinks he doesn't need any), so the people who buy for him are me, his mom, my mom, and my sister. He did get really excited though when his boss had some guy come in to fit all the guys for some custom-made dress shirt as a present...it cracked me up how excited he was.

Brooks Brothers has the best customer service and quality IMO...though you pay for it. Their dress shirts and ties are so nice!
