Its where execs who dont know much about fashion shop. They feel like they're buying something good because they spend a lot of money but in reality is if they educated themselves they could get something much better for similar money, or same quality as BB for less money. Mean's wearhouse is where people who have no money and no fashion sense shop. Thats what basically BB is with jacked up prices. Terrible american cuts on shirts and suits, overpriced everything,

BB performs well in the market segment of people with more money than sense.

Gucci has also been ruined by blacks. Upscale white women are carrying Kate Spade bags these days

This is all starting to make sense. Araysar is one of those gay guys who hates gay people because he hates himself and won't accept his own sexuality.

Oh sure, because straight men are not allowed to be dressed well.

I'm European, I cant let myself look like you American slobs who own 1 pair of pants, 1 pair of shoes and 3 shirts that you wear for the entire year

Shop at Brooks Brothers, there is nothing wrong with their clothing, it's just a little overpriced. He doesn't like the cuts because he's an effeminate European who likes his clothes to fit nice and snug to his lady like arms and waist. (Well maybe not, their shirts do tend to be a little balloonish in the arms and torso, nothing a tailor can't fix for ~6-8 bucks or just buy the extra slim fit)

Or find out your size and buy from retailers like Charles Tyrwhitt. Same quality as BB but they have some pretty great deals, like shirts for 30USD. Custom clothing is usually worth the money though, and if you can find out when the traveling Hong Kong and other asian tailors are going to be somewhere near you it's worth the trip. Very nice clothing custom made and at a good price point.

TL;DR Wait for a sale at Brooks Brothers or go online and buy from retailers like Charles Tyrwhitt when they have sales as well. Nothing will ever compare to custom clothing but even Brooks Brothers is going to be significantly cheaper than that unless you're buying in bulk or find out when the travelling Hong Kong tailors are going to be near your area.

I'm at a weird place because I dislike the american cut for the morbidly obese but hate the skinny hipster european cut as well.

Fuck it I'm just wearing Hawaiian shirts every day with socks and sandals.

So buy a suit and tailor it?

Isnt that the whole point of shopping at such a high end place anyways?

Fly to England and find a good bespoke tailor and have some suits made. Then fly to Italy and have some shoes made.

Nothing more disgusting in the world than an american dress shirt that baloons around your torso. Id rather wear tattered rags

Thanks for the information folks! If anyone has any more places to buy high quality clothes, please don't be shy and post away. High quality is the goal here and not necessarily price.

Something I've started doing is that when I find a shirt that fits me well and is of good quality, I write all the information down, and save the price tag and receipt in a binder I have. Then, when I need to replace the shirt, or want more, or want more in a different colour, I call the store from which I bought it, and order them sent to my house. If they no longer have it, a google search always finds it, and no retail experience necessary.

It's a little easier to just look at the tag to find out what store you bought it at and just remember your size. It's only 2 measurements and a cut. 16 x 33.5, Slim. And it should be the same at any store you shop at if it's a reputable brand (outside of the cut, that can differ. Slim at Brooks Brothers is different than Slim at other clothiers and retailers)

Now if you're talking about custom clothing, well then it should be even less work for you. Just call the tailor and say "Hey it's Dirk, I need more shirts made exactly the way you made the last one"
