macgregorstyle asked: B&B: I just had to follow up - I was able to find the red and light green Alpha khakis at UO; and bought the British khaki ones direct from Dockers. Best damn fitting khakis ever!!! You have inspired me be more thrifty instead of buying new: I've nabbed 3 diff pairs of Florsheim Imperial Longwings via EBay; and my first thrift store experience yielded a fantastic navy window pane blazer for $10. Thanks for inspiring. PS: Seriously how do continue to fit your clothes eating those burgers!? S.

Thanks for the follow up! I’m glad to hear I’ve helped inspire you to realize that developing a personal sense of style and dressing well needn’t be expensive. Sounds like you’ve come up on some nice stuff for sure—and there is, for me at least, the thrill of the hunt when looking for deals (new or used). May your thrifting/ebay luck continue! As for the burgers…there’s no garment more forgiving of a little extra weight in the belly area than a well fitting sport coat/blazer.
