Title: Good online clothing stores?
Post by: Matt on September 23, 2009, 12:12:22 PM: Are there any? Like, not just T-shirts, but REAL clothes? And don't say Ambercrombie & Fitch - it's already my homepage.

http://www.acontinuouslean.com/the-american-list/

Some I've used that are pretty cheap.

http://www.usa-wear.com/ (the world's best rugby shirts, t shirts that are made in the USA but don't cost $30 each)

http://www.ebay.com (I've gotten some vintage clothes as well as my wedding clothes through ebay, though you need to know what you're looking for)

http://www.bestcustomshirt.com/ (if you can wait three weeks and have a tape measurer, you DEFINITELY want custom-made shirts. Not more expensive at all with their various deals).

Worth it if there's a sale, otherwise quite expensive.

http://www.filson.com/ (best quality rugged gear, puts Dickies and Carhartt to shame)

http://shop.oconnellsclothing.com/

http://www.theandovershop.com/

http://www.brooksbrothers.com/

http://www.jpressonline.com/

Shoes

You can get Red Wing/Vans/Bass/Sperry/Chucks/almost everything on Zappos. I can't afford really nice shoes.

But if you want the best shoes in the world, you need

http://www.aldenshop.com/

or

http://www.allenedmonds.com/

or, for more causal stuff

http://www.quoddy.com/

Only if you want your picture taken by the Sartorialist:

Post by: yesno on September 23, 2009, 12:50:08 PM: Also http://www.duluthtrading.com also. For outdoorsy/rugged clothes.

Also, Eddie Bauer has a douche reputation and I've never bought from them online, but I got the most amazing deals on good quality khaki pants and plaid shirts at an Eddie Bauer outlet store a few weeks ago. Like, a pair of pants for $4. It was really weird.

I'm a big fan of shopping for clothes at the hardware and camping stores when I can, because "work" gear that can pass in an office environment never gets wrinkled and lasts forever, and does this without being made of space plastic.

I really like your thinking, Mr No.

Yes, there's stuff on there that's marked down from $2000 to $700, or even from $5,000 to $1,400, but there's also stuff on there that's marked down from $100 to $30. New stuff goes up six days a week, the sales are limited, and the ladies stuff gets snatched up quick. You have a half hour to snatch something up from Tretorn (http://www.gilt.com/s/tre). I'll send you an invite. There are some really nice items there, almost all under $50. Oh wow, and there are some pretty good deals on Ted Baker suits (http://www.gilt.com/sale/splash/tedrtwshoes/7017145) here. The prices are lower than the Men's Wearhouse. Oh, and there are some pretty nice sneakers by Alife for $38-$40.

My favorite find? A super cute Alexander McQueen pair of flats with, like, an oversized pyramid stud. They were $78, I think. Unbelievable.

Edit: On Friday, there's going to be a Trovata Men's sale at noon. If I were a man, I would sit in front of my computer at 11:55 am and keep hitting the F5 button until the Trovata sales page is clickable. Trovata is great grown up clothes, but not too grown up, and I imagine the prices are going to be insane. I think hey retail for around $100-200. Knowing Gilt, you'll be able to snatch up some very nice wardrobe staples for maybe $30-$60.

I second the Gilt love. Another site called ShopStyle (http://www.shopstyle.com/browse/mens-clothes) is a nice amalgamation of lots of other sites ... I don't like the navigation though.

Post by: erika on September 24, 2009, 11:06:26 AM: Overstock.com is great and Lands End Overstocks can get you some excellent clothes that will last you a long time. Very durable stuff, and often at a good price.

Post by: snogrog on September 26, 2009, 07:13:56 PM: While somewhat expensive, roguesgallery.com (http://roguesgallery.com) is a cool place from Portland, Maine. Vintage t-shirts with cool themes and nicer clothes. I have a few things from there as my brother worked there and I wish I could afford some more.

Not sure if it's up your alley though! Just a suggestion!
