Nice Watch AND Apple Watch
I have trouble dropping the smart watch because it's part of my daily use. Feels weird without it.

Return or no?
Now I gotta clean the mirror, big issue is the chest and sleeves are too loose but I know a really good tailor. I just didn't want to spend $100-$150 if it really isn't a quality suit.

Return or no?
give me a minute. Mostly office work, sometimes court. I have nicer suits for court because I work in law.

What are the pros of Polyester?
The way I understand it is that polyester is a stiffer fabric creation. So for suits, it doesn't hang as naturally but looks good on a mannequin. As soon as you raise your arms, it can scrunch up. It also doesn't breathe very well so that can make it poor for warmer weather. Finally, some companies use it as a cost cutting measure so it can create a cheap looking design? It's probably how you use it though.

Best affordable dress shirts?
I'm looking at the shirts right now an apparently "MONEY23" still works. 3 shirts for $33./ea. Free shipping. I'm tempted even if it's 3 white dress shirts.

For thrifting what is the percentage off retail you aim for?
So Goodwill I might find a dress shirt or two. But I visited three last weekend and they were all picked over and had maybe 4 suit sets total. Most weren't in great condition (let alone my size)
I think eBay I just need to watch for a while and get a sense of prices but I'm competing with resellers there too.

Thrift Jacket Feedback
Ok thanks. I think I struggle identifying the construction quality. I think I need to examine higher quality pieces and get better reference points.

Mens Wearhouse Clearance fine for work suits?
Yeah, I'm a 46 L with broad shoulders. A lil over 6 ft. Jacket should be fine. Pants are .5 inch either way depending on suit and will need to be hemmed. I ordered 6-7 different models thinking I might keep 2? Looks like I barely make cutoff for Spiders and Markay in jacket size. I'll have to watch for deals.
