Looking for cheap-ish clothes
Def eBay. You have to live with idea that you will have some hits and misses. The price makes it palatable. Typically if you end up with something unseen re: stains, smell, etc... you can rectify with a little laundry research, dry cleaning, or just airing things out. Also worthwhile to have things tailored or altered to fit your frame. All kinds of great vintage Polo, Brooks Brothers, etc... that in many cases are preferable to what you'd get today from same brands. On the other hand, J Crew, Banana Republic, Uniqlo, Madewell, Abercrombie & Fitch, all go on sale frequently if you are looking to buy new. Or better yet, don't be like me. Be intentional and buy one of something you'll have forever rather than 6 lessor versions of the same thing. Sometimes it takes some trial and error thought to figure out what that is. A Drakes Coverall Jacket or a Manresa Bittner, a Carhart, a Dickies, a Ralp Lauren Hunting Coat, a vintage J Crew Barn Coat, etc. Three pairs of Gap jeans or some selvedge denim from 3Sixteen. etc.

Non Slip Soles on Loafers
Thanks for the feedback. I had a meeting yesterday in another buidling, tile, marble floors, reminded me of water skiing in my youth. Had the unfortunate experience of seeing myself "walking" in reflection of a window. Looked like I was 94 years old with osteoporosis. HOWEVER, just taking them out on the streets did make a diff. I'll have to see how they break in, I may opt for the Topys for peace of mind. THANKS FELLAS.
