two pairs of dress socks...
an old jewish men tee shirt
and a Brooks Brothers tux for $60. not my favorite, but good enough while I take my time and get something made bespoke.

The link is a *very* extensive list of MTM and bespoke tailoring you can get in NYC.
J. Crew and Todd are good on sale but I wouldn't pay full price for tailoring from either.
Buck Mason's structured stuff is better. You can get a cotton suit from them for ~$600, or you could get a super unstructured suit for like $350... I'd recommend the former. Suitsupply and Grand le Mar are good values, but not good at unstructured stuff.

🕴all the off the rack suits on the high street don't last, in-between the trouser legs gets all worn and fluffy, the materials are often polly blend or have a weird shine to them. i'd recommend searching for vintage suits on eBay or vinted of your local charity/thrift stores and then just taking it to the dry cleaners so it's fresh for the big day. then you can find cooler fits too like double breasted jackets, wide lapels, weird patterns, high waists and so on.

🥰I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit.
I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

👘for a while, when I wanted something expensive, I would think to myself, "oh, let me just look for a cheaper version of it." I end up settling for something that isn't good in any of the ways that made me want the expensive version.
Throw that out. You can get fantastic pieces for cheap, you can thrift a wardrobe you love, but if you're trying to find a cheap copy of something expensive, it's not going to work.
