John hates clothes shopping, and he’s difficult to find clothes that fit well and look nice on him. Hence, he had been wearing khakis with a white shirt and tie to church for several months. Finally, in December it could not be procrastinated any longer. He desperately needed a suit – his other one, like many of my clothes, had shrunk. So we started at a discount suit store in Stone Mountain where we had gotten some good deals previously. Nothing in John’s size. We tossed around a couple of other ideas, then decided to try Men’s Wearhouse. I really didn’t think they carried anything in his size, but it was worth a try. To our pleasant surprise, in less than an hour , we had picked out two suits, three ties, alterations had been measured and we were on our way home.
Last weekend was the annual Rockdale County Democratic Party Gala – a well-attended black-tie affair. John needed something to wear. Men’s Wearhouse to the rescue again in less than an hour. Actually about 30 minutes this time. We bought a tux shirt with tucks (a little play on words there!) with a silk bow tie and matching cummerbund. He wore them with his dark suit and it looked great! Unfortunately, no pictures :( Maybe next time.
