If they allow golf shirts then Calloway is my favorite. I have to shop at Big and Tall stores, and most of them have shit for inventory, but The Foundry was like heaven for a big guy like me. Unfortunately, they have closed their stores, and have been absorbed into JC Penney. I haven't been yet, but I imagine they will have the same stuff. My point being that you may be able to find regular-sized Calloway golf shirts at JC Penney, too. They aren't cheap ($80-ish per shirt), but worth every penny, especially if you can get them on sale. I love buying shit online, but be careful, because even what appears to be the same style of shirt and the same size, may not fit the same. Always best to try them on.
As for pants, I like most of the brands offered at Dillard's. Daniel Cremieux, Roundtree and York, Perry Ellis, etc.
Good luck!

Originally posted by Big A View PostYeah, some companies do tend to hand that title out like halloween candy.
By the time I was laid off from GE (Citi sold us to them) I was a VP there too. District Sales Managers were all VP's. I remember giving my card to a client once and he said "Oh, another VP.. Are all of you guys VP's over there?".. Yep!
VP titles there didn't mean much until you hit Senior VP or Executive VP.

This whole conversation really makes me glad to be in the industry I am. Dressing up means jeans instead of shorts, and a polo instead of a T-shirt, and that's only if it's for a client meeting.
Being in a creative field means that I actually get points for being a 40 year old man with earrings instead of being looked at as a dirtbag. lol
All that said, I do appreciate nice, expensive things, but more on a conceptual level. The important, daily use things (technology, for example) get money thrown at them. Otherwise it's more about comfort, and it's fun to dress like a 15 year old.

They also quit letting us drink in the office last year.. I miss that. It was nice to be able to have a cocktail towards the end of the day.

All of our other offices (Houston, NY, Toronto) are Business Casual, so some of the senior leaders have been pushing to change us to it as well, but we have been resisting. My boss (in Houston) did tell me no more shorts a couple months ago.. I was bummed about that.

Jeans, polo, and sneakers here and it's nice. I was full suit and tie everyday at the gig before this one and it blew. Buying 3 suits for a gig that lasted 6 months sucked even worse ... fuck that place.Last edited by slow99; 10-21-2015, 11:26 AM.Originally posted by davbrucasI want to like Slow99 since people I know say he's a good guy, but just about everything he posts is condescending and passive aggressive.
Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.
