i know i know i know: y'all spend crazy money to buy the best of the best.
the coat you're wearing today is white panda. Hulk Hogan choked one out for you in China for your birthday. and it's reversible & the other side is bald eagle. and while we debate soy vs almond vs cow, you only drink the finest breast milks.
i know all that.
but indulge me anyway.
imma put up a dollar amount and an item and somebody comment on the best you can buy for that amount.
6. "Inch it up to the $400's and go to suitsupply" In response to Reply # 1
checking out the site now it looks like they've raised some of their prices accordingly, but it looks like you can still get a solid 100% wool suit for $400.
Outside of that, id wait for end of season online sales at shit like mens warehouse/macys...you can get an 'alright' suit for 100 bucks or so and you can spend another 100 on a real tailor to make it look like a million bucks.
35. "You can find decent Ralph Lauren ones between $300-$500" In response to Reply # 1
They have them at end-of-season sales once in a blue moon and also at Burlington Coat Factory. The ones I got were all under $500 even with alterations, two made in Canada, one made in Italy (!). All very nice quality and have held up great.

If I remember correctly. This was a while back. I have since seen one or two at the L.A. area ones but they are kind of ghetto, in outlet malls and need-to-be-renovated strip malls. The one in Philly was @ 8th and Market.

36. "Shop eBay for Jeans, you can get great deals" In response to Reply # 2
Got some $198 RLs for under $50 though they turned out to fit poorly. They have the $100-$125 ones for like $30-$40 pretty regularly, ask the seller for detailed measurements.

58. "It's a challenge (c) Kobe but with measurements it's pretty easy" In response to Reply # 41
I am used to asking for measurements and taking them from buying jerseys, I guess, as the sizing (particularly for hockey) is wildly inconsistent across eras and manufacturers. Same thing with jeans, I ask for measurements at the thigh, calf and waist, never steers me wrong.

>unless i'm just buying an exact copy of something i already >have.
I did this for years with the gap jeans I had and really liked that had a 36 inch inseam (good for wearing with heels) until the online overstock ran out a few years after they discontinued them.
I was getting them nwt yrs after gap stopped making them tho
there no longer exists a full sized car in that price range.

even then with taxes and stuff the out-the-door price is probably more and you get some shit with a manual transmission and windows that require a rube goldberg machine to move up and down.
even at that, 24K for a full size is pretty rare. i think even the camry is slightly more than that now, and that's been the best mid-sized value for a long time.

anyway and still will likely by over 24k out the door.

45. "Camry's, Accord's, Sonatas & the Passat are still under 24-25K" In response to Reply # 3 Tue Oct-27-15 02:09 PM by WarriorPoet415
at least to start. that's base model for the toyota and the honda.
The Sonatas and Passat's I think come with some decent options around that range.
If you mean full size as in big ass car/big body benz type of sedan, like the other posters said- dream on or go to the used car lot. ______________________________________________________________________________

49. "Those are all mid-size cars tho." In response to Reply # 45
Full size would be the Cadillac XTS, BMW 7-series, Mercedes S-Class, Audi A8, or the Jaguar XJ.
The Caprice based Impala, Buick Roadmaster, Cadillac DTS, and Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car are all full sized cars.

51. "Gotcha....some people say full size as in "not compact" though. " In response to Reply # 49
So that was my initial thought. I got a friend who has a corolla and wants to upgrade to a full size car in her words, but she's really referring to mid-size sedans.
and like i said in my post, the bigger cars are mostly out of that range.....thanks for pointing out specific models though. ______________________________________________________________________________

I realize they don't have anything right now, but it's apparently Meermin's eBay account (thanks JF and maybe a few other people on here) and they offer seconds with really mild defects and also brand new shoes that aren't styles currently offered at their stores or on their website at the moment.
$150 is a tough price point. Go up a little bit and you have more options.

the cole haan stuff even uses nike technology (nike owns them) such as air, zoom air and lunarlon foam. i find that kind of gimmicky, sometimes it works though. clarks use vibram and other such technologies, i find them to be very comfortable whether they are like that, crepe-soled and even some of the harder rubber soles.

internationally two one-way tickets is almost always a great way to pay 50% more, but domestically it can save you money. kayak even does it automatically sometimes ("hacker fares") but you can find even more deals by searching yourself.

everything is about appearing to be successful while being broke as shit.
Cop that $279-$299/month for a 3-series lease and split the rent on an expensive condo in a nice area of the city and you got yourself a $30k baller in the making.
