Buying my D a business casual wardrobe today

<p>MOWC—I am in the same boat. If your son is tall, the boys’ dept won’t work. </p>

<p>My swimmer wears a 40L jacket but 31/34 pants. Fortunately, he can get away with only a navy blazer and khakis as finding a suit will be difficult. I checked the Brooks Bros outlet but they couldn’t find their athletic cut suits that should offer the significant drop UCB referenced above. (I do need to find out for a Sept interview so will be on the lookout.)</p>

<p>Hoping to avoid having anyone iron, I have broken down and paid the high price for BB no-iron, slim-cut, button down dress shirts. He wants button down collars, not spread, so that has made this hunt even more challenging. They sell 15/15.5 -35.</p>

<p>J.Crew sells slim cut but not no-iron slim cut shirts. (They sell highly wrinkled shirts…must be a look.) Vineyard Vines dress shirts are HUGE—way too much fabric. Ralph Lauren outlets have slim cut (they call them custom fit) button downs, but they are not no-iron. </p>

<p>That has been the extent of my research. The off-the-rack BB blazer is too wide through the body but I am going to ignore it as I think it will hang on the back of his chair once he is in the office. </p>

<p>UCB—my husband tried made-to-measure a couple of times and was never happy with the final product. He is now a happy BB no-iron shirt wearer but he doesn’t want the slim cut so much easier to fit.</p>
