I talked to my dad and he is going to try and exchange the shirt at Kholes tommorow and get me a new one with an 18 1/2 inch neck. Then he is going to press it for me (my dad rules!). Sleeves were good on my other and the fitted actually fit well except for the neck. But I'm not going to go to Men's Wearhouse for a $100 custom fit shirt. I'll stick to the $20 form Kholes or whatever. But if I do look goofy all the guys at her school are a bunch of skinny nerds (aka all of our future bosses) so they won't say anything (until they are my boss). And all of her sorority sisters think I'm the greatest thing ever. Appreciate the info guys. Hopefully it won't be too big of a disaster.

best thing you can do is, if you have a few bucks to spend, go to men's warehouse or a similar store - some respectable store that sells suits.. find a hot chick saleswoman.. tell her listen i am clueless please help me and explain your situation.. i have dressed up my entire life but i still do that anyways.. i figure a couple of things - 1. a hot chick is going to dress you how she would like to see you therefore other hot chicks will dig you kwim? 2. it's pretty cool to have the complete undivided attention of a hot chick for 30 minutes even if it is just that she is a cheap and easy commission whore that will discard you like a used piece of trash once the sale is complete..

Double Windsor FTW! Try Marshall Field's (or Belk's) for the shirt. You can often catch a good sale there. If the jacket is okay but you are concerned about the slacks. You can get a decent pair for under $50 (Izod, Dockers,etc). Suit jackets are timeless for the most part but slacks can get dated and ill fitting. I'm mostly wondering about what you are planning to wear for shoes. I don't know how "formal" we're talking here but a nice pair of khaki slacks, a lt blue shirt, a nice tie and a black jacket should look decent. Get a decent hair cut/shoes and away you go!

Oh boy.... you are right up my alley. I've been working at a Casual Male so long, that I could size you by just looking at you.
What size tee do you wear, 1X or 2X? Odds are if he buys you an 18 1/2 the neck will be good, but you might have too much matierial around the waist if you are a 1X. If so, go with the better fitting 18 and buy a button extender, every shop has them..... and their like $2! And YES you need to button the top button! Also take into consideration your arm length. Are you a 35/36 or a 37/38??? You gotta be attentive to that, cause if you are wearing a suit, a shirt thats too short or too long ruins the look. Think i sell too many dress shirts???? ![]()

Oh, and for the tie- if you're a big guy, tie a double windsor. Google it. Anything less looks goofy if you have a big neck. ![]()
