I know customer service rep @ Bank of America has to wear suit everyday. Do you work for BAC? Fidelity, StateStreet, Putnam Investments etc don’t have any dress code. Shirt and Pant is more than enough. Only Wellington investment has suit as their dress code.
Dress shirt and pants. No tie or jacket unless clients come in. Its pretty casual on the asset management side. Most bankers I know do suits every day…
FO (or client facing assoicate) wear suite everyday (as part of dress code) in my firm.

Eaton Vance has to wear a suit everyday too. No dress code = biz casual.
We are mostly dress shirt and pants, but when traveling, conferences or with clients in the office you need a nice suit.
Brooks Brothers are fine stuff. But if you really want to get ahead in the work finance, especially sales, get Eermenegildo Zegna…
How many suits do you guys own?

One day I went into Saks with my wife to browse, this good-looking English sales chick approached us to their suite collection, she must be into fashion, she said they had this great collection on sales, she said the brand name 3 times, I still couldn’t understand it, then my wife saved me saying that is the proper proannuncation of Eermenegildo Zegna. At that point, I was embrassed already. No wonder European thinks stupid American has no sense of fashion.

Don’t work in customer service and not at BAC. Same building as Welly. Suits every day.

It was most likely sent by the 1818 store at The Shops at Willow Bend and their phone number is 972-202-4616 or you could call your local store. In my experience the 346 stores generally cost as much as the 1818 stores. I think their ties may be a bit cheaper and there will certainly be more ‘sale’ items, but the slim fit dress shirts are the same price. I prefer the 1818 shirts because the sleeves are in whole increments and the 1818 32 sleeve fits my arm better than the 346 2/3.

I only have an outlet in my area.
I’m a 40-42L. The problem is that I take a pretty slim jacket, but the pants that go with them are usually don’t fit through my thighs, so unless I go seperates or MTM, they ussually only have pleated pants which don’t come with jackets that fit me very well and aren’t quite my style.
^ same problem. I am 42L. I have a fantastic tailor who takes in the suit pants and seat very well.

I only have an outlet in my area. An outlet is a 346 store and a retail shop is an 1818. If you’re at your local outlet chances are 90% of the labels in there will say 346, these products were specifically designed to be sold at the outlet. The products with labels that say 1818 were designed to be sold at a retail store and, for whatever reason, were sent to your outlet to be sold. I don’t have any BB suits so I can’t speak to the quality difference on that front, but as far as I can tell the 346 slim fit dress shirts are made of the same material and they definitely cost the same as the 1818 shirts. The two differences in dress shirts is that at the 1818 store the sleeve lengths go up to the nearest inch whereas the 346 stores go between inches and the 346 shirts have a button on the forearm whereas the 1818 shirts generally do not. So at my retail shop, or online, I can buy a 16 32 dress shirt which fits better than the 16 2/3 (32-33) sold at the 346 store. If you don’t have t-rex arms this won’t be as big an issue for you. Also the 1818 shirts generally only have one button at the wrist whereas the 346 shirts have a button at the wrist and another on the forearm (like most dress shirts do). There may be a difference in the quality of other products, I know the 346 ties are cheaper than the retail ties. You can sometimes find ties with a ‘Makers’ label at the outlet which I have found to be very nice.
In terms of suits, the biggest differences are 120’s fabric for 1818 vs 100’s for 346. 346 are also sold as separates, while 1818 are sold as suits. 346 will never be your #1 suit, but they’re typically 2 for $500 so they’re great for filling out the closet.
