I just bought new shirts a couple months ago. The short sleeves are made in China now also. :mad: At least the style I bought

The athletic cut (style 700) is made in the US...at least mine was (bought in late October.) Can't say about the others. Still, their quality and fabric seem better than most. FWIW

Because of Space, VF Solutions doesn't carry them anymore; I have been told by the ACPs office, (MF) that you can go to any department store and expense it with the company card. I would recommend checking that is still the case before doing so however.

Also, check your PMs.

My recently divorced brother made a date with a girl on one of those internet dating sites who described herself as having an "athletic" body. Turned out she meant defensive tackle.:eek:

"If" that's true (I have no way of knowing if it is or not?) then I was at Kohl's this morning. They have a very nice "Chaps" brand wool overcoat for $118 (before 20% cash back deal). So after the discount + tax = ~$102 for a pretty nice coat.

Disclaimer ... not sure if it was black or navy blue?

Chaps Charcoal Parma Overcoat
Nice looking coat, but only comes in charcoal... I've been looking all over for a navy one, can't seem to find one. If anyone comes across one, let us know. Thanks.

Flashing is frowned upon!

I highly recommend Tarpy Tailors in LAX. The brothers have sold the business to a couple of ladies. They sell an Elbeco brand shirt that is excellent. Their custom made uniforms are good but expensive. I think it's worth it since they fit so nice. Can choose light or heavy weight fabric. Tarpy's is approved vendor from Fedex.

I think the long wool trench coat has to be ordered from VF solutions in order for Fedex to pay. You might try Burlington Coat Factory or a private men's store and have them list it as a pair of shoes to get by the expense report Nazis.
