On a similar note, anyone interested in a Medium Karbon jacket? Worn a handful of times still like new.

OP thinks a new set of 4 shirts and a pair of pants every 9 months is excessive? LOL

Think you might have me confused for a female

I feel bad for anyone who wears the vendor's uniform. Trash product, feels and looks like trash.

I can’t find the same color pants to match the blazer anywhere so I wear the vendor pants and my own shirts

Even without the blazer I have taken the vendor pants to clothing stores and I can find any sort of wool blend pants that are even in the same color family. Navy most places pretty much doesn’t exist and when it does it’s not even close

Cut Above’s pants match fine.

Its the midnight navy option, get the poly wool blend. Nice quality for $65 and they will hem them to the inch for a lot less than your local tailor.

Exactly. Get a pressing cloth for the road and they don’t turn shiny for a long time.

I have had good luck with the pant clips on the hangers, clip them at the cuffs, hang in the closet, leave belt on for some extra weight, wrinkles are gone by the morning.

An interesting strategy. I might give that a try with some light steaming from the shower or an iron without pressing. I really, really don’t need to spend any more of my life sharpening creases or removing wrinkles.
