You ain't seen nuthin till you've been to a funeral in Cullman County.

Have several suits and sport coats and my dry cleaning bill is more then most other bills.

Buy a Blue Blazer and pair of khaki and and a pair I of gray slacks. 1 white button down and 1 light blue buttondown, long sleeve of course and you 4 different outfits that are very respectable.

I only wear them to funerals I'm a pallbearer in. When I die I want everyone in normal clothes drinking cold beer they can cremate me and throw me in a pretty hardwood bottom and I'll be good.

I've got both - wear both for work, but mostly sports coats.

I just don't get it. I swear all my suits feel as good as my camo clothes or my jeans. I have all my suits altered so they fit that way. I've never had a suit fit right straight off the rack. And I swear nothing, and I mean nothing feels as good as a well fitting suit. If you ever get one, you will know what I mean. If the suit fits right, you shouldn't even realize you're wearing one. A tie shouldn't be so tight you can't breath or feel constricted. It's all a matter of getting the right size. That means looking for numbers for the neck and sleeve length instead of just capital letters.

Great post, Doc, and you're right.



Would be nice if more folks did this with a pot of gumbo and good friends and avoided all the tear-jerking, and indeed had a celebration of life instead of "My Eye Is On The Sparrow" being wailed by leisure-suit Larry standing over a $2,700 casket.

I wear a tuxedo more than a suit. I always feel like James Bond when I put mine on. Bought one last year and hope I stay the same size for a while.

Go to JOS A BANK outlet in leeds. For the same price as department stores, but better quality.

In my opinion, if you get a dress shirt that fits good, especially in the neck and arm length it goes a long ways towards making you feel more comfortable. Most country boys like me don't have a "normal" size neck and it ain't going to button up top without a hell of a fight. I don't mind wearing suits and sports coats, but I'll spend a little extra and make sure they fit and have the store custom fit them like Doc said above. Makes a huge difference.

Unfortunately, you're right about the Cullman Co. thing. SMH!

Then lube up your butt hole for them to rape you on alterations.

X2 I went hog wild and added a light blue shirt and another tie to that formula. Got a pair of black socks, black dress shoes, and a black dress belt. Job interviews, weddings and funerals. Retired now, so no more interviews, but too many funerals. I used to run with a fast crowd--live hard, die young.

I have at least a hundred ties and probably 14 suits and assorted combos with sport coats. It is expected in the ministry.

Not always farmer. My preacher only wears ties to funerals and weddings. He always wears a sports coat or suit. Just no tie.

Are the alterations at belk free?

Belk doesn't carry big and tall sizes.
