You still basically answered my question though. Looks like I'll be grabbing a pair of English-made Doc Martys. Thanks!
Speaking of Martys:

Also, how freakin' slick are these:

UK Dr. Marten Langstons with a shiny black "petrol" finish. I could never pull 'em off.
No prob! The shiny ones are cute but imo they don't age too well - they look fabulous in pictures but once they get creased and worn, like good shoes should, they lose their luster and get kind of grody.
They look like wrestling boots IMO.
Well, sure, if the only other thing you're wearing is a Speedo.
I'd obviously be reppin' those with slacks.
I'm a groomsmen in an upcoming wedding. I don't own any suits but I'll need a black one. Any recommendations? Looking for a slim cut and I'm a 36s. I see Brooks Brothers has a buy 2 sale which I could utilize since I have two weddings in a row. Was also looking at the J.Crew Ludlow (if I can find on sale) or eHABERDASHER has one for $499. Otherwise this weekend I may hit up Nordstrom Rack for sales.
If you don't wear suits all day and just need one in a pinch.
Men's Wearhouse or Jos. A Bank; those two always have Buy1/get1 or Buy 1/Get2.
But if you want a suit that'll last ... your options are better (ie: Brooks Brothers).
Finding a good slim cut suit can be difficult, it's good that you're starting your search early. Don't forget about H&M if you have one in your area, sometimes they can be helpful in the suit department for something that is modern looking and not too terribly expensive.
It's difficult? No it isn't. Club Monaco, D&G, Calvin Klein, Armani, BOSS, Hilfiger, John Varvatos (ESPECIALLY!), and LAUREN Ralph Lauren all give you amazing (!) slim cut suit options. You can get them in wool, tweed, or cotton. If you want a more affordable option, Club Monaco ain't bad but if you want even cheaper you can go H&M or Top Shop. The only limits here are how lazy the buyer feels or how poor he is.
If you get a slim lapel jacket, remember to get a small collar for the slim tie. I don't have one and I look a bit silly with my thin tie getting lost in the collar. I think wide-spread collars are the thing now, too.
I also forgot about Brooks Brothers. If they, the long-standing formalwear makers for older men, even know that slim is in for everyone pls blv every single fashion house has a slim suit option. And really, you cannot go wrong with Brooks Brothers now since they stopped making all their suits for your dad and started to focus on clothes for younger men. If you insist on a black suit, buy another one either navy blue (meh) or grey (a light grey and highly recommended) for some diversity in your wardrobe. Really, a black suit is for funerals. Any other occasion you should be wearing a different colored suit so you don't look like a drab motherfucker.
Unless, of course, you're punk as fuck and can make a black suit look like the most fashionable thing in the room. I doubt you are, though.
