Some people have suggested garage sales; the last couple of weeks I've gone to 20 or 30 and I haven't seen much, if any, men's clothing. Tons of clothing for women or children, but very little for grown men. Can somebody explain that to me?

"High-end" thrift stores are a good place to look, especially the places that separate out the premium stuff in a particular area. Some Salvation Army stores do that. I scored a ~$150 suede leather jacket in perfect condition for $40 bucks in the premium section of the SA a couple of weeks ago.

Stores that sell overruns and end-of-season surplus fashions are a great way to go, because they often have the best brands at 40-60 percent off. But their stock varies week by week, and to do well by them you have to come back every so often to see what's there, as at a flea market. I like Ross Dress for Less a lot -- never pay more than $15-20 for a new, name-brand men's dress shirt or for name brand slacks or jeans -- but you don't have them in Ohio. I'm sure you've got something like that, though.

Of course, if you want _real_ traditional clothing, go with Ben Davis :-)
