Thanks a lot for all the great responses. The more of this feedback I get, the better my results will be. It will take me a while to really get into this thing properly. The idea of a turtleneck or jeans will take some time and may never happen. The images I have in my mind are not good on those. Besides, a turtleneck + California = really fraking hot.

On the other hand, I think the sportscoat will be easier now - I will know it when I see it (and perhaps post a picture) but the pants might be tougher. Good stuff all around.

Jorgelito - Good stuff. In fact I recently changed my hairstyle and like it a lot. I have a great gal who does my hair and I have to say to anyone who still goes to Supercuts or the like: stop. Go somewhere where there are consistent results and professional haircutters. While there might be the occasional diamond in the rough, you won't get the same thing twice. Facial hair - can't do it. I mean literally. I went six months once and had nothing more than a few patches. It looked like crap. I wish I could grow a goatee or something. No dice.

Dress Shoes - I should write a guide for here. I actually meant - how to choose shoes that went with a sport coat and whatever pants we had.

Finally - your advice on jeans is pretty good. I would say that the same logic can be applied to Men's Warehouse vs. Nordstrom. There is a gigantic difference in the quality of the clothes. The twice yearly sale is actually quite a good deal. Go on a weekday afternoon / morning during the sale (take time off if you have to - it is worth it). You will get the full service Nordstrom is known for, but still get the great prices. Weekends during the sale are for the proletariat.
