Old Navy, sorry but no thanks, they are only maybe just a little step above Walmart.

Well I like Marshalls, it's OK if I get there early enough that the good stuff hasn't already gone.
Costco always seem to be selling Ralph Lauren polo shirts for $20, whereas in the store they are probably $70.

You can also get billabong, rip curl etc. I have 2 really nice button up shirts (rip curl) they were $8 each, back home $50 at least.
For jeans, work trouses and fleeces I go to Old navy, very nice cottons they have there....jeans are $25, if you go to the sale rail you can get them for 10 bucks.

There seems to be this big thing about setting up your own place, but if you don't mind living at home with your folks why should other people give you a hard time...

For the situation you described a nice pair of Farrah slacks would seem to fit the bill.

That reminds me, my old man is a carpenter, his fashion sense on "the work site" consisted of green army lightweight trouses with a purple button up shirt, a 4" wide leather belt and steel toe capped doctor martins?....a right lady killer that combo was!
