According to this workplace poster from the 1970s, I suppose I do know what I'm doing! (Thanks Caroline!)

Is dry cleaning worth it?

I own eight of the same white Oxford shirts, five pairs of the same Levi's jeans, and always have two pairs of Jack Purcells in my closet.

Jian DeLeon writes about men’s clothing and wears men’s clothing, and he recently put together an INTERACTIVE GUIDE for Complex explaining how to  buy a suit—how it should fit, what to get tailored, what kind to buy.  SUITS. MEN IN SUITS. LOVE A MAN IN A SUIT. (I asked Jian some questions about suits, and he answered them.)

LS: How many suits do you own? JIAN DELEON: I own two suits and a tux. And a lot more blazers/sportcoats.

LS: What are they? How much did they cost? JD: One is a charcoal grey J. Crew Ludlow Suit I got on sale for around $400. The other is a navy cotton Club Monaco suit I got for $300, also on sale. I spent about a hundred or so more getting them tailored to my liking—which any guy is going to need to do. The tux is this really crazy tweed tuxedo from this now-defunct label called “hickey.” One of the designers behind it, Aaron Levine, now does the men’s stuff for Club Monaco. I got it from Filene’s Basement of all places for a little over $300.
