Where to buy first suit?

Those outlets are expen$ive. Not worth it.

Belt- Get a leather belt. The rules for men still demand that your belt match your shoes (unless they are grey- or white, Never wear white shoes and a matching belt, unless you are in Florida.) If you can find a reversible belt (black leather on one side, brown leather on the other), grab it! A square or rectangular buckle is preferable, but not mandatory.

In regards to belts, I have noticed that many department store belts, in the $20-$40 range are junk.
I bought 3-4 of these, some name brands, from Kohls to Nordstroms.

The ones I got looked great, but were cardboard with thin leather coverings.
Lasted almost 1-year each and were noticeable worn after 3-4 months.

I had to go to a gunshop, like Jensen Arms, in Loveland, the get a 'solid' leather belt that looked like a dress belt.
I've had it for 6 years...still looks like new, and I wear it almost every day.
