Although I have to admit to occassionally forgetting to remove the work clothes before going out to the garage, sometimes grease stains are not intentional. Like when you get out of the car and accidentally brush against that spare M42 motor sitting in your driveway. So having a cheap source of good clothes comes in handy. My clothes shopping strategy in a nutshell: Grab $30. Write your shirt size and jean size on the back of your hand. Don't write it on your palm. You'll see why in a minute. I'm a 33/34 & 15/34. Grab a burrito at the Mexican place at the corner of Bascom and Stevens Creek. Just next door there is a dive bar where you can get a follow=up tequila (or two). If you had written your size on the inside of your palm it would have washed off when you grasped the drink. Just next door to that is a off-brand GoodWill (not even a real GoodWill) that has jeans for $6 and shirts for $5. Shop till you drop, buddy!
