I need some well made solid color or muted pattern button downs. I'm looking and have found a few but any more suggestions or links in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hamilton gets my vote. They're pricey (near $200 for the 1883 line, off the rack, higher made to measure) but superb quality. I splurged and bought one, loved it so much I've now bought 4 more and thrown most of the rest of my dress shirts away. The 1883 size M fits me perfect which is nice.
Edit: and handcut and sewn in the USA.

@Jii:
Thanks, I'll try to sneak in there before I leave on sunday. I'm going to visit Loopwheeler anyway which is in the neighbourhood. I really hope they have crewnecks in my size there, SDA's largest was an M and OT&E did have lots of nice stuff but none in my size. I'm SO the wrong size for japanese shops.. Except for IH of course :).
Keep your fingers crossed for Loopwheeler, their indigo and heather grey crewnecks are beautiful!
i think you will like tenderloin. They are more generously sized than most japanese brands.

i have some normal sennhieser earbuds that go in like earplugs and even though they arent noise cancelling they work better for that specific purpose than the noise cancelling earbuds that i do own.

Klipsch S4 (my current ones) & Etymotic ER6is (had two pairs) are good for under $100. It really depends on how anal you are about sound. Once fitted (they come with different sizes & types of buds) they block sound out really well. The Klipsch are built a bit better and have lasted longer for me. Like I said, I use these things 6-10hrs a day. Both do a good job on planes. If you want to get into audiophile stuff, start looking at high-end Shures and think about custom ear molds. Stay away from the low-end Shures though, they have too many problems and don't last.

Just curious…I think these Beatle Busters are great and fit me better than other jeans I have ever tried on. It's tempting to want to purchase a second pair at some point. So do any of you own 2 of the same pair of jeans?
You could cop the SBG Busters when they arrive.. Unless you just want the same color, which doesn't really make sense to me..
