Opinion on an interview suit.

i picked these up today(2 for 1 of course) in cordovan and black



along with a fitted white shirt and business blue shirt and a red tie and blue one.
 
Cordovan as in the color, or cordovan as in the leather is shell cordovan? I don't think Rockport offers shell, and if they did, no retailer in its right mind would offer it in a 2-for-1 deal. If so, let us know, so I can head down to wherever and get a pair :eek:
 
Reading this just makes me never want to work in a field where knowledge like this is required at all.

Yuck.

Best of luck with your suit.

Too dull (as in not shiny) to be cordovan leather.
 
I am extremely grateful Lee jeans, plain t-shirt and Nike's get me thru the day.

Guess I'm the only one around here who still rolls in Tuff-Skins.

the color, but they are shinier than the picture shows
 
I didn't read through this entire thread, so this may have already been said, .. but what a shame it is that who you are in an interview is not more important than what suit you are wearing.

:cool:
 
Just so I don't screw this up guys.......

I'm headin out for a pair of shoes. What color?

Serious. If you were going to get a pair of shoes that can pretty go with everything, what you going with?

Black goes with more pants than brown.

I guess that leaves dark brown.

Nice!!!

I'd sure hate for my career to get derailed before it really starts because I showed up wearing the wrong combination of colors.

Imagine a dark suit w/ black shoes? You would probably get FIRED in your interview for wearing that get up, huh?

When you think about it, there's really only three shoe color options for a white collar environment: black; dark brown; light brown.

The oxblood guys are going to be pissed! :laugh2:
 
I went on an interview yesterday for a lateral/non-lateral move ... Same position/title, but 15K more per year and a bigger company (top 3 in the industry nationally) with more room for advancement. I wore a grey three-button suit ... I got a call today for a second interview next week. So either, my three-button suit was good enough, or I just interview really freakin well haha.

Got it in the Charcoal/Black stripe.

and this one in Charcoal:

The first one was considerably less expensive than the current listed price. I caught it on one of their "deals of the day" when they only had a few colors and sizes. I went to check it out at a retail location here in town, and the pin striped black looks sharp. I asked the guy helping me out if it would be acceptable for a funeral and he recommended going away from anything pin striped, and it was more a business suit. They didn't have my size here, so we ended up ordering it online.
