Stores / thrifting in DC? (also NYC)
I'm in Washington DC for work for the rest of the month, coming from the UK.
Are there any places worth checking out for general shopping or thrifting? I'll be pretty central.
Thanks
Edit: will also take NYC recs as I'm there for a weekend

mfpen sizing (setup blazer/ patch trousers)
Hi, I'm looking to get the setup blazer / patch trousers combo from mfpen but I can only source it from overseas so I want to get the fit right.
For tops/jackets I wear a Small in most brands but for the mfpen generous shirt I'm an XS, also in most current Our Legacy tops I'm a 44 (XS).
For bottoms I'm usually a 29W / 32L. 28 waists tend to be too small for me unless it's proper vanity sizing.
With this info in mind can anyone with experience with the brand recommend which size I should go for with the mfpen jacket and trousers?
Thanks

Do washed jeans (i.e. non-raw) need breaking in?
We all know that raw jeans need breaking in but is this also the case for washed jeans? I just got some mid-blue weekday jeans that fit pretty well except the crotch is a bit uncomfortable, should I expect this to loosen up significantly?

Wool touchscreen gloves
My hands are cold but I need to text my pals.
Looking for some warm, wool, touchscreen capable gloves. Will consider price ranges under about £50 a pair but cheaper is better, it's just gloves I don't want to go wild.

Wide leg, cotton casual suit options?
I'm UK based
My old Uniqlo U black seersucker unstructured suit has been my casual suit for years but the seat of the trousers are finally giving out and I think it might be time to find a new one.
I'm after a matching trouser and unstructured+unlined suit jacket combo ideally in a casual fabric like cotton although I'm open to other options. Colour-wise I'm pretty easy, just no blue. I'm also looking to modernise the silhouette with wider (like >22cm leg opening), higher trousers and potentially a double breasted jacket.
Generally I'd prefer it to look a bit more refined than an Engineered Garments or Universal Works style suit. For instance, I like a front crease on the trousers and good sized lapels. That's not to say I couldn't be convinced otherwise by the right suit.
Anyone know good places to look for such things? I'll put like £800 as my max but lower would be nice, I am replacing a Uniqlo beater suit after all. Feel free to post more expensive stuff too, I'm looking for inspiration
