Buy more warm tops in Boston if needed.  New England is a better place to buy sweaters than the DMV.

Above is the outline of a refresh of my inbound freshman's wardrobe for college.  His senior year wardrobe is almost worn out - not exaggerating.  He will be walking a lot at college [b]so hopefully won't gain weight and outgrow these things.[/b]  This core wardrobe should be good for 2 years minimum for temperate and cold seasons.[/quote]
Even if he does not put on fat, men keep growing wider through their early to mid-20s; if he didn’t gain weight in college, that would be a problem.[/quote]

PP. Understood. I just wanted people to understand my recos are nearly an entire head to toe wardrobe.  And we don't do this kind of massive buying every season.  My son likes loose clothes.  He should be fine.  His new black suit was purchased for prom.  He was borderline on the pant size so I bought an extra pair one waist size larger to protect the investment in the jacket.  Took a long time shopping to find a good fit at a good price.  Kenneth Cole Technicole from Macy's.[/quote]
