Awesome article and video interview.

I was wondering if most MDs are decked out in the nicest wardrobe, but my meetings with some of them don't point to that.

Its crazy that some of the most successful people I have met on Wall St and in finance type jobs don't care how they dress.

True, but maybe I'm biased because I have prior experience in the menswear/clothing industry.

Square-toes (yes, I've seen an MD wear them) make me cringe.

 
yeahright:
MD on my floor literally wears a gray north face vest all day. always find it so funny

you probably work at a no-name shit shop with NO deal flow. MD, pssh, "yeah, right" ....

 

"Finance people are very detail-oriented and that doesn't translate into trendy labels,"

I agree. I'd rather spend the same amount of money on something custom than on buying a high-end off the rack item.

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis - when I was dead broke man I couldn't picture this
