There was a scene like this in a Hardy Boys novel one time... they wind up with no clothes for some reason and they have to get Chet to pick them up (in his beat up old jalopy of course) and go into the store for clothes for them. He buys them matching outfits (fucking Chet...)

It's come back to me often since then, wondering whether I could give adequate info to have someone go into a shop and buy me a fit on spec and be happy with the results
