Well, you paid 150$(?) for a 70s poly blend suit. I can see if it's something to do with the size (unusually small), but in general you could have done much better.  

Actually, it's not about not having enough cash. It's about justifying to spend 200$-300$ on a pair of shoes that you're going to use at most 3 times a year, some times even less.    FWIW, we found a pair of mint J&M...

Can't see Oxxford here, but their suits are excellent, would put them right above BBGF. Own two Navy suits from both, that look identical, but the detailing and feel on the Oxxford is better. Two different fits though...BBGF is...

As mentioned by other, side vents are much better than single-venting. May not be 100% correct, but I wouldn't sweat it. Feels better when sitting down compared to non-venting, and the jacket won't wrinkle that badly.

Unfortunately I live in a very small town with no tailors, and living in Norway, I'd guess a job like that would cost at least 200$-300$ if I found someone. So my best option would be a re-cut, since the folks at blacklapel have very...

Got my suit today, I messed up the shoulder measurements. Somehow manage to type 18.5", and not 18". Do they look really off? Beating myself up over that mistake. Also, chest feels a bit roomy...42", but I have a feeling 40.5" would...

Got my suit from black lapel today, and to my horror i discovered that I had messed up the measurements on the site, pisses me off to end (triple checking everything from now on). The shoulders ended up 1/2'' larger. I'm 18, and...

Sadly, it's because when you're too dressed up, it makes you look arrogant. And customers/co-workers will feel/think that you're looking down on them.    Such is life in the corporate world, only the top dogs get to wear...
