Good deal on suit?

DGP · Jun 19, 2006

So I was in a Neiman's Last Call in Florida, and found a Paul Smith London line suit that accidentally had the "extreme" discount stam on it, and was $129.50. I know they sure ain't worth the $1,295 they go for, but this seemed good, lol. And though I'm usually only a 40R, they cut these so small that the 42L (only size they had) actually seemed to fit nicely (big in the waist, which is easily fixed), and a tad longer than I usually buy my suits, but still good. I figure I'll put another hundred bucks into it, and it'll be damn near perfect. Oh, it's navy with stripes (blue and white) and high two-button, with flat-front pants.

Wow good price. They tend to be fashion-forward, so that means you were smart in spending such a low amount on it. It's probably not a suit you'll be wearing 15 years from now.

Yeah, but the 20 times I do get to wear it makes it the cheapest rental in the world

. I only wish they'd made that mistake on the rest of the stock, there was a cool black one with light brown stripes on it as well, but that was still over $500. Not worth it, IMO.

How important is full vs half canvas to you for heavier sport jackets?

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric

Depends on price
