Hey, I've been dressing as well as possible for a long time, but within my budget constraints that meant a lot of OTR Prada and Paul Smith and RLP and I've decided to try to get a first-rate OTR suit, hopefully with a lot of bargain-shopping and for under $1,000.
I'm 6'2", thin, dark, and just starting a career as a lawyer. I'm looking for a navy suit, I think-- my only other one is a Tom Ford YSL I bought in NYC ages ago and it doesn't really fit anymore.
I want something that fits well, and that's fairly conservative and timeless with the best construction and materials I can get for the money.
Looking at Kiton and Brioni on eBay, there's not much within my price range except a couple of three-buttons-- particularly this one which I feel may work as a 2-roll-3, but I don't know.

Anyone have any advice/thoughts about a good way to go? I'm pretty excited that I can be making decisions to develop my professional wardrobe for a whole career, rather than just buying things I like and that I may not like in 3-5 years. I just bought a pair of EG Chelseas to this end, as well.
Thanks!
