Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for a bit now and this is my first post. I currently do not own a suit, but buying one has been on my mind for a while now. Some of my friends are starting to get married but even beyond that I just want to be able to suit up from time to time. My budget is right around $1500 and I have an idea of what route I'd like to go but having some input would be great.
This will be my only suit for a while most likely, so it needs to be pretty versatile. I'm pretty set on a grey suit with brown shoes, belt, etc. My current thinking is that I'd like to go something MTM from Suit Supply, specifically this one: http://www.suitsupply.com/shop/1.P3263/Suit?filter_27=736#. After a quick search for shoes I like both of these: http://www.zappos.com/to-boot-new-york-varden?zfcTest=fw:1 and http://www.zappos.com/magnanni-francisco-cognac?zfcTest=fw:1 (I've never heard of Magnanni before though, any thoughts on them or To Boot for that matter?). From there I just want to pick up a white shirt and I think for my first tie I'd like to go navy blue. Any suggestions on a solid shirt brand would be great.
That's pretty much the direction I'm currently envisioning. Would you guys do something different with my ~$1500 budget? Thanks a lot for the help!
