Yup, very much for real.
They're basically single-use disposable suits. The quality really is dreadful. They wear them once just for the wedding, and that's usually it. Or the one of the traditions of Spring Festival is to wear new clothes, which sometimes means one of these very inexpensive suits for men.
Here's a friend of mine modelling his spiffing Laxdn of Guangzhou suit at his Hunan Province village wedding.
He only wore it the once, AFAIK it went in the garbage afterwards. Note it's rather shiny and has the "Laxdn" sleeve label still attached.

Palmtree, go to the Harry Rosen at First Canadian Place and pick up a suit from there.
They had tonnes of suits at a steep discount. Examples:
Ralph Lauren Black Label Solid Charcoal for $749 (this is a forum favourite; and they have a very aggressive cut like the suit ads you posted up)
Lanvin Solids for $1150
Zegnas for $1500
Tom Ford Solid Charcoal for $1850
Brioni's for just over $2k
But today is the last day of the sale, so move fast!!!

If you are going to get a back up - and I suggest that you should since the other suit looks gold and shiny - other options in Toronto besides Tom's is Harry Rosen outlet in the Heartland Town Centere in Mississauga. As with all outlets it's hit or miss but you could likely get a nice Samuelson suit for $500-600. Skip the BR Monogram.
BTW - congrats on the wedding - you will just be arm candy for the bride. The only standard you have to meet is to try to not look ridiculous -if so, no one will care what you are wearing.

Where are the stylish man in China? The ones I met over UK dress very nice. I can imagine the norm mainlanders is that bad.
Anyway, look like your friend enjoyed the night, even forgot to remove the tag

They're mostly in Beijing and Shanghai driving BMWs.
Probably because they're wearing Kiton, Brioni or Zegna, along with Ferragamo or John Lobb shoes. My friend is a school teacher in a Changsha primary school.
I was a very good night. Don't think we got up the next day.

Hi everyone...
I got a bespoke suit made last month, and I got it today.
I've got to say that it's too snug/baggy for my taste. Here are some pics, and I am sure you guys will probably agree that everything has to be heavily altered? I am 511", 170 lbs, and the suit makes me look fatter than I really am...!
The clothes look too loose or baggy on you. It certainly helps to bring along a picture of your desired style tailors do welcome images so they have a better grasp at the kind of style you're going for.

too big and loose for your frame, maybe just stick with a 2-piece suit.
