Hi guys, new here - looked around for a thread that specifically discussed what I was looking for and couldn't find anything so decided to start this thread.
A bit of a background - I'm a pretty slim guy: 23 yrs, 5'11, 135lbs. I usually wear 36R and depending on the brand, it fits okay (Bar III was the best fit I had but didn't like the quality of the suit).
I've checked out J. Crew, Bonobos, Indochino, and SuitSupply online and I don't really know what to get. My most important factors for purchasing are quality and fit, as I'm sure is for everyone. I'm not looking for the most up-to-date fashionable thing, but I'd like it to be some what trendy.
There seem to be mixed reviews on each of the brands I discussed above (J Crew not worth the price for quality, Suitsupply made in China, etc) so I wanted to have a thread that discussed modern suits in general.
In summary, which brands should I be looking at to get the best quality and fit for my size (Brooks Brothers won't work). I'd say my budget is about $750 for a 3-piece. I'd like to stay under $500, but I know that won't happen if I want something good.
I hope I didn't miss any vital information but if I did, I'll be happy to provide it.
