I'm in the market to upgrade my $100 + tailoring JCPenny suit that I've had for almost a decade to a "real" suit. I'm going to wear it for an event the night before my wedding but would also like for it to be my regular suit for everything else. I don't have any other suits except I plan on getting one custom made in Vietnam while I'm there for my honeymoon.
I'm interested in a solid, navy suit and have a budget in the range of $1k - $1.5k / $1.6k with some wiggle room. I don't wear suits that often but do have quite a few weddings coming up that I'd wear this suit to. I like a more modern fit especially since I'm fairly lean but want to avoid the super slim, "trendier" look that I've read some of the Suit Supply sales people push.
I've narrowed it down to a few options:
I believe all are full canvassed except the J. Press doesn't specific on site. I feel like I've read The Armoury having the most consistently high reviews. I couldn't find many recent reviews / posts on Reddit or Styleforum for Sid Mashburn & J. Press suits. Are there any major differences between the suits in my list or are they fairly comparable and I should just go with the one that fits me best both from a fit & lifestyle perspective? I live in NYC and my deadline is to have something ready by early April. I've looked at No Man Walks Alone but nothing in my size / a little pricier for MTM and may go check out Todd Snyder. Any other good suggestions for places to check out? Some other on my back up lists are Paul Stuart, Alan David, and Martin Greenfield.

I've narrowed it down to a few options:
- Sid Mashburn No. 2 - $950
- Sid Mashburn No.3 High Twist - $1,595: is there a large difference between the 2 & 3 that I may as well go with the No. 3 here? I'll know more when I visit in person but wanted to get some opinions.
- JPress Navy Solid - $1,100 (they have one on sale for $896 but not sure if that suit is different than this)
- The Armory Model 3A Navy - $1,500 I'm leaning towards this one based on other threads here
