    ***Going custom= Christmas complication***

    Every year from Christmas I have enjoyed getting clothes from my family members. I have a couple brands that the people who know me well know that I enjoy. I've looked forward to opening new shirts and jackets from my family over the years. But now... everything is different. Earlier in the...

    $500 Navy Suit

    Just an update**** Some encouragement. I should have updated ages ago, But in September I broke down and had a suit made from scratch. I called around several local tailors for pricing. I got a hold of one tailor who said his cheapest suits start at $800, but he had an overstock of a certain...

    Suit critique- with photos

    Depends on how you define wasted. I am someone who 'needs' to wear a suit maybe 10 times a year, if that. I have tons of time, and I have rather enjoyed learning more about suits than I have ever known before by subjecting myself to this process. Thanks for the advice on going with the brooks...

    Suit critique- with photos

    Hey guys, I really appreciate all of the feedback. Sorry for the delayed response. Yesterday I was in travel, and today my wife and I start our 7 day stay in Aruba, so I am a little out of touch at the moment. Also, I know the pictures suck. My wife took them on my phone in a spare junk room...

    Suit critique- with photos

    The pants haven't been hemmed. And no other alterations have been made. I didn't want to cut the threads because I didn't want any excuse from them to not take the return. Surely there will be enough info here based on brand reputation and other deduced info for someone to give their opinion on...

    Suit critique- with photos

    Hey guys. Looking for your opinion on how I did buying this suit. This is with no alterations so its not too late to return it. I was about to pull the trigger on a suit from suitsupply.com but I went to a saks off fifth and saw this suit from zegna. Originally 1200 I picked it up for 450. It's...

    $500 Navy Suit

    I just looked on the web site, and it looks like that price is for the jacket only, and the trousers are another $178.

    $500 Navy Suit

    Yeah. The 346 is the suit that is carried at the outlets, and it is to be avoided. But what's the deal with the suiting essentials that is on sale for $420?

    $500 Navy Suit

    Thanks guys- As part of my search I tried on the Banana suits. I was actually pretty impressed with them for my purposes. There's no way i'd pay full price. However, there was a 30% off coupon code around mothers day that almost got me to pull the trigger before I decided that for just $100...

    $500 Navy Suit

    ***Just posting my update on my quest for the sub $500 navy suit. Two days ago I got my suits from J. crew in the mail. The fit is Thompson. This was a failure. I consider myself very modern, but the button stance was hilariously low and the waist suppression was out of control. The return...

    $500 Navy Suit

    Thanks so much for posting this advice. While this seems like a great option for the money, it isn't quite as modern as I'd prefer. However, with the option of just returning it is very low risk to try. Cheers.

    $500 Navy Suit

    Depends on the cut but usually I fit in a 39r. Some 38s are a little small and some 40s are a little big. What do you have in mind?
