    Hart Schaffner Marx suit advice?

    As for the article, it seems well written but who knows maybe he doesnt know. I wish they wouldn't have made suiting so convoluted but many things are, so it is what it is. I should also mention Suit Supply has said they use no glue at all. Do not know for sure if that is true but so far I...

    Hart Schaffner Marx suit advice?

    It is listed as half canvas and also confirmed by their customer service. When its ready from alterations I'll ask tailor if they can tell. When I got it in, it didnt feel fully fused but again Im no expert and Ive been told the best way to tell is to open it up. I'd put more weight on what the...

    Quality suits around 1k?

    I got this from Suit Supply online. Fits great, customer service online and in stores is so terrible! The quality and fit of the suit is solid though especially at the price point. Bonobos has some nice light weight stuff for the summer but I need to go in and check my fit again...

    Quality suits around 1k?

    Were all have different body types and for mine Armani styles in general work for me jacket and pants better/limited alterations. However, they are more limited in style, very safe/less bold. Some what over priced at MSRP/retail. I look into them more because of fit. Bonobos is something I will...

    Quality suits around 1k?

    Thank you for the replies and suggestions. I agree fit is key. Then finding the right balance of fabric quality, construction, quality of company, etc fall into the mix. Of course if I had an unlimited budget I wouldn't have to put as much effort and research to be a more informed buyer. I'll...
