Budget <$500 OTR staple suit for regular wear & tear - which brands today have high armholes?
I'll be getting MTM from SuitSupply in a few years, i.e. when I have more financial security & income. Their cheapest suits are still a bit more on the pricey side, and AFAIK their sale discounts aren't very significant? I'm willing to wait for sales. I just want to be able to grab one...- epic raccoon

Budget <$500 OTR staple suit for regular wear & tear - which brands today have high armholes?
I'm a bit of an Anglophile :) Unfortunately I was hoping more for advice specific to New York, i.e. the opposite of your post :p I kid. Thanks for the advice, and for introducing me to a new English brand. However, without free return shipping (or free shipping at all?) to the United...- epic raccoon

Budget <$500 OTR staple suit for regular wear & tear - which brands today have high armholes?
Thanks. I neglected to list online vendors because I'm unable to try them on, but Spier & McKay seems to offer free return shipping for US customers on the first suit. Again, since quality isn't a high priority, I'd love to get more suggestions & input on other brands!- epic raccoon

Budget <$500 OTR staple suit for regular wear & tear - which brands today have high armholes?
Background: I've been thrifting and discount shopping ever since I came across SF seven years ago. Unfortunately my proportions are very unusual, so the few suits I do own are thrifted, and most of them are falling apart by now. So for once, I'd like to buy a brand new suit for myself...- epic raccoon

I have a $100 Macy's gift card. What should I spend it on? (NYC In-Store or Online)
BTW I live in NYC so I can go to the flagship Macy's Herald Square where they carry some nicer things such as a select few Allen Edmonds models (I'd be better off buying them elsewhere though). I am DESPERATELY in need of a new pair of shoes that fit me; I'm around a 7.5-8.0 E/D split width...- epic raccoon

The (hopefully) definitive thread on NYC tailors
I'm somewhat new to NYC and began my career not too long ago, so I'm shopping for entry-level MTM suits or OTR + alterations. Ideally I'd rather not spend any more than $500 because these will be "stopgap" suits which I only need to last me about two years of semi-regular wear. I have very...- epic raccoon

Cheap MTM Suits & Shirts in NYC - Indochino? Looking for insight/advice!
Thank you. That's exactly the sort of information I was hoping to gather; I was just hoping that it'd be from people who have gone through the measurement process via the physical Indochino location in NYC, rather than online. My thinking was that by eliminating the addition of another...- epic raccoon

Cheap MTM Suits & Shirts in NYC - Indochino? Looking for insight/advice!
I'm aware of this fact, but was hoping it'd be a bit easier than it is... Because I need a solid coloured suit. :( As I mentioned previously, I have been thrifting for years (as well as discount shopping) where it's usually everything but the staples. I own a number of subtle...- epic raccoon

Cheap MTM Suits & Shirts in NYC - Indochino? Looking for insight/advice!
Perhaps I'm being overly optimistic and hoping that there have been in-store experiences suggesting something better than what I've been reading about their online MTM services. Right now I simply can't justify any more than $400-500 on a suit, but at the same time I have been making do...- epic raccoon

Cheap MTM Suits & Shirts in NYC - Indochino? Looking for insight/advice!
I have the latter. I've spent many months looking for a dress shirt that fits me well, but there's always something off. Once you factor in the cost of alterations, the total sometimes exceeds MTM. On top of that, solid colours aren't as easy to come by when you shop discount stores, and...- epic raccoon

Cheap MTM Suits & Shirts in NYC - Indochino? Looking for insight/advice!
How long ago was this? I recall Indochino being very trendy and ridiculous when it first launched years ago, but I was under the impression that they've improved. Regardless, if they can last me two years, and I can customise them so they're more on the conservative side of trendy, I'd be...- epic raccoon

Cheap MTM Suits & Shirts in NYC - Indochino? Looking for insight/advice!
I'm sorry, I should have clarified: I understand SF's idea of "reasonable" is considerably higher than that of the average population (which I love!) but what I'm looking for is a "stopgap" suit that fits well, and doesn't make me sweat (i.e. summer fabrics and partial or no lining). I'm...- epic raccoon

No worries at all! You bring up very cogent points, and I've been around long enough to understand it as well. :) After reading your reply I realised that, having not been on SF recently, I left out a key piece of information: quality isn't as high of a priority right now. I'm still in...- epic raccoon

Ahem. I have been around SF for years, and I'm excellent at research :p The trouble here is that SF users tend to be a bit, how should I put this...quick on the draw? I mean, I can sympathise. I'm a regular on a number of online communities, where, in spite of sidebar/navbar links...- epic raccoon

Are there any feasible alternatives whatsoever in the sub-$500 price range? Yeah, no idea where they were going with that. Their marketing seemed pretty ****** when they first came out though.- epic raccoon

Cheap MTM Suits & Shirts in NYC - Indochino? Looking for insight/advice!
Hey all, after years of thrifting I've finally decided on expanding my wardrobe with a few key MTM pieces. Unfortunately OTR is out of the question due to my specific requirements; in particular, I tend to sweat a lot and do not take well to heat and humidity (read: polyester is a dealbreaker)...- epic raccoon

Lining Material - Lauren Ralph Lauren Linen Sport Coat?
I recently purchased this linen sport coat from Macy's. I've tried looking everywhere and cannot determine what fabric is used in its lining. It would be a shame if it's polyester--I already sweat like crazy and that completely defeats the purpose of buying a linen sport coat for me. I can no...- epic raccoon

square toed shoes
Square-toed shoes are generally indicative of cheaper (read: crappy) construction in leather shoes. But for some reason, designers decided they looked nice and started incorporating them into their designs.- epic raccoon
