Best Grey Suit?

Hello,

I am 18 years old, with a somewhat athletic build. I am toned and have some large muscles, but am far from a bodybuilder physique. My chest is about 37". 36S seems to be the best size. I have decided to pursue a career in acting and will be moving to Los Angeles in a few weeks. I'd like to get a great suit for my auditions. I am looking for a light gray suit. I have tried on many different suits and I have found two of particular interest. The first suit is a HUGO BOSS James Sharp suit. Fits great and not terribly expensive. The second is an Armani Collection S Line Suit and it's a little long, but I am in love with the look, feel, and texture of the jacket. I want something that tightly contours to my body. I am looking for the perfect suit. Both of these suits would probably do well, but I am looking for input from the community. Let me know if there are any incredible gray suits that are great quality for a great price. Or, even if there's a suit that incredible, despite a high price tag. Thanks!

If you want "the perfect suit" then bespoke is the only way to get it - and probably the second one. Content yourself with something that fits and, when you are playing leading roles in something or another go bespoke. No one will notice the difference the acting trade projects itself as very casual save when dressed by someone else for a production.
