BS? Maybe nobody knows? It kinda sounds like a question that should be in the Men'c Clothing forum anyway.

Yeah, 119 clicks and no answers on an ambiguously-titled thread that should be in MC.

Oh noes!

I believe the shoes are ok if you need a starting pair (if you are a student, for instance).

catlettsl, This really should be moved to Men's Clothing. However, I'll try and be some help. I just bought an "Emanuel" by Emanuel Ungaro ventless 3B suit. I am very happy with it, mainly because the fit was pretty good for me and I paid around $150, which made it a great deal. The cut is fairly traditional. Pants were baggy and pleated, but I had my tailor slim them down a bit and the pleats didn't open up too much. Wool seems to be relatively soft, lightweight and of decent quality, though I'm no expert. If you like the look of the suit, can find it for a good price, and (most importantly) the fit is right, I say go for it. Alternatively, you could go the Thick as Theives route (http://www.thickasthievesla.com/). They do a more modern cut MTM suit which many around this forum are very happy with. Suits start at around $400 which might be a little more than you'd like to spend. However, even if you are on a tight budget (like me) you will still be getting a much better quality, better fitting and better value suit than anything OTR in that price range. This is what I would have done if I wasn't so time constrained to find a suit. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with Massimo Emporio.
