I've been reading many of the threads here, and some other sites online. I'm 22, and looking to buy a first suit. I'm fairly tall at 6'2, but pretty skinny as well.
I've tried on a few suits at different stores, and they all fit fairly different as could be expected. Off the rack, a ralph lauren black label fit me pretty well. A boss suit at nordstrom was a bit boxy on me, as were the brooks brothers suits I tried on. Many of the slimmer fitting suits from boss and brooks brothers that were shown to me had pinstripes, and from what I've read pinstripes aren't recommended for tall skinny people. Brooks does have a good sale right now though (2 suits for 1500) which is essentially the price of one black label suit.
The staff at the different stores say they will adjust the clothes to fit me, but I'm unsure if bringing in the sides so much would change the shape and look of the suit itself causing it to not look right. Although the black label suit is the best fitting, I'm unsure if it's worth paying the higher cost when I will certainly gain weight within the next 10 years and may no longer fit in it.
Any advice is appreciated.
