I apologize in advance for the length of this post. I'm looking to add a couple of suits for work to my wardrobe for about $500 each and I've been having a really tough time figuring out where to go. I almost bought some from Banana Republic, but after reading what people had to say about them on this board and elsewhere, I decided they were still too expensive even at 30% off. I know people around here seem to dislike Hugo Boss as well, but I bought a Hugo Boss last summer at an outlet mall and have been very happy with it. I'd definitely rather buy Boss than the stuff from Banana Republic. A 42R Boss jacket fits me almost perfectly and I can have the size 36 pants taken in to about the 33 waist that I need. Below I've listed suits I've been looking at on ebay. They're all Boss at this point because I don't really know what other brands to look at but I'd really appreciate any suggestions for alternative brands.
- I like this one because it's just a plain dark navy one which I don't already have.

- This one is just plain black, but my current plain black suit is really cheap so an upgrade would be ok. The problem is it's a 3 button.

- This one is a lighter grey suit. The color looks kind of weird to me for some reason though.

- Another grey one.

- This one is super dark blue. They have it listed at blue/black. If you read the posting, only the last 4 pictures are of the actual suit which I don't like. It's also not 100% wool like the others; it's 96% wool, 4% elastane whatever that means.

- This one is navy with blue and pink stripes. Even though the stripes are subtle, I worry about it not being as versatile as a plain navy suit. I like the look of it in the pictures though. I'm also not sure about the quality of the fabric since it just says "viscose blend".

Thanks again!
