I live in Hawaii so we get by with aloha shirts, but for the next two years I'll be working in Japan where I definitely will need a suit.
I'm not too familiar with what to look for in a suit but there's a CK and BR Outlet here and my friend also can get 50% off BR (but non sale stuff) for me.

I'm broke so I can't afford too many suits, in fact I'm thinking of only having two.. it seems that in Japan dark colors only for winter, grey for summer. The suits there also seem slightly different in style.. there seems to be little or no shoulder padding.

I'm willing to spend up to $400 tops for one.

which is better between the two for an every day wool, 2 button suit?

If those are the only two choices, I would take BR.
