Hello SF! This is my first post and thread so I apologize if I do anything noobish but I have been reading this forum for the past week since I found out I will be needing a suit for my friends sisters wedding in may. I am 22, 5'9 , 160lbs, athletic build and wear a 40R(maybe 40SH but thats still up in the air) with a 32 waist usually and I am looking for a navy, not dark blue, suit. I say this is my first real because I have owned suits in the past for college interviews and stuff but now I am in the working world and want an adult suit. I am looking for a half-canvassed or full canvassed suit in a slim style but my current budget is $500-$1000 depending on home much I really want said suit. I live around chicago and for anyone who lives around here might know I went to oak brook mall today to check out some suits at various places. I visited nordstroms, nieman marcus, mark shale, and brooks brothers. I don't like Macy's selection so I skipped it. Nords had nothing I liked in my price range. The sales person showed me a hugo boss suit that looked very cheap and was $500 also a Joseph Abboud which was $800. mark shale showed me a jack victor suit in a great blue color but even though the shoulders fit everything else was just too big. BB had my favorite choice which was a 1818 fitz on clearance for $590. it was the nicest of everything in my price range, at least to me. Only issue was that it was pinstripe and I really want a solid navy. At nieman marcus I just gave up on finding anything in my price range and tried on a zegna for the hell of it. amazing suit but well out of my range. I have looked into MTM like thick as theives. I know GS is a member here and people seem to like the suits but the issue with me is idk if I want to do an online MTM for my first suit. Another issue is since I have a time frame, waiting for sales is going to be hard to do. Anyway that is my experience. Can anyone help point me in a good direction to go? EDIT: http://tinyurl.com/4r3xh89 this is the stripe navy BB fitz I had mentioned
