Posted before but new name.
As a college student, I recently purchased a suit for interviews and sorority formals. I was on a tight budget (<$200) and originally looked at SF approved Target's Premium Merona line, but long story short I was forced to buy an Alfani suit on sale from Macy's at the last minute.
The suit fits very well and needed little tailoring, but the shoulders are a tad too big although they were the slimmest I could find out of any of the suits at the mall. I wear a 38R but I guess my shoulders are not very broad. Am I doomed to never find the perfect shoulder OTR? I heard that it's next to impossible and very expensive to slim down shoulders. Will I just have to save up and buy MTM or bespoke? Are there any brands that you would recommend that sell suits without too much padding for a college budget?
