So I know nothing about men's suits. But I do know that the ones that husband wears, albeit custom made by Needle King, make him look old and dowdy. I'm guessing it's not really the tailor's fault but the fact that my husband may be picking what he views as "standard" suits which are boxy and plain. (For instance, they usually have three or four buttons and pleated pants.) He wears a suit every day to work, and I wanted to get him at least one suit that was sleek and stylish.
A couple things to note - he's not a skinny guy (5'11", 190 lbs) but he is losing weight and that's also part of the reason I want him to get a new suit - he's starting to swim in the ones he owns. Most of the guys I see wear slim tailored suits are thin but I'm confident he can still pull it off.
I poked in his closet and the only suit with a size tag says 44R, 36x30 pants. I'm guessing he's a size smaller now though, considering his weight loss.
Any suggestions on suit brands I should look into for a guy that size that has a modern tailored fit? I typically buy things on Ebay, CL, etc so I'm looking for brands that are higher retail but can found at a steep discount ($300 or so?) on those sites. Is that the best route or am I better off waiting for Needle King to come back from Thailand or go to another online custom tailor?
Thanks for your help!
