I'm looking to a light gray slim fit suit for a wedding coming up in September. Looking for a light weight material (wedding is in California) and plan on using it as more of a summer suit after the wedding. I really like the look of Steve Carell's suit in crazy stupid love (http://collider.com/wp-content/uplo...ovie-image-steve-carell-julianne-moore-06.jpg). I know its an Ermenegildo Zenga which is far too expensive to me and was looking for something in $500-$800 range. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try the Benjamin line (or a related model) from Wizard of Ahhs. $600 should get you a great suit if he has that color in stock. I think you can get Jeff's contact details from ebay (he has a store). I believe you can also get a better price if you mention this forum.

Corneliani mainline can be had for that. Very comparable to Zegna. Suit Supply is nice, but not full canvas

How is Ted Baker? I found a suit in their endurance line which is exactly what I'm looking for, but I'd prefer to buy a quality suit while I'm at it.
