Hi, having found this forum and done several searchs I'm stuck and would greatly appreciate advice from veterans of men's clothing from you experts.
I've recently graduated from college and was hired at one of the big companies on Park Ave (not naming which for security sake). I went to the interview with a sad looking old suit from century 21 that was tailored in the city by a tailor I chose because of distance. He was relatively close but the suit just doesn't look very good on me. I also have several banana republic jackets namely 3 that I had purchased on sale for about 100 some odd dollars each many moons ago. 2 of those jackets have no matching pants and I scoured banana republic to find matching pants for them, however it seems like production for those pants has long since been phased out. My banana republic jacket measurements are 46R, the pants 38x30. My brooks brother measurements for shirts are 17 neck and 33 arm.
One of the banana republic jackets has matching pants however the jacket that matches those pants don't seem right. The sleeves are just too long. Is there any way to fix this?
Would it be better for me to find a tailor to make pants for those 2 other jackets, or somehow get rid of them? They still have tags on those 2 jackets.
I need a new wardrobe for work, preferrably about 4 new suits that I'm willing to spend about $1000-$1200 (college student) on. I don't think I can get into the bespoke range for that. Do you guys have any recommendations on what I should get? Should I get them off the rack and have them altered or should I just have them made to measure from Mr Neds or something? Or any other tailor recommendatoins?
I work in a very conservative environment so is it possible to also get some color recommendations for my new suits? I've always fancied the type of suit worn by Michael Scott the character on The Office the US version, but I'm not sure what style that is.
Any help/advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
edit: I'm in the NYC area.
