I haven't bought suits in awhile. I bought Perry Ellis branded suits at Nordstrom a 30+ years ago and I thought they made good suits back then.

How are their suits now?

I remember them 30 years ago. Decent stylish mid level Department store garments.
I would never have considered them because I wore more traditional higher quality
clothing, although several of my colleagues did.
Today their price point screams junk.

The brand was acquired about 20 years ago and turned into a label to add to cheap garments for a price bump. I'd avoid.

Was in a wedding a few years back, and the rented tuxes were Perry Ellis Portfolio, made in Haiti. It looked fine in the pics, but the quality was pretty bad.
