Suit Brand for the Stage

[derekirving]

I can use some help, I'm looking for Suit brands that aren't slim cut per say but with a slightly taken in look (possiblity this can be done with tailoring). I'm a musician that wears suits for vintate styling (50') rock n roll, but don't want hassle of old suits, but a recent suit brand that will work for a stage (not the pimp style suits) and not a business office per say. I'm more of black suit or mono colors and a cut that is not boxy or baggy. Trendy is ok as long as it's classic vibe. I have a Oxxford suit, that's good quality, but even after tailoring it's more of a boxy fit (jacket), and the croch drop and legs can only be taiored so much.

What’s your budget, and where are you based?

I'd be looking to buy used first if possible (e.g. ebay) but open to options. Budget is about $500 so that's why I'm in the used category, I'm located in Santa Rosa CA about 1 hour north of San Francisco.

There are a ton of pre-owned suits by SuitSupply with a slim fit.

Suitreview.net has nice NWT but previous year models.

This seller on eBay also has quite a few suits.

I have no connection to either other than as a satisfied customer.

I’ve bought a couple of used Brioni suits on eBay from vendors in the US (I’m in the UK) and have been pleased with what I got. You should be able to find something within your budget. If you find something you like and are wondering about its authenticity, you can post a question, with pics, in the relevant thread here: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/...ne-etc-official-authentication-thread.231002/

I really like Italian tailoring; a lot of people will say that the best tailors are from Naples - Cesare Attolini is one of the big names to conjure with, but seriously expensive, even used.

I know San Francisco quite well, and was going to recommend as a source of nice used items Seconds to Go, which if memory serves was at the junction of Fillmore and Clay. I say "was" because I just looked it up and it seems to have closed permanently, more’s the pity!

My dream is to get a tailored suit by Sartoria Sala Bianca in Florence.

Husbands Paris would fit your aesthetic but unfortunately out of your budget. But check it out to get a sense of their styling.
