Suit Comparison

[rand456]

Let me preface this question with the obvious, the two suits I'm comparing are clearly of different quality.

1) http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Fitzg...var_MK00437_Color=BLUE&contentpos=1&cgid=0216
2) http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/john-w-nordstrom-classic-fit-wool-suit/3645056

Basically, I'm looking for a (navy) blue suit with a little bit of texture in the fabric. I've never encountered John W Nordstrom before so I have no idea as to their quality, but presumably it is far inferior to BB. That being said, has anyone encountered the latter suit before? Does anyone have any idea if it's half-canvased or fused, the quality of the fabric, etc? I'll probably end up going with the BB unless I can find a more affordable option. Any other suggestions (perhaps a blue sharkskin with little to no sheen)?

The fit on those two suits are vastly different. The Nordstrom one will fit much closer to the Madison cut at BB. You should try them on for fit because that will dictate far better.
