Looking for a suit under $200, what are some good suits that fit this criteria?
what brands should i stick with? how many buttons? color? etc.....
Okay, here is the deal: most here on SF, including myself, will tell you that the only "good" suits for under 200 will be those you find via thrift stores, SF classifieds and Ebay. Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank may have a sale that will work out to under 200 per suit, but it won't be anything anyone here would describe as good and, frankly the only way those suits will be serviceable is with another (minimum) 100 dollars worth of alterations.Looking for a suit under $200, what are some good suits that fit this criteria?
As many as possible; you want to get your money's worth.

With all that said, in the real world, people have budget constraints and 500-800 bucks for what an SF'er might consider a decent suit may be out of the question. The key, with even the cheapest suit, is that if you can find a tailor that can make it fit well, it will look better than the most expensive suit that fits badly. Furthermore, much of the world doesn't really know or notice the difference between a 4 figure MTM suit and a decently altered inexpensive off the rack suit (us nerds here will be able to spot the stitching, cheap material and fused construction, but not the average person). The real questions are do you care about such things and what types of social occasions or workplace is this suit going to be worn in?
...the internet. Look up tailors/alteration shops in your area.thank you,
where do i go to find a good taylor in orlando?
Ok, i will increase my budget. what brands should i stick with? what do you think about perry ellis or alfani suits?
thanks for your help
thank you, what should i look for in a good used suit?eBay is probably your best bet. Secondhand and with alterations probably $200-225. I did it with a few suits when starting out and did very well with this. Still have the suits in my rotation
