Hey guys,
I saw this while searching through previous threads but didn't find a definitive answer to my question. Some friends and I were discussing suits, and I was shopping online and found a BBBF suit for xxxx dollars and told them I thought it was quite cheap for a quality suit. They disagreed and said that is way too much for a suit and that you would be better off buying two xx dollar suit (Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY, etc.). After the first one gets old then to replace it with a new one, which would equal the cost of one xxxx dollar suit. I thought the quality of construction, material, details and performance would be much better, but they thought with tailoring from afar they would seem indistinguishable. I had a difficult time justifying making the more expensive purchase other than by means of quality. I prefer to invest in a high quality, while still reasonably priced, item that I can wear, but not beat to the ground, and keep for years and enjoy them despite being old or vintage.
Being that we are students, having nice clothes is difficult on a budget, but when entering the work force our options will increase. I personally would invest in something like suits because I think they would be very useful for occasions and events (weddings, baby showers, formal dinners, business meetings) but others have difficult time justifying this purchase. Can anyone give any opinions as to why quality would be better than quantity?
