Hi, first post here. I work in Loans for a Canadian bank and currently just wear trousers and dress shirts/ties. I'm looking for 2-3 nice suits. Prefer to spend $500 on each but willing to spend as much as a $1000 (and not eat for 3 months).
I went out to Harry Rosens, Holt Renfrew, and Zegna (sp?).
I loved the look of the Etro suit jackets, but I play a lot of hockey and have bigger thighs. The seams on the Etro pants cling to dear life on my thunder thighs (didn't dare try to bend over in them - you rip you buy). The Gable/Vegas Hugo suit fits well as did the more traditional Zegna line (pants on these were perfect). But the jackets just seem bulkier and unflatering. I loved how slim the arms on the Etro were and how it seemed to elongate my torso (5'8" - can use all the elongating I can get)
Am I really stuck with these or are there any other brands or stores you guys can recommend? Also, been reading through some posts here and there really doesn't seem to be a lot of love for HB. Are they really that bad? The salesmen at Harry Rosens was really trying to sell me on the Gable/Vegas cut. Also haven't seen any mention of Banana Republic - do they carry anything worth while?
Any help is appreciated guys. Cheers.
