Where to buy suits <$1000
 

Looking for good recommendations to buy two set of suits for weddings.

I only know of Indochino which my friend recommended.

looking for slim fit suits btw

MTM:

Thick as Thieves
Black Lapel
Modern Tailor
Suit Supply

U can get hugo boss suits at Harry Rosen for around $800-900
Hugo by Hugo Boss is the slim line
U can get Huo by Hugo Boss suits at the seattle premium outlet for around $550
I also saw Canali at Nordstorm Rack DT Seattle for $999
And Armani Collizoni for $899 at the rack

But obviously YMMV when it comes to outlets/rack

If the bachelor party is in Asia, I highly suggest Vietnam or Thailand and get a custom made suit. Otherwise any of the said locations are great

^beat me to it. A bit off topic but does anyone have experience with indochino's pea coats?

I know this may not be a possibility for OP. but Japan. No joke.

A slim-cut suit thats perfectly hemmed to your body shape for under $300 at more than a few large chain retailers. Quality as well.

go to topman at the bay.

believe me, they have some amazingly cheap peacoats.

do you know which stores or brand in Japan?

Make sure you get it tailored, a non-tailored suit, regardless of price/brand looks like shit.

most of the indochino suits ive seen fit weird and always require tailoring afterwards.
theres a whole thread about it on styleforum i think

yeah went over the weekend. Not too fond of their selection of pea coats. Decided to buy one off jcrews website. Got one for almost 100 bucks off.

what do u guys think of TED BAKER suits? I picked one up today at The BAY for 50% off (reg price is $595 and down to $297.50). Are they a reputable brand? I really like the silk design on the inside and I chose it over Kenneth Cole and Micheal Kors suits since they were the same price.

Does Harry Rosen still carry Ted Baker suits?

Ted Baker is still a popular English brand and is along the lines of Ben Sherman and Penguin. Think Paul Smith on a budget.

Like someone above said, Suit Supply is awesome.
Spend way too much tiime and money there when I'm in NYC!

with offshore MTM guys , how do you guys get your measurements done? Do you go somewhere local or get a buddy to help out?

so how many different suits do u guys have in your closet? So far I have 3 ....along with some sport blazers

I just bought another Ted Baker suit in grey today at THE BAY :thumbs:

2 right now
1 dark grey
1 black

Want to add a navy single breasted and a charcoal double breasted to my collection next yr

whats the difference between single and double breasted suits? so are the classic ones single or double? :suspicious:

Most of what u see these day is single breasted
Double breasted is more "english-style" I think
I just like to have 1 in my closet
Suitable for interviews, meets etc

double breasted has two vertical button columns, single has one.
its a bit more formal and has peaked lapels.
also it tends to look good if you are a thinner guy.

what do you guys think of Calvin Klein "X" suits? the top is $425 and the matching pants are $180

they cutting and fit is amazing when I tried it on at the BAY but I didnt buy it since it was more pricy compared to others...

I think "X" is their top of their line for suits?

I think "Calvin Klein Collection" is their top of the line for suits
Starts at about $1100 I believe

I prefer buying good quality suits that are reasonably good fits and then budgeting for alteration than having a "cheaper" MTM offshore suit made that I can't feel the materials, etc. I have had great luck buying suits at Nordstrom's rack in Seattle, I have 1 Hugo Boss suit and 2 Calvin Kleins plus a few older suits and have paid less than $400 for the Boss and less than $300 for each of the CK suits. Altering the pants is around $30 for waist and hemming and the jackets are around $60 for sleeves and taking them in/out.

Good luck,
Mark
