Looking to get my first real suit for some upcoming interviews. I've been looking at the men's wearhouse bogo deals...what are some good quality brands? I'm seeing a lot of Eark Ecko and Sean John suits and couldn't imagine those being any good...leaning towards Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren but I'm iffy on those two since they're only ~200

The fit is not bad. I'm 6'2, 185 and wear a large. Its not super slim but again, its not at all blousey. I actually wish it were a little more slim and a little shorter in length. Mediums would be too small after a wash and dry so I stick with large.

Yea those Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren you see at Macy's arent really good in regards to quality. If you want some nice quality suits, your looking to spend over $1K...but im pretty sure your not looking to spend that much. But if you have outlets in your town, check out some shops there (Neiman Marcus, Off 5th) or Nordstrom Rack. You can find some nice deals for around $500.
For starters you can look at Brooks Brothers, Armani, Hugo Boss or maybe even Theory?

I think Banana Republic is having a 40% sale on suits. I bought mine last week for around $240.

I don't see how any average income making person can pay $135 for a tie

I consider myself fiscally prudent, so spending that much on a tie is ridiculous when you can get great ties at a fraction of the cost. I usually don't pick up a tie unless it is really marked down.Originally Posted by KenJi714

I see the OG price tag of $60-80 and just

, the 1k suits are for those that are already well established. Plus, you can't wear a price tag on a suit. On top of that, you can find solid and good quality suits for less than $500.

Start by copying off of manikins until you get the idea of what goes with what and what's appropriate to wear. Then you can start to put your own twist to it

Just go in and tell the tailor you want it more fitted.Originally Posted by Cobra Kai
I was assuming the pants are fitted like the jacket.Originally Posted by Smedroc
you cant even see the slacks so how you know that??
Do you want the suit to be more fitted??
a more accurate representation would be that GQ picture listed in the grey suit above this post.
They'll have you put it on and you can show them where you want the alterations.

and yeah those are kinda high in the waist, which made me think I should of grabbed a smaller size.
Not sure why they aren't on Levis site...guessing 520 are kinda the same thing.

It's not like people will buy the same clothes as the mannequins and use pins as well. You copy the aesthetics, not the method.
It's common sense, but the internet and nt doesn't surprise me anymore.
The humidity in ny has been horrible this week. I wore a sportshirt / casual shirt a few times this week and was suffering.

Generaiya would just simply wear the jacket a lot . . .
Generaiya used to bike a lot while living in Japan, and would wear his raw denim while biking. The whiskers and fading came out really nicely.

For real. What the hell am I supposed to wear? I need to dress business casual for work...but even a linen sports shirt makes me feel like death.
By the time i'm at the train station from my house...i'd be sweating bullets.
