Could you guys recommend me a good quality navy blazer for fairly cheap? Around 100€ if that's even possible.

Guys I need some help with altering suits. Is it easier to make a suit smaller or is it easier to expand it? A 36R suit sits a bit tight on my torso but a 38R is a bit too big on me. Now, I don't know if I should buy a 36R or a 38R. What do you guys usually do in this type of situation?

If the shoulders on the 38R fit you properly, get that one. If they are too big for you, find a different suit. I don't think it's a good idea to buy a suit that's too tight around your midsection.

I feel the shoulders fit better on the 36R and the sleeve length is perfect BUT it's tight around my midsection
The 38R sits better but I feel it's way too lose and the sleeves are bit long. The sleeves almost reach my knuckles. I'm going to take pictures next time and I think that will you guys a better idea of what suit I should buy. Thanks for the suggestion though

How do Allen Edmonds fit? True to size? I'm a 12 or 12.5 in nikes, size 11 in clarks and converse to give an idea of my sizing.

^ I'd say go with an 11.5.
I also wear an 11 in Clarks, for reference.

Don't know what your work set up is like but why not stash a few clean and folded shirts in your desk drawer Don Draper style? Wear whatever on your way in and just throw one on when you get there.

'Good quality' and 'cheap' never belong in the same sentence. It's either or. Then again, quality is all perception. But to answer your question, Zara is selling some for $60-100 on sale right now. Cheap, quality is sub par but it'll fit well without looking boxy or having to get it tailored.
Not directed towards you specifically, but there's too many people here more focused on getting stuff on sale or cheap versus saving that money and investing it in quality pieces. That one quality piece you spend 3-4 times more money on out of your normal price range is truly an investment IMO. I'd rather spend $500 on a bespoke suit from thickasthieves than a $500 Ludlow suit from J.Crew. Or $200 on a bespoke shirt than 4 shirts for $200. Granted, everyone has different income levels but it seems the concept of saving is foreign to most in this thread.
I enjoy deals and savings like the next man but just b/c it's 70% off, doesn't make the product any better. Just food for thought.
Also, Allen Edmonds fit true to size. Their core collection usually have different widths also. Depending on the last, wouldn't recommend sizing down, especially on a dress shoe.

I'd say invest in things like a jacket or shoes. Other stuff comes and goes

It terms of summer shoes, what options are the besides boat shoes, or is it just canvas shoes and light weight sneakers?
How do Nike Toki's fit, true to the size?
For khakis, Dockers have basically been my go to brand. Can anyone recommend any brands that are on par or better?

It says it on their website somewhere. I think it's free if you're a cardmember.
Not all the stores do it though. I'm sure the one at my mall doesn't but the one in the city probably does.

Shoulders fit really well.
But the rest of the suit looks like sort of an odd hybrid between a traditional and a trendy suit. The jacket is very short, and the pants are very tapered, like most trendy/modern cut suits. But the body of the jacket is big, and the arms are baggy, especially above the elbow.
Definitely not terrible, but the length of the jacket and the over-tapering of the pants keep this from being a great interview suit IMO.

The pants say "slim/fitted/modern" and the jacket screams traditional.
The jacket makes you look portly, unless you are portly. It is not awful, but not great either.
Is it off the rack or has it already been tailored?
