I guess it doesn't look as bad as I expected. It looks like your pretty tall too so it's easier for you to pull it off. How far or long is thedrop? It looks real long, then again, it might just be the 4-buttons.Originally Posted by NCTwin
Thanks for the suit descriptions up there.
Here's a quick shot I took of the 4 button. Didn't come out too well(should've taken my hand out of the pocket, but here it is:

2. If you don't believe OTR is pointless, buy a 1k jacket and take it to a bespoke tailer, he will laugh.
That list is good and all but remember, those suits were highly altered and I can almost guarantee that some of those suits wouldn't look exacltythe same way it looks on those models. From experience, I have never seen a CK, Kenneth Cole and Nautica suit that fits like that OTR. Just a heads up but itis definitely a good place to start.Originally Posted by NCTwin
Found this on GQ:

Cotton suit, $250, by Express Design Studio.
Worn by Brad Standley, luxury concierge.
How to Make a $500 Suit Look Like a Million Bucks
1. Every suit, no matter its price, needs alterations. For several of these, a tailor took in the sides of the jacket and even slimmed down the pants and the sleeves. You don't want your suit to be tight, but you do want it to be trim.
Wool suit, $249, by H&M.
Worn by Ted Kato, business analyst.

2. A $5 pocket square, kept crisp and white, makes an immeasurable impact. Every man should own at least one.
Cotton suit, $369, by Nautica.
Worn by Luke Forbes, writer.
Wool suit, $426, by Kenneth Cole New York.
Worn by Brett Jeffry, personal chef.

3. While you're in the men' s department, consider a simple silver tie bar. It introduces a jolt of gentlemanly attitude to your outfit.

Worn by Stephen Lundberg, actor.

4. Well-polished, well-maintained dress shoes anchor any ensemble. Invest in one quality (classic) pair and wear them with every suit in your closet.
Cotton suit, $256, by Calvin Klein.
Worn by Sergio Mercado, interior designer.

5. Multitask. A suit doesn't always have to mean business. Try it with a pair of sneakers and a polo shirt, or pair the jacket with jeans or khakis. Get your money's worth out of your suit-even if it did cost you only a few hundred bucks.
Wool suit, $495, by Tommy Hilfiger.
Worn by Lex Sidon, music-video director.
Cotton suit, $296, by Banana Republic.
Worn by Mark Brycman, spa owner.
Cotton suit, $495, by Perry Ellis.
Worn by Trevor Nelson, private equity investor.
