where to buy a suit

[Buick355]

I got 3 suits at MW. Also bought several shirts, ties, a belt, and dress shoes. For interviews and occasions where my wife drags me to some stuffy suit and tie event it does the job fine. If I had to wear suits every day, I'd buy something nicer and more comfortable with a strong tie to hang myself.

A buddy of mine works at Jos A Banks. I bought one today that is decent. Makes no sense to buy a suit and go no tie though...

I used to think that too...i will be wearing a suit and no tie friday most likely

Making an effort to look good without a tie is better than wearing a stupid fucking tie, IMO.

I wear a suit with no tie quite frequently. Was perfect for work (tech) conventions in SF. Functions that are "nicer" but not formal I do it.

Both halluburton and raytheon higher ups practiced suit no tie

Our CEO and a few of the senior guys run with that look.

It's Halliburton.

Meaning the soon to be largest energy services company in the world?

What about those in the finance industry going this route?

What about defense contractors?

Or any other tech industry for that matter.

Do you just look for the first thing you can try to troll on and spill stupidity...or do you ever actually have a point?

How long are you wanting to keep and wear it? Fused jackets are cheaper, but they don't last as long as a full canvassed suit. Tailoring is a MUST unless you go bespoke (choo choo, mofucka) Stay away from designer names, as their suits will look good, but be shit quality. Brooks Brothers has some pretty nice shit, but it's all more expensive than the 100-150 suits most in here are talking about. There are a ton of small details in a suit that stand out. Tailored or not, a cheap suit will not look or last as well as a nicer suit for a few hundo more. Most of the full canvas suits I've been looking at start in the 4-500 range.

depends on the designer as some contract stuff out to good companies. But yea op, stay away freom anything fused, get at least half canvassed. do the pinch test to determine how a jacket is constructed. if you pinch it and feel a floating canvas in between layers all the way down the chest its fuly canvassed. if it goes halfway its half canvassed. if you feel nothing, its fused. Be carefull with Brooks brothers stuff. some (especially the outlet "346" suits) are fused. after a while this glue comes luuse and the jacket bubles up with air pockets. Like i said the Hickey Freeman mainline stuff is NICE, is fully cvanvased and can be had in your price point. If you can find one with Loro Piana cloth, even better. I have a few and theyre bad ass. Just brush when done wearing between dry cleanings and theyll last forever.

also an OUTSTANDING place to find a good deal if you know your measurements and can wait is Ebay

Nordstrom. Buy from their online sale and have it tailored.

<-- rocks suit and no tie weekly

Suit with no tie seems a bit off. That's just my opinion though.

I've found that most execs for high tech companies do not wear ties. I may wear one when it is called for. I can rock a tie any day. Grandpa taught me how to tie nearly every tie knot around.

Why are those three off your list? I know jack shit about suits so I am not giving you shit for exluding them. In fact they are the first ones I would think of. I don't own a suit and probably should buy one some day.

See Racerguy's comments. Most of these lower priced suits are fused or half canvased.

I figure I'll be wearing a suit once or twice a week.. (I'll be buying two or three). I'll also be mixing things up, like wearing the jacket with jeans. I'll be attending conferences quite a bit as well. I'm budgeting for roughly $500 per suit..

Plan for 100/suit for tailoring unless youre lucky with the fit.
