My coat size is about 48

I'm seeing Macy's has a sale on some Trump, Alfani, and Ralph Lauren Suits.... what do you all think of that?

RL is always pimp. check out the CK as well.

x2 on Ralph but CK is always tough because they are made for skinny people.

....and if you go to a Macy's or Lord and Taylor{ great suits when on sale,check the Black and Brown label}
it will usually take a week to get it tailored.

Goodwill has a few refurbished ones cheap, just dry clean it before wearing to kill the bugs.

as far as tailoring, quite true, even Jos A Banks takes that long..the tailor at the one near me was the best dressed elderly man I have ever seen...never seen brown shoes that shiny, dude was dressed so well, that Hey-sus himself would be jealous...

I took a RL suit to a Korean tailor and got it back in 2 days.

Jos A Banks Signature suit over Mens Wearhouse if that is the choices... I've got several from different places and the JAB is my favorite go to suit.

How long do they normally take there? I have a conference next week.... I could always wear one of my older suits, but I dunno... I want something fresh

i realize you're a billionaire, but check macy's website for coups and it's almost worth signing up for their "announcements". they send shit to my wife, and i shit you not when i say we pay for most of our clothes for about 20% of sticker, with coupons and promotions , etc (we don't even have a macy's card).

the suit selection isn't by the thousands, but they have the top classic brands like calvin klein, etc. they have tailors on staff, and if you "expedite" the order (at least it's available by our house) for like $10 extra or something they have it tailored next day. if you have a few minutes to kill, i'd definitely check them out. i got my last two suits there for like $150 each; one's calvin klein, forget the other one (i want to say guess, i think it was a "martin scorsese" or some crap)

Thanks for the input guys, I'll check out a few stores tomorrow!

Ursus · « **Reply #40 on:** April 08, 2011, 10:22:12 AM »

I bought a very dark blue suit with very very fine detail stripes (not pinstripe)

Had to get a big size which was 20% extra and then tailored but I view it as an investment.

Cost £300 though.

i got a new suit a few months back....the jacket cost more than everything else combined...not easy finding a damn jacket at all..

bench

There is more work making a jacket than all else combined...its the most difficult thing to make of a men's suit...

If anyone can sniff out a good deal for a suit it will be Big Ach.

With Jos A Bank, I forgot, I had their tailor do a Trench Coat and a suit for me. The Korean tailor was cheap (Korean prices), they did a RL suit for me, something along 25-30 dollars, for two days (they could have it in 1 day)...

You are in med school, you'll be able to afford it, if anything, they are lower mid to mid level, Brooks Brothers near me is good, but their tie selections aren't as good as Jos. A Bank---that is my "thing", ties...if a place doesn't have good tie selection, it shows that they only really care about selling a product...not selling and complimenting the product to it's fullest.

Might I suggest accessorizing with the mask shown below. It will protect a considerable portion of your anatomy from the elements.
