Suit recommendation - $500-750

Just go to Macys

I bought a Jos A Bank Tropical Blend suit online for $87 just the other day haha Jos A Bank isnt OT baller status, but a brand new suit at that price... Yes please haha


ETA: LINK Jos A Bank clearance online is a decent grab. Linked is the summer suit I just got.

eBay. Seriously. Can get some killer deals on suits from Asia

Go to a good Dillards or Macys, or any Nordstrom, and look around for suits in about the 500 range. For that you can get some decent brands, including some HSM gold trumpeter stuff from Dillards.

If you catch a sale you might be able to get 2 for 600 or so, but either way, save some money for a really good tailor (read: not your dry cleaner).

If you look around a good bit or go to a website like Sierra Trading you can sometimes find Jack Victor and Hickey suits for 500-700. Probably not the way to go unless you're pretty familiar with suiting, but it's a decent option.

No offense, but if you don't know too much about suits, you are not ready/don't need to spend $500 on a suit. You can get a really nice suit for half that.

Unlike most of the folks on this board, I have never been a fan of Joe Bank. Their suits look okay in the store, but my experience is they lose their shape when you clean them.

I'd stick with Dillard's or Macy's if I were you. Salesmen there can be very helpful. Don't be afraid to haggle for a deal.

Nordstrom and Saks outlets if you have them near you.

Benjamin suit from eHaberdasher. LINK

edit: Benjamin suits are full canvased construction. For the price point, you will not find a better suit anywhere, especially after you take it to your tailor.

You can get a suit in the 300 range from Jos A Bank, Dillards, Macy's, etc.. There is higher quality selection in the 500-750 range. I was interested in a suit recently and went to Brooks Brothers. There suits are typically around 1200, but they had something where they will take you measurements and there are swatches of materials you can choose from. Takes a few weeks, but the suit was substantially less. Limited selection of materials though. But it is a high quality suit (not their outlet version). Only reason I didn't pull the trigger was that I wanted the suit for the weekend. Nordstrom's cheapest suit was $700, but they had a much better selection than a Jos A Bank or Macy's type store.
