Suit thread of the day

I know we just discussed suits the other day, however I need some advice from you barons of style. I don't currently own a proper suit, will need one in mid-november.
Should I buy off rack and have it tailored, or custom order (blacklapel)?
Who is best tailor for alterations in BR? I usually use golden needle in drusilla

You sound like you don't wear suits a lot... just get one off the rack and have it 'ALTERED'.. Tailoring is for custom suits.

All day. With your timeline, if somehow it doesn't fit perfectly, you can get them to cover the cost of alterations, or send it back and still get it back in time.

Depends on your size and drop. I can't get off rack because the drop from chest to pant is over 10". If that is you then you will have to buy separates. Some of the ones at Macy's ain't bad. Jos A Banks doesn't have separates.

What size are you? Waist size? Height? Weight? What kind of fit do you want?

I would go with one of the online shops:
Black Lapel
Dragon Inside Suits
Thick as Thieves (Truly horrible website, but have heard good things about the suits, though the shoulders can be an issue for some)

Check out Suit Supply here in Houston. It's worth the drive.

Buy a decent, mid-priced suit from Dillard's or Macy's .
Take it to a good local tailor to have it altered. Bring the shoes with you that you are going to wear with the suit. Allow about 2 weeks as they are generally backed up.
