You've come to right place, in addition to discussing sports and solving social problems, this website now sells suits as well. What are your measurements?


- I got frustrated and said frick it. Just went to red lobster to get all you can eat shrimp instead of searching more for a suit.

If you stay focused at Red Lobster, you might be able to fit into your old suits before this evening.

- that's the plan. I figure I'll gain the mass needed to wear my old stuff or I'll die, so it'll all work out tonight either way.

I'm 6' 2" and slim, and J. Crew and j. Crew Factory suits fit me perfectly OTR most of the time. Seriously, my tailor usually won't touch them.

I'm not sure how many suits they carry in store though. Maybe give them a call before you head over there.

Dillards should have an OTR suit that works. Steinmart also carries Ralph Laren OTR suits and Nautica - not as good obviously but it's better than Target.

Is getting suits at express a thing? My brother swears by it and he could afford more expensive suits if wanted

I ended up finding a decently fitting suit at stein mart. It'll end up being a throw away suit since I'm trying to gain 10-15 lbs back.

pros: their suits fit me like a glove off the rack
cons: its a fricking suit from target


I bought my 1st suit from Target because of a recommendation in GQ. True story.

If the jacket looks like shite, just slide into the service right before it starts then take it off once you get to the reception and put it on your chair. No one will notice.

Yes. Brooks brothers, Dillard's and Target sell suits in a buy the pants from a rack and the coats from another rack format. No alterations needed. Price and quality according to store.


Thanks for the heads up that BB has become trashy.

Maybe try buying suits more often than every 25 years so you can stay up to date on trashy v non-trashy.

I'm noticing a pattern of ill-advised choices.
