[Ivy League]

i'm lookin to get a suit. nyc area. i heard of brooks bros. and hickey freeman, but i dont wanna spend $1500. and places like portabella carry cheap ass $100 suits. i'm lookin to drop 4 bills for a legit wool suit, preferably black with bold white pinstripes, al capone-ish, not mafioso-looking but wall st.-looking. any suggestions?

muchos gracias.

[andrew3sixteen]

you can get brooks brothers suits for $500 or so... and they measure you up and alter it on the house. not a bad bang for the buck - i still wear mine and they are great.

[ghostdeini]

ehhh i'd ask for advice elsewhere, not in hypebeast forum which is full of high schoolers

[koolrhino70]

i say hit up H&M

if you have a brooks brothers outlet close by you can get that suit for around $300

[jaythestar]

or if u go to burlington, marshalls, loehmans, u can find a decent designer suit for about $200

[ClutchNY]

Haha, if you read what he was asking then you wouldn't have even answered.

1. He's not spending $1500
2. He doesn't want 10 suits, he just wants 1
3. He doesn't want to get cheap suits at places like S&K.
4. He wants quality a wool suit at $400

lol i just laughed at this ethestylist post. wtf

[truses]

Good stuff, this is a refreshing topic and very nice store recommendations especially to those who live in the city. Even though most of us work in the creative field its always nice to have a suit in the closet.

peace peace peace,

[tommyroks]

keep in mind you dont want to rock old men suits.

[Ivy League]

for those interested,
i checked out men's wearhouse, brooks bros., lord and taylor, jos. a bank, rothman's, and syms today, and i got a gray calvin klein suit at syms for $300.
and btw, can we give ethestylist the award for best post of the year???

[Visciouskix]

i like the fit of ck suits or express fit just rite not too tight or loose

[ClutchNY]

dude...look @ the addresses on ur post... anything on Madison Ave. is gonna be madddddd $$$$$.... id stay away haahahah

[Vectorman]

Well I don't know about suits or anything really but I always see commercials for them at this store http://www.kgmens.com/ Its a nice little store that sells suits, alters suits, AND sells some nice urban clothing on the side. Also has some nice shoes too.

[Hendriks]

Haha, if you read what he was asking then you wouldn't have even answered.

1. He's not spending $1500
2. He doesn't want 10 suits, he just wants 1
3. He doesn't want to get cheap suits at places like S&K.
4. He wants quality a wool suit at $400

He wasn't saying the guy had to spend $1600, he was using what he bought as an example of the deals that he could get, jackass.

[dex653]

i found the best times to buy are in january and july. most retailers off their fall and spring inventory, respectively, for up to 70% off to clear for the new season. with that said, check:

- century 21 (posted previously)
- macy's
- nordstrom/nordstrom rack (not sure if they're on the eastcoast)
- barney's

stick with charcoal and navy; it's more versatile to mix and match slacks with suit jacket. last tip, you're better off investing in a really nice suit that will fit better and last longer...nothing worse than a seeing a guy in a bad, unfit suit.

Maybe shoving a rake up your ass is the same thing.
