Lunge Advice plz - good +/-UPD place to buy a +/-LDR suit?
Nov 16, 2018, 10:45 AM
|
|
Recently got rid of my only two suits...one because fat, the other because moths (apparently...possible ###### up dry cleaning). I MAYBE wear a suit once a year. I was obvi planning on picking up another or 2, but lazy, and haven't....
Now I need one, but we also happen to be spending a shitton of monies on several other things, and hope to get one without any additional dings to the wallet.
Do your standard 'chain' suit places have Black Friday deal(do)s? Men's Wearhouse or Jos A Banks or something??
Any other rec's?
I'm not expecting any usable info, just FYI.

Hamrick’s of Gaffney.
As long as you get rid of it before you need it dry cleaned theirs look pretty dang good for the price.

In my opinion, yes. Especially if you are not an everyday suit/shirt guy. If you are, go spend Brooks Brothers money. Have their shirts that I have had 10+ years.
Charles Tyrwhitt’s store in DC is where I finally bought in and they have been great. I am a bean poke, so hard to find stuff that fits. Their suits do well.

They supposedly get your size at the store and then make it and ship to you, butt I've heard their sizing is often very off. I also think Black Friday it's going to be even more rushed and sloppy.
I've heard good things about Suit Supply, there is one in Atlanta...not sure if they ship or what. Also curious about trying Bonobos for suits, their wool dress slacks are great

I haven't gotten a suit from them yet, but I will.

A buddy has gotten a couple and loves them....not sure where SST has heard the negativity but glowing reviews here in Nashville, and if there were any fit tweakings needed they would reimburse you to have additional alterations made in Greenville.
I don't think you need to actually be in store on Black Friday. You can pay for the suit in advance (at the sale price) and then get fitted later.

Also as an FYI, not suit talk, but I bought some Untuckit shirts and they are worth every dime. Especially if you are tall. Best money I have spent in a long while.

I was able to get a good buzz going on a slow weekday in that store. Bought 3 shirts, but have received a TON of junk mail from them since.
Shirts make my fattie look less fattie

Express usually has some good sales on suits

J. Crew has some very nice off the rack suits, but they're not cheap at all. They do sometimes have sales, especially online.
My problem is that I've had to wear suits most days of the week throughout my whole career, and I keep getting holes in the pants in the inner thigh because of my thighs rubbing together. I'm not even fat, either

anyone who's ever lifted a weight in their life can't get their arms in J Crew shirts.
I think the same goes for Express & their euro-sizing

I tend to wait for a Jos a Bank sale. But get your own tailor as the onsite folks typically suck.
