Buying a suit (locations)


So I already discussed color and fit for buying your first basic suit. Now it is time for, where to buy your suit.
I understand not everyone has wads of cash to blow but definitely set a price range, but let's not get too cheap. A nice suit will start at 350 (not sale price) and go on from there. So what I am saying is avoid JC Penny, Sears, and Target. Pretty much avoid anywhere that doesn't have trained employees who know suiting and things of that nature. Basically I am going to break down the basic locations to buy a new suit, the target customer and the rough price range.

Men's Wearhouse-200.00-800.00-For the everyday man. Styles of all sorts and sizes. Make sure your sales person knows their stuff. (See my buddy Jeffrey in Brighton)

Suitsupply-400.00-1000.00-For the more contemporary gent who likes things a little more modern and slim. Many different fits and styles as well as a Made to Measure department!

Macys-300.00-900.00-Everyday man once again, but with a little more designer name behind it. Sales can be quite awesome, especially on their occasional 1 day sales!

Nordstrom-500.00-1200.00-For the higher class man who likes to spend more on his appearance. Granted, these suits are on the higher end of the line, and their sales team have years of experience.

Note Jos. A Banks is not on this list. That is because it is a terrible company with poorly made suits.

 In the end if you really wanna drop cash, go Made to Measure (custom made suits.) Very pricey, but you get a suit made exactly to your liking.

More to come, and I hope this helps.
