Do you own a suit?

[Asteroid-Man]

It doesn't. But you can easily tell the difference.

********. Ever had a custom tailored suit shipped in from China? Ever buy some ****** old suit from a second hand store and had it tailored to you?

 

[Erzengel]

Yes s'.

First off, if you are buying an old suit from a second hand store, you have to have an extreme amount of luck considering they can't bring in the shoulders of a suit.

Secondly, I was in my own tux and my groomsmen were in rented ones for my wedding. Now the rented ones were nice and in shots, you can barely tell but up close or in the suit, yeah it was noticeable.

Honestly, if you are slim, go to Macy's and get a Bar III suit. That suit, for the price, looks fantastic.

I can tell you I look pretty friggen' sharp in my suits and I've gotten stopped at pubs and on the street by designers and formal dress shop owners asking me where I got my suit. I buy second hand and tailor it. There are only a couple things to watch for that cannot be fixed but every few months I find something usable and it resulted in a decent collection of formal attire.

Buying cheap doesn't mean buying stupid.

I don't have a date, but I'll be renting one for my brother's wedding.

 

[the last son]

No. Need one though. How much for a decent one? 400?

 

[tzarinna]

I have two. I have to wear heels cause the petite size suits aren't as awesome.

 

[Martha]

Black dress shirt, red tie, corduroy jacket, dress pants.

As close to a suit as I'll ever get.

At least you'll be well prepared when you have to teach the teenagers of a small repressive Midwestern town how to dance to rock'n'roll.
