if you are ever in los angeles.. you can go to the hollywood suit outlet and get designer suits that are a few years old for stupidly low prices.. i purchased a 3 button paul smith suit for a hundred bucks there.. you have to do some serious looking though...
also.. for really great suits that aren't going to run you over the $1,000 mark...

My favorite suite, believe it or not I got it at JC Pennies, I think. It was one of those big box stores. On sale, I think I gave around $150 for it. Charcoal gray with light gray pin stripe, wool blend. Had the trousers and jacket fitted at the local tailor. Fits nice and the fabric hangs/moves wonderfully. A lot of the cheap suites have stiff, ridged fabric and it does not hang or move with you. Looks like an origami project gone bad. A decent tailor can work wonders.
take a look at this place Custom Suits & Mens Suits | Indochino they make tailored suits, shirts and coats. the prices seem good.
It really helps to be built in a certain way. Those of average weight and height, slimly built without an overhanging stomach or well developed upper body can often find good quality 'off the peg' suits in the UK.
Deviate from the norm and the only way you can look good is to buy a bespoke suit.
I love my S.Cohen suit.
I really like the look and variety of the suits at Indochino, but I am so hesitant to order a custom suit online. I have read mixed things about them on styleforum, but it seems that they do remake any suits that do not fit properly.Quote:

All my suits cost under 200.00, I am not a rich man, I am a simple one, and they look just fine after a tailor works on them for a little extra dough. Make friends with a tailor in town, someone who's been there for years if you can, they're be a staple when you buy suits.
