![]() ![]() One of these days, maybe I'll write a reddit bot that does this all for me, but for now, I'm going to have fun doing it manually. I'm also going to include a poll below to pick the next thread. ![]() If your favorite strategy in a price range is "go thrifting," put that down - but try to be helpful about it. Also note that your answer doesn't have to be a brand. On the other hand, if Brand Y is on sale 24/7 (I'm looking at you, Banana Republic), talking about MSRP is a little silly. If you see Brand X puts their suits on sale once every seven years and only in their warehouse in Italy, that sale is probably not useful from a pricing perspective. ![]() We can get some great MTM options here, but we can also get cool fabrics including super fine wools, cashmere, and stuff, and eventually bespoke suits, otr suits with a lot of handwork, or crazy fashion brands (some of which might be fused, but hey, if they have a fancy cut or some other feature you like, you do you).Īs for a quick rule on how to categorize price: try to go by the price at which you can reasonably/regularly get an item. Here, we not only get into full canvas as an option, but start playing with nicer fabrics and details. Here, we'll start to get into half canvassed suits, and possibly also escape from the polyester linings and plastic buttons of the cheaper lines (or not). You might also use this price range to experiment with alternative stuff like chino or seersucker suits. In this range, you'd have a hard time finding any canvas, but you can get a relatively good fused wool suit. I'm going to set the price ranges as follows: Hopefully our perspective can add something. You can talk about this great spreadsheet from Styleforum, but that's sorted by quality, and we're going to sort by price, worry about cut and other personal tastes, and ideally, explain what we like about these brands. Now, you may be thinking "Suitsupply, /thread." But there are a lot of reasons - price among others - to prefer other brands. James Bond's uniform, Barney Stinson's bread and butter, and one of the many things that vex our Commander-in-chief, let's talk about Suits! An item that most of us don't really need. I'm going to try to take over the series of threads started by / u/coveo ( last thread on Overcoats), and continued in off-brand form by / u/metcarfre ( last thread on Crewneck Sweaters).įor my first week doing this, I'm picking a classic item that nevertheless doesn't fit the "Basic Bastard" meme. ![]()
