    For me tailoring has always been the biggest factor in making a suit look expensive. Right out of college I bought a few $200 suits from a company that used to be popular in the mens youtube space and went out of business. I didnt have alot of money, but I had a good relationship with a local tailor. The man was a wizard and was able to make those cheaper suits fit me like a glove. I got a ton of compliments from guys at work wearing suits close to $1000 and they asked where I got my suits. I also got a ton of complements from women at weddings as well. Tailoring can't make up for horrible fabric, but if the fabric is "ok", having it fit you very well can elevate a suit beyond its price tag. Its also a good reminder that so many men wear horribly fitting suits that having one that fits you well can make you stand out and is much more comfortable to wear

    Hehe First comment.
    Yes, it’s entirely possible.
    I was down-at-heel, with an impending court case and needed a suit.
    I went to TKMax and purchased suit, shoes, shirt and tie for £115 (I’m in UK).
    The suit was £50 and I found this skilful Nepalese seamstress who tailored the suit and shirt for £55 (more than the suit).
    I rocked up at my son’s school concert and bumped into some old friends who said I looked like James Bond. Job done!

    I don’t know if there is such a thing as an off-the-rack suit that is worth a damn. I recently shopped Joseph Bank and Brooks Brothers and was appalled that suits costing $700+ were made so poorly. No fabric fiber content tags. Arm holes that are so cavernous you can only wear it in a standing position. Massively long sleeves that needed shortening on my 36 sleeve length. Collar rolls on the high back that could serve as jumps for my kids’ matchbox cars. Bonobos had better fit matching options but at the the price point I really think most men should opt for a made-to-measure option.
    Sure, an inexpensive off-the-rack suit can be had for a man on a modest budget, but he’ll spend double the price of that suit getting the alterations to make it well-fitted.
    If you have a muscular athletic build like this 210 pound former Marine with a 47 chest and 34 waist, just save your time and go to some made-to-measure options.

    When the sleeves of a jacket need to be shortened to the point where your tailor says a button needs to be removed, does that make it look cheap? If so, can the button be reattached farther up the sleeve? A smaller size does not accomodate my broad shoulders. Also, if the jacket has no vents, is that a shortcoming a tailor can overcome?

    I just discovered you today. I'm a single mom of a 19 year old son, and I think that he's finally done growing, so it's time to invest in one or two suits. I know nothing about suits, shirts, shoes, ties, etc. except that my daddy always wore one and always looked sharp.
    I was leaning towards navy or dark gray to start as my son would prefer joggers, graphic tees, and hoodies. He really doesn't go anywhere that would require a suit, and it's just the two of us, so we won't be attending any funerals unless they're our own 😂 so I figure that he really only needs one to start, because every man should own a suit, even if he's the garbage man.
    Since I'm not a man and my daddy died in 2014 I was not aware that a nice, classic suit sells for so much money. I expected that there would be tailoring involved and that can be pricey, but the car I drive is older than my kid, and I only paid 1500 for it. I am on a fixed income (social security disability) due to a brain tumor a few years ago and cost is very important. I was thinking that it would run me around 250ish plus tailoring and I see that I had an unreasonable expectation 🤯 I read the comnents first to see what actual men were saying, I saw a couple mention the Goodwill as a place to source a quality suit but my son is over 6 feet tall and I'm not sure that there will be much to choose from.
    Also, what about cuff links? Are those necessary?
    I guess men's warehouse is out?
    I am in the USA. Arizona specifically, so 100% wool is probably not a good option?

      I think his best tip was that even if you have to buy a cheaper suit, if you have it professionally tailored it will look better. So for a young man without a big paying job, I would say Men’s Wearhouse or JoS A Bank is okay if it is tailored to fit well. And when it is time to step up, maybe he can try Charles Tyrwhitt, Brooks Brothers. Indichino suits are made to fit, so if there’s one in your area, it might be a good starting point.

    Ties are about as good of a value for money you can get. For just 10 quid or so, you can upgrade from: "oh, he just put on the only suit he has" to wearing a complete "suit look" especially if the tie is of a relatively strong colour, you show that you can match colours, that you are used to wearing ties (a lot of men avoid it, just because they aren't comfortable with something touching their neck, which is only a matter of habit), and if you have to come to the same place twice, you just change your tie, and for 10 quid, you look like you are wearing something altogether different than last time

    I love suits! I want to wear casual suits as my daily outfit.. But I just absolutely hate wearing them. So uncomfortable with no elasticity or breeze (other than maybe the shirt itself) also my body runs hot, so wearing layers just kills me. Even in the winter, a shirt, then jacket may be too cold, but then an overcoat melts me. I can't win.

      I live in a warm climate, and I mostly rely on sports coats. I have five of them, with varying levels of formality, and varying levels of how warm/cool they are.
      If you want a sports coat that is breathable, look for one that is *unlined.* (They are also sometimes called "unstructured.") It's the satin lining in most jackets that doesn't breathe. I own two linen/wool blend sports coats that don't have lining, and they are much more comfortable in most temperatures.
      Unlined/unstructured jackets usually cost *more,* because they require a higher level of skill to make. However, they don't necessarily cost more if you buy them second-hand.
      For colder weather, I own a heavy tweed sports coat. It's great for outdoors (even in a light rain), but I remove it when I get indoors ... just like I would remove any other jacket. It's too warm for room temperature.
