tbh tho this isn't for ya "i need a refine gold button with the wool of a golden sheep in navy blue" type people. This is for really lower end income and just people who need a suit to "work" in terms of image rather than quality. Doesn't make better suits worse(even if they cost a fortune) its just different markets
Well aren't you hot shit. Lol. These suits are clearly meant for perhaps someone's first suit, or maybe lower income men who must have one for a job interview and are trying to get their lives on track, etc. It's not for everyone, but there is absolutely a market for this.
Sounds to me like these suits are a great find for anyone who can’t afford to pay the designer store/brand prices. Three of my friends all buy their suits from this maker and I’ve complimented them to the point of them sharing their secret source. I plan to make a purchase! Thank you for friends like these.
So, here's my experience. I ordered 3 suits on the $39 each deal. I read their very specific comments about sizing, alterations, shipping, returns. There are no exchanges. I ordered my usual size, and I typically need about a 1/2 inch off the sleeves, and maybe some some alteration through the body if I want a fitted look. I have been buying suits regularly for 40+ years. I have reasonable expectations with a $39 suit. The shipping cost was a little steep, but i figured the suits were a bargain. I received the suits in a timely manner. Plain box, suits on hangers, protected by plastic. Better than I thought it would be. The suits were accurate for color, and had surprisingly good construction. They were made as well as any store bought suit, and better than some. So far I was very happy with the purchase. I tried on the suit, and it did not fit. It was about a size smaller than off the rack suits run. There was adequate material for alterations, but not that much. The length of the body was shorter than I am used to getting in a suit. All of this is to be expected when buying a suit. Size can vary greatly even within a brand. That's the reason to try it on first.The company states that they use standard American sizes for their suits, and I believe they do follow a standard sizing chart. The problem is that so many other manufactures "tweek" sizing so at best you generally have a 1-2 size range depending on the suit. I would have been a very satisfied customer if the suits had fit, or had been close to what I expected. If I had ordered a size larger it probably would have been fine. Here's the problem. I paid about $31 for shipping at purchase, then $45 dollars for UPS ground to return. They do not do exchanges only refunds, and you pay shipping. If I order what I think might be my correct size, another $31 in shipping, and if wrong another $45 to return again. At this point it's better to take the $76 loss (on $120 suit purchase) than to risk adding another $76 (now $152 on $120 in suits). If it had worked out for me, I would be ordering suits all the time because I believe them to be well made, and a fantastic price. I just not willing to risk another $65 and end up with nothing. Sorry!!!
I bought a burgundy suit from Alain Dupetit to wear casually for the fall and winter. I wanted a bold color for a change of pace. I like my suit, but it's definitely not one you can wear all the time, especially for the color I chose. I took it to a tailor and it fits really well, the tailor didn't have to do anything different from any other suit I've had tailored. I would say this suit is for people who have a nice base collection and want to try a new color/have a suit you won't be afraid of ruining, and college aged kids where you know you will have some occasions where you wear a suit and get three sheets to the wind.
I bought this brand 2 years ago as I was sick and tired of spending $2000 per year on suits for my work. I have to say, no one knows I am wearing $39 suit. It fits me very well and comfortably like any of my Hugo Boss slim fits. I have received more compliments on these suits. People still think I am wearing Hugo Boss but that's my little secret. These suits lasted me a long time. 2 years lifespan with weekly dry cleaning. Lastly, I love these suits because it is so economical I don't have to worry about ruining them. I highly recommend for work but make sure you tailor it to fit your body. Lastly, I am not a sweaty person. If you are, you may just want to fork out $39 and try one and experience it yourself.
Looks like it would be a great suit for a teenager who needs it for a family wedding, but he's still growing and it probably won't fit by this time next year...
I have purchased 3 of these suits. As a person that doesn't wear suits often I feel like they are a pretty decent purchase. The fit is much better than anything else that I have purchased off of the rack in a department store. I like to wear patterned shirts with them as it tends to draw the eye away from examining the suit too closely. But, overall they are a great deal if you don't wear suits regularly.
Thank you The Kavalier for reviewing Alain Dupetit suits because I was looking for inexpensive suits online and I found this video. Since you had a successful suit delivery, I ordered mine and I am very satisfied with the product. I bought 3 of them at first and I was happy with the fit and the pricing that I ordered 3 more. In the future I plan to have all of their suits; the two buttons, 3 buttons, single breasted, double breasted, tuxedos and 100% wool fabric. Thank you so much for introducing this company to me.
I agree with some of the other guys. Might be a good choice for someone on a budget who needs a single use for wedding, funeral, or graduation IF the fit was OK. Could probably find something better on clearance for $100-$150 at JCPenny, Belk, etc. if they had a little time to shop.
I bought one pair a year ago and was very pleased with my purchase. The only complaint I had was that the jacket was a bit too tight. But it’s one of the best suits I own, and I own lots. Every time I where mines, I always get compliments. I love how the suit compliments my frame, I’m a small dude, and it’s a challenge to find something that doesn’t show too much or that is slightly oversize.
Around my senoior year of high school I was the host for a five star restaurant that required me to wear a suit everyday and I didn't want to wear one of my nice suits for a job that only paid $10/hour. So I bought a few Alain Dupetit suits and they served me fine for that job.
First of all what kind of shit manager requires a suit for every shift and only pays $10 an hour? good call with the cheap suits, but for someone who wore regular suits they would need to work over a month just to pay off their uniforms.
I totally disagree with this review. I used to wear all the major name brands and after having surgery and gaining 40 pounds during my recovery I could no longer wear my high dollar gear. I found this website and purchased one for $39 to see what its about. Wearing these suits have been a breeze. Being in healthcare sales and interacting with everyone from physicians to CEOs and they all compliment the suits. They dang near fall out their seats when I tell them how much they cost. I even washed it and got good results. My day consists of driving, walking and standing all day and these suits take activity much better than the Hickey Freeman, Klein, Brioni and others that I used to wear.
@Luis Rosales Ethics schmethics. Lets shut the suit company down and then watch those workers in Bangladesh or wherever starve. That may be ethical, but is it moral?
@@shanewright2772 i asked a simple question buddy. The right thing to do would be get these companies to start paying their employees fairly and provide proper working environments. Just because someone has a job doesnt mean its right when they are being enslaved and abused by the employer. They are starving the same with what these companies pay them
And I gave a simple answer. It's all well and good to say we should "make" companies start paying their employees "fairly", but how do you do that when, if you have to pay some one in Bangladesh $1.50 an hour, there are guys in Nigeria who will do it for 80c an hour? The marketplace determines what a fair rate of pay for these workers is and if these workers choose to interfere with the company's prime responsibility, which is to maximise the profit it returns to its investors, by demanding more money, then the company has a sworn duty to find a better contract. So poor old Tahmid and his family are thrown out of the mean streets of Dacca, but things are looking up for Adewale, who now has a job and may be able to move from his lean t on a smouldering garbage mound in downtown Lagos. What you're proposing sounds dangerously like socialism. And everybody knows that's a crock :-)
I'm losing weight and as I'm falling in between sizes, Alain Dupetit has been a godsend. Disposable suits and disposable sizes that I know I'm not going to keep for more than a year? PERFECT.
Started working in jewelry after leaving construction :’) Bought some suits from Madison, Express, CK, Ralph Lauren, MK, etc but after seeing what I’d make at my new job (not a whole lot btw lol) I had to figure out how to get new suits. I hadn’t purchased any in MONTHS bc of my other primary things. But I knew I needed more. We can only dress in suit & tie for work. So I’m pretty excited to purchase one from here and see how that goes 👀
The best part of this was you flipping out over it not being grey. Anyway, you should just donate that or find a place that gives suits to people getting their lives back together or starting a career. I’m sure they’d appreciate it.
Reminds me of my youth, with the Johnny Carson suits! Inexpensive, and usually sold in places like Sears. I remember a local Pittsburgh television man, Jack Etzel used to talk about them, and other "cheap" suits/clothing, stating that everything looked great on TV. And in photographs. You can't tell if they are good quality until you touch them, and wear them, or see them up close.
You should do a series on the best cheap suit for under $150 (or wherever you decide to set the bar) Some people know that they are only going to wear a suit one time (weddings and such)...or at least very few times.
This is an interesting option for times when the weather is awful or you are riding the dirty public transport and don't have a need / want to wear your better suits. I will buy these with the intent they will be considered useable / disposable knowing my better suits will remain fresher for a longer period of time. Thanks for calling out this product
I'm in a local rock band and would like to wear different suits on stage. I can't really afford to buy 5-6 suits and thought these might be perfect for our 30-45 minute sets. Would you agree that they would hold up for a few shows in a smokey environment? Thanks!
Rich DeFinis I wear one of these on gigs. The jacket is hot on stage, and it doesn’t move well with you because of its fused construction, but the slacks are fine. It’s a functional beater suit that you won’t feel bad about getting funky in, even after load-out. But if you want to play something like guitar with the jacket on, it might feel awkward.
i have 2 of these alain suits. They are fair enough for the price. I use them for field service as i dont want to wear an expensive suit just to destroy it. Its 37 bux for a decent enough suit. What did yall expect
Your Ohdee'ing Bro, That suit looks great on you man, it just needs to be tailored. I'm on a fixed budget, guess I found a nice product. "One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure".
I like to dress up when I go out, but I don't like risking getting drinks spilled on suits at the bar. They might not be good for a classy event, but do you think these suits are good enough quality to wear to the bar?
@Selim Sultan Akbar that is wrong. If you're suit cost $1000 then that is mostly customer and the quality is definitely higher. The thing is you're doing a review now comparison so you shouldn't be comparing but talking about the specific qualities of that suit.
Short while ago off eBay got a Brooks Brothers 1818 charcoal grey pinstripe for $39 with shipping (doing a couple alterations myself so total cost). Super hard finding my size so when saw a good deal that fit, snapped up until can afford MTM. Even then, this can be a suit that I wear without fear. Point is, if willing to do the research on which brands and willing to wait, amazing deals can be found. Hope this helps.
I'm a big boy so for me it was beneficial to find a suit my size at a cheap price. I ordered the cheap suit tech suit, which was comfortable and well fitting. it was a little shiny being it is polyester but no too bad. I will comment again once the tailor returns it and i get to wear it.
This is totally worth the time. I mean, how many out there see those ads and wonder. Maybe they are pressed to have a suit, but, just don't have the funds. Clearly,this is practically a one and done kind of garment. I believe that saving those pennies up for something much nicer, with better fabrics and construction pays off in the long run. Sometimes, you don't have a choice. I do like how this review was put together and edited. It was very good how you really got those close ups of the issues, while talking out your feelings about the suit This was dynamic and flowed very well. Nice job.
I bought 2 suits in their suite tech fabric. I was happy with cut and feel but the black one was very shinny and cheap looking. the one i got in grey was nice and i got many complements. I just ordered one in wool navy i'll let you know how it feels..
I just purchased the two button black suittech suit from Alain Dupetit. I have other suits to include a black pinstripe Ralph Lauren suit, Stacy Adams and Calvin Klein suits. I wanted a solid black suit for my “Men In Black” look. Mission Accomplished. $39 is definitely a cheap suit, but the reality is guys wear suits like casual clothes today. Will definitely wear with my black and white nikes and wear with my black Steve Madden or my cognac Stacy Adams. When it’s time to retire the suit, money well spent.
Seems like a great suit if you're going to use it as part of a costume, especially if you're going to get drunk out of your mind but you don't want to risk ruining a decent suit.
Actually that is the gray one. I one the same suit. Notice when he laid it out, it was gray. It does come off darker on camera and the lighting in the room does have an effect
I have black security guard pants from Quartermaster (made of polyester) that has held up very well for the past year and a half. Wear them both for my role as an associate pastor (which as a Lutheran minister, I wear a clerical shirt) as well as a personal care aide. May have to look into this type of suit for the winter months when it gets cold in Pennsylvania. And thankfully, they have big & tall sizes (pant size 56R; will go up a pant size for comfort purposes).
These suit really fit my body well. And, they don't even need to be sent to the dry cleaners. Those suits are extremely easy to wash and oddly durable. To be honest, they are not bad at all. For my budget, they work really great....and they are not as bad as this dude says they are.
I also saw this on Instagram and ordered one in black and at least thats true to color. It works for that party or wedding you just need to look good/ok for.
Derek Nolt what's the material like? I once bought a cheap suit whose material is too thick and kinda makes it obvious that it is a cheap suit. In your opinion, is it ok to buy this for office use?
Its not super thick but is a little stiff and not the most comfortable thing. I would say its not the best if it is a upscale office. I feel like it would probably be ok if you want to look presentable but not to impress. It looks and feels just like the cheap Christmas/snowflake suit I got for a party if that helps at all.
Derek Nolt thank you very much for the prompt reply, it really helped me. I think I'm gonna pass this opportunity to buy it. Yes, stiff is exactly the word I was looking for. The cheap suit I bought is stiff, not thick. Thanks again. Cheers
Thank you for your review! I'm more of a finer suit guy myself, but may grab one of these in a more unique color just to try something different. I'm curious if you've heard of Gulati Bespoke Tailors in Bangkok. I got 2 suits from them back in 1998 and they still fit like a glove and look brand new. I am amazed how well they have held up after 22 years (and it helps that my height and weight are both unchanged). I'm looking to get a couple new, nicer suits and may get another from them as they still have my measurements on file. Oliver Wicks you mentioned is a company I'll take a look at as well.
I'm just getting into suits and cant afford 100+ on a suit. But what are the advantages of a 1000+ suit? I'm a size 50 so its insanely hard to find a suit that fits me from thrift stores the only jacket I've found is a little big on me :/
I just got a brown AD suit. It was $29. $46 with shipping. It's Suitech fabric. Supposedly it was on sale because it's going to be discontinued. I don't know what to think of it though, it's definitely my lowest quality suit. it was cheap so I wasn't expecting super awesome quality, so 🤔 I don't know if it's worth it but I guess I'll know once I actually wear it and see how I feel. One thing I know this is a good suit to practice my tailoring skills.
Reece Holland I personally own one, in charcoal gray, I’d recommend it if you can buy off the rack. Just pay attention to the size and fabric you choose
I once bought a sport jacket at H&M when I was in a pinch, it was on sale for $20.00 CAD, I still wear it to work with mix and match pants, but it's pretty much my "beater suit."
I mean it looks damn good on you though. For the cost you can't beat that price. I wanted something to wear to work that looks nice but doesn't break the bank gonna get mine in over the next few days.
So compared to renting for a wedding, how would you rate this? To me, it seems this would be much more affordable, better fit for my groomsman, and much less headache when it comes to returning them to the rental company. Also it's a January wedding, so trapping heat is a good thing.
I was told to buy one of these suits for a wedding as a groomsman. I have to say it doesn't feel bad. I've rented suits before and the fit sucks. At least this would be yours and you can havr it tailored, and adjusted. It pays itself off for sure.
You should show things like the lining, if any, in the pants. The stitching under the collar, the lining, under the lapel, the depth of the pockets. I'd love a more robust showing.
As someone else said they experienced this already. I bought one and I bought it per my normal size and even took measurements just be sure. Mine came in fitting almost two sizes smaller than advertised. I would not recommend buying one of these and the fabric is just meh as well. I don’t know what to do with it now because their return policy sucks and I’ll lose like half my money.
just got a charcoal 3-piece for 69 bucks! tried it on... its light for sure, hangs straight out of the box. on my way to my tailor now to get it fitted and hemmed. Found this link rmthe day after i spent 600 in brookes brothers. Def looks good for an everyday suit.
I've seen worse suits for 100$, for literally 37$ ( a Tommy Hilfiger t-shirt costs more than 40$) I have to admit this is pretty great. The fit is pretty average (definitely not bad compared to other random men you see on the streets)
This suit sounds good to me because I'm very hard on my suits. I do all kinds of work stuff in my suits at times getting wet or dirty so they have to hold up well being washed and pressed at home
Thank you for reviewing this. I am in the market for a suit and am (as most people watching reviews if cheap products, on a top Ramen budget. U was debating either this suit or the macys.com 140 Kenneth Cole suit. Any thoughts?
I came across these suits a few months ago. I have yet to decide if I want to order one. I feel that if I were to buy one it would be in a more risky pattern that I would wear prob a few times a year rather than a color I would wear regularly.
lennyd44 great question. I live in Florida and I find it very comfortable for a hot climate. But the suit I got from them was the Suit Tech fabric as apposed to the TR fabric he got. Here’s a link to their website that explains all the fabrics they offer alaindupetit.com/collections/our-fabric
LOL the shade thrown towards fashion watches. I think their target demographic are teenagers or young adults that needed formal wear for that special occasion few times a year. DEFINITELY not for professionals.

Said the same a moment ago (you were first). Exactly. Worth it for a one or two time wearing
Might be good for someone losing weight too. You might need something to wear at an in-between weight until you get to your final size.

It is fucking absurd for a five star restaurant to require an employee to wear a suit every day and pay them $10 an hour.
Couldn't blame you in the slightest,that's a good thing that there is really cheap suit like this on the market just for this reason alone

Anyway, you should just donate that or find a place that gives suits to people getting their lives back together or starting a career. I’m sure they’d appreciate it.
+Edward Alcantara yes there's a local company I have been giving clothes to. Try to give back wherever I can
Wow, I guess if you need a suit for an occasion the price is right. No sense in spending $300 for something that's going to sit in the closet.
Reminds me of my youth, with the Johnny Carson suits! Inexpensive, and usually sold in places like Sears. I remember a local Pittsburgh television man, Jack Etzel used to talk about them, and other "cheap" suits/clothing, stating that everything looked great on TV. And in photographs. You can't tell if they are good quality until you touch them, and wear them, or see them up close.
You should do a series on the best cheap suit for under $150 (or wherever you decide to set the bar)
Some people know that they are only going to wear a suit one time (weddings and such)...or at least very few times.
This is an interesting option for times when the weather is awful or you are riding the dirty public transport and don't have a need / want to wear your better suits. I will buy these with the intent they will be considered useable / disposable knowing my better suits will remain fresher for a longer period of time.
Thanks for calling out this product
Real review starts at 7:45
Raphael Wilwayco lol
That made me laugh. I would not have lasted watching it that long without your comment.
I'm in a local rock band and would like to wear different suits on stage. I can't really afford to buy 5-6 suits and thought these might be perfect for our 30-45 minute sets. Would you agree that they would hold up for a few shows in a smokey environment? Thanks!
Rich DeFinis I wear one of these on gigs. The jacket is hot on stage, and it doesn’t move well with you because of its fused construction, but the slacks are fine. It’s a functional beater suit that you won’t feel bad about getting funky in, even after load-out. But if you want to play something like guitar with the jacket on, it might feel awkward.
i have 2 of these alain suits. They are fair enough for the price. I use them for field service as i dont want to wear an expensive suit just to destroy it. Its 37 bux for a decent enough suit. What did yall expect
Your Ohdee'ing Bro, That suit looks great on you man, it just needs to be tailored. I'm on a fixed budget, guess I found a nice product. "One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure".
I like to dress up when I go out, but I don't like risking getting drinks spilled on suits at the bar. They might not be good for a classy event, but do you think these suits are good enough quality to wear to the bar?
He’s comparing it to a $1k suit .....
Selim Sultan Akbar like a 300 suit
@Selim Sultan Akbar that is wrong. If you're suit cost $1000 then that is mostly customer and the quality is definitely higher. The thing is you're doing a review now comparison so you shouldn't be comparing but talking about the specific qualities of that suit.
When you're spoiled.
How would you compare these suits versus H&M, Mens Wearhouse and S&K?
3:25 or there abouts: the only part I needed to know. If it's what I'm getting at Macy's I'm gonna save the money
Short while ago off eBay got a Brooks Brothers 1818 charcoal grey pinstripe for $39 with shipping (doing a couple alterations myself so total cost). Super hard finding my size so when saw a good deal that fit, snapped up until can afford MTM. Even then, this can be a suit that I wear without fear. Point is, if willing to do the research on which brands and willing to wait, amazing deals can be found. Hope this helps.
I'm a big boy so for me it was beneficial to find a suit my size at a cheap price. I ordered the cheap suit tech suit, which was comfortable and well fitting. it was a little shiny being it is polyester but no too bad. I will comment again once the tailor returns it and i get to wear it.
pete rodriguez wear it yet?
pellem38 i wore it. Fits great.
How’s it held up?
Thanks, Pete. I'm a bigger guy and need some decent looking suits for occasional wear (work stuff). Do you think this passes as not too tacky?
Bought 10 Suittech suits and they’re comfy, easy to clean and super cheap at around $35 a pop
This is totally worth the time. I mean, how many out there see those ads and wonder. Maybe they are pressed to have a suit, but, just don't have the funds. Clearly,this is practically a one and done kind of garment. I believe that saving those pennies up for something much nicer, with better fabrics and construction pays off in the long run. Sometimes, you don't have a choice.
I do like how this review was put together and edited. It was very good how you really got those close ups of the issues, while talking out your feelings about the suit This was dynamic and flowed very well. Nice job.
I bought 2 suits in their suite tech fabric. I was happy with cut and feel but the black one was very shinny and cheap looking. the one i got in grey was nice and i got many complements. I just ordered one in wool navy i'll let you know how it feels..
How is the wool suit?
I have one. I rarely wear a suit so i bought one. Had it tailored it works for me!
I just purchased the two button black suittech suit from Alain Dupetit. I have other suits to include a black pinstripe Ralph Lauren suit, Stacy Adams and Calvin Klein suits. I wanted a solid black suit for my “Men In Black” look. Mission Accomplished. $39 is definitely a cheap suit, but the reality is guys wear suits like casual clothes today. Will definitely wear with my black and white nikes and wear with my black Steve Madden or my cognac Stacy Adams. When it’s time to retire the suit, money well spent.
Seems like a great suit if you're going to use it as part of a costume, especially if you're going to get drunk out of your mind but you don't want to risk ruining a decent suit.
I was seeing these ads lately and I was curious about the product. Thanks for the informative video.
order another one - NAVY and see if they send you GRAY!
Maybe french gray is different. Idk.
Actually that is the gray one. I one the same suit. Notice when he laid it out, it was gray. It does come off darker on camera and the lighting in the room does have an effect
I have black security guard pants from Quartermaster (made of polyester) that has held up very well for the past year and a half. Wear them both for my role as an associate pastor (which as a Lutheran minister, I wear a clerical shirt) as well as a personal care aide. May have to look into this type of suit for the winter months when it gets cold in Pennsylvania.
And thankfully, they have big & tall sizes (pant size 56R; will go up a pant size for comfort purposes).
These suit really fit my body well. And, they don't even need to be sent to the dry cleaners. Those suits are extremely easy to wash and oddly durable. To be honest, they are not bad at all. For my budget, they work really great....and they are not as bad as this dude says they are.
I just bought a few more suits. Shipping was quick and quality is great.
I also saw this on Instagram and ordered one in black and at least thats true to color. It works for that party or wedding you just need to look good/ok for.
Derek Nolt what's the material like? I once bought a cheap suit whose material is too thick and kinda makes it obvious that it is a cheap suit. In your opinion, is it ok to buy this for office use?
Its not super thick but is a little stiff and not the most comfortable thing. I would say its not the best if it is a upscale office. I feel like it would probably be ok if you want to look presentable but not to impress. It looks and feels just like the cheap Christmas/snowflake suit I got for a party if that helps at all.
Derek Nolt thank you very much for the prompt reply, it really helped me. I think I'm gonna pass this opportunity to buy it. Yes, stiff is exactly the word I was looking for. The cheap suit I bought is stiff, not thick. Thanks again. Cheers
Does it look shiney?
Thank you for your review! I'm more of a finer suit guy myself, but may grab one of these in a more unique color just to try something different. I'm curious if you've heard of Gulati Bespoke Tailors in Bangkok. I got 2 suits from them back in 1998 and they still fit like a glove and look brand new. I am amazed how well they have held up after 22 years (and it helps that my height and weight are both unchanged). I'm looking to get a couple new, nicer suits and may get another from them as they still have my measurements on file. Oliver Wicks you mentioned is a company I'll take a look at as well.
I'm just getting into suits and cant afford 100+ on a suit. But what are the advantages of a 1000+ suit? I'm a size 50 so its insanely hard to find a suit that fits me from thrift stores the only jacket I've found is a little big on me :/
The suit doesn't looks bad, however I am from Jamaica and seeking suits to sell in my online store, how could I acquire one of these?
What do you think of the dress shirt? Is it worth the price?
Glad to see someone else who shares my hobby.
I just got a brown AD suit. It was $29. $46 with shipping. It's Suitech fabric. Supposedly it was on sale because it's going to be discontinued. I don't know what to think of it though, it's definitely my lowest quality suit. it was cheap so I wasn't expecting super awesome quality, so 🤔 I don't know if it's worth it but I guess I'll know once I actually wear it and see how I feel. One thing I know this is a good suit to practice my tailoring skills.
Did you order a regular or slim fit?
Could you review the 100% wool suit?
You might need your eyes checked, that is charcoal grey and definitely not navy haha. Great video
Isaac Lopez it’s super dark grey. Def not navy but not charcoal either
Nah its Charcoal grey for sure.
Actual I see Navy too
Yea i truly appreciate his honest opinion
I have heard a lot of people say these suits are decent. Would you recommend me these for a guy who only wears a suit once or twice a month?
Reece Holland I personally own one, in charcoal gray, I’d recommend it if you can buy off the rack. Just pay attention to the size and fabric you choose
I own two and am ordering more. Most definitely worth it.
I was thinking about buying their 3 piece pinstripe suit for Halloween, doing an Al Capone thing
Liam totally worth it
Poor mans 100 percent polyester suits. I'm broke so I bought 3 over a period of 6 months. It's all I can afford right now.
How would you compare this to a Marchetti suit?
I once bought a sport jacket at H&M when I was in a pinch, it was on sale for $20.00 CAD, I still wear it to work with mix and match pants, but it's pretty much my "beater suit."
I mean it looks damn good on you though. For the cost you can't beat that price. I wanted something to wear to work that looks nice but doesn't break the bank gonna get mine in over the next few days.
Lol this one of the best videos ever Jon, thank you for taking one for the team, I'm always curious about these crazy ads
I wonder whether your review would be different if you are told it costs 500 Most reaction is psychological
Debatable
Hmmm I was thinking the exact same thing.
Lmao, Auto captions heard Alain Dupetit as Elaine Boopity
For $40 it dosent look half bad. But materials are a big thing for me when it comes to suits and shoes:)
Ill stick with my suit supply
So compared to renting for a wedding, how would you rate this? To me, it seems this would be much more affordable, better fit for my groomsman, and much less headache when it comes to returning them to the rental company. Also it's a January wedding, so trapping heat is a good thing.
I was told to buy one of these suits for a wedding as a groomsman. I have to say it doesn't feel bad. I've rented suits before and the fit sucks. At least this would be yours and you can havr it tailored, and adjusted. It pays itself off for sure.
You should show things like the lining, if any, in the pants. The stitching under the collar, the lining, under the lapel, the depth of the pockets. I'd love a more robust showing.
How long it takes to ship the suit and receive it ?
@Thankyou3403 : It took 10 days .
As someone else said they experienced this already. I bought one and I bought it per my normal size and even took measurements just be sure. Mine came in fitting almost two sizes smaller than advertised. I would not recommend buying one of these and the fabric is just meh as well. I don’t know what to do with it now because their return policy sucks and I’ll lose like half my money.
so compared to the Jos. A Bank Travelers collection suit (I believe that is their $200-$300 Price range) how does this compare?
How does it compare to Express’s suit?
Well, how has it held up after ten months?
Higher Light do u think he wore it again after this review? 😂
You mentioned your "custom suit suppliers". Which ones do you use?
just got a charcoal 3-piece for 69 bucks! tried it on... its light for sure, hangs straight out of the box. on my way to my tailor now to get it fitted and hemmed. Found this link rmthe day after i spent 600 in brookes brothers. Def looks good for an everyday suit.
I've seen worse suits for 100$, for literally 37$ ( a Tommy Hilfiger t-shirt costs more than 40$) I have to admit this is pretty great. The fit is pretty average (definitely not bad compared to other random men you see on the streets)
What brand of shoes did you wear in this video? Jay butler?
This suit sounds good to me because I'm very hard on my suits. I do all kinds of work stuff in my suits at times getting wet or dirty so they have to hold up well being washed and pressed at home
Are there any other sites you would recommend for suits such of this type?
Only question a suit from dupetit w/ tailoring OR scavenge thrift stores for a suit that will NEED to be tailored
What is your opinion of men’s wearhouse?
I used to have this suit but now I thrown it out and now bought a luxury Suitsupply suit and now I'm more happier
So you would put the quality of this suit on the same level with suits from Men's Warehouse and Belk's or Macy's?
Lower
Thank you for reviewing this. I am in the market for a suit and am (as most people watching reviews if cheap products, on a top Ramen budget. U was debating either this suit or the macys.com 140 Kenneth Cole suit. Any thoughts?
What would you recommend for a suit ranging from $400-$500?
Oliver wicks
I came across these suits a few months ago. I have yet to decide if I want to order one. I feel that if I were to buy one it would be in a more risky pattern that I would wear prob a few times a year rather than a color I would wear regularly.
Great review, Was just wondering if anyone can name the shirt this gentleman is wearing? Thanks
My friend is looking for suits for gis wedding and trying to get it in bulk for his groomsmen as well. Would this be a good option
I can find a 100% Italian jacket that probably cost $300-400 originally at my local Goodwill for $6.
If I get minor tailoring and resew the buttons, there's literally nothing else wrong with it.
From what you're showing it not navy. It's a dark shade of charcoal grey.
thank you for a honest in depth review, i think it's made more for a teenager young adult. Excellent video great job my friend.
Ya you might need your eyes checked. When you layer it down for the close up, it’s clearly a grey suit.
Warren Rhinerson How was the suit in a hot climate? Doesn't seem like this fabric breathes well
lennyd44 great question. I live in Florida and I find it very comfortable for a hot climate. But the suit I got from them was the Suit Tech fabric as apposed to the TR fabric he got. Here’s a link to their website that explains all the fabrics they offer alaindupetit.com/collections/our-fabric
How long did it take to get it once ordered?
Yeah, a full cheap suit is risky if you want to look and feel good. But a cheap stylish jacket for everyday use might be ok.
LOL the shade thrown towards fashion watches.
I think their target demographic are teenagers or young adults that needed formal wear for that special occasion few times a year. DEFINITELY not for professionals.
is the material on your $37 suit shiny?
The442nd not really. I own one,
Hi kavalier bro I’m 5’9 160 pound my and west 32 what suit you recommend me bro I thing 36s30w will fit me and I love what you doing bro keep doing I’m empress with this suit
