Well I'm not going to wear it v often, and also like I can't even afford to spend $100 on a suit right now so $300 is a p big stretch and anything beyond that is completely not justifiable at this point in my life.

stevie when I'm home in a week I'll look at the suits I got from a thrift store this one time and if I can't wear 'em anymore you're welcome to have one or maybe more!

Maybe try for a vintage three piece on e-bay, then spend the majority of $$$ getting it tailored? A good tailor can work serious miracles. I mean they can basically rework a suit from scratch for a custom fit--pricey but better than spending the same money on a dad suit.

Oh quincie I was gonna ask if mr. Quincie looked at Indochino at all? It looks like they've got a few 3-pieces for sale!

it's so, SO weird to visit websites right now and get a bunch of Indochina ads on the side, just because my browser knows I was looking at this thread. i've seen multiple indochina ads over the past day or two, after never seeing one before in my life.

otm, even moreso if you have no idea what is up with that guy, he looks like jimmy barrett.
(& stevie d otm re: suit budgeting; i so seldom wear one that it could hold up for years just through lack of use)

He has not checked out Indochino, but I will correct that! You know how he said he "always pictured getting married in a three-piece suit?" He did! It is Hugo Boss and was pretty $$$, but he looked absolutely fantastic and has already gotten a couple of wears out of it (as I have with my red wedding dress). The suit is nice and trim--not big and boxy--grey with a a bit of burgundy uh windowpane or whatever you call it.

Omg I demand photos. Are there any on the faceypages?

Stevie :-D, Sunday, 18 December 2011 22:06 (twelve years ago) link

I believe there are some on the mister's. Three piece is just so CLASSY! You gotta do it, a three piece is PERFECT for you!
