Bros,
Every man knows that a suit should fit on a man like a form-fitting latex glove. Just like the one on that doctor's hand who gave you a colonoscopy last month. Suits can be expensive. Yes, I do have a few throw-away Brioni's that I take out east every weekend but there is neither here nor there.
Whether an analyst, associate, or any shade of asshole, sometimes you don't want to drop a casual 4k on a suit just because it's Thursday night and your fantasy baseball team played well. However, just like that cougar you met in Amagansett last week there is a time in a man's like where you take life by the reigns and say, 'fuck it.' No, that does not mean booking a last minute trip to Yacht Week, although it is highly recommended.
I forewarn those of you who are feign of heart - the news I am about to share is quiet possible the single most important event of August 2016.
The day is upon us. An event only comparable to when Bruce Willis stayed behind in Armageddon to blow up the meteor. "Oh that was just a movie," they say. Bullshit. Bruce Willis sacrificed himself for humanity and you better be thankful each and every day for that. RIP Bruce Willis.
Without further adieu - Men's Warehouse has announced their tri-annual 'Summer Sale.' That's right - you can now buy 8 unwearable suits for just $89.95. Not enough value for you? They'll throw 6 shirts, 12 ties, 3 shoe horns and a $20 gift certificate to Halal Guys.
Happy Friday gentlemen.

Fist bump
Bump up the jams
Would these be good for a travel suit.
When you travel do you buy those $200 dollar suit carriers, fold it in your carry on, or pay to place it in a full size luggage.
Okay, there is a reason why this question is hard to answer. Many people have various different budgets and money available to them. I think investing in a good fitting clothes is quite important. Good suits are available at Men's Warehouse and other various outlets. I can also recommend Brook-Brothers and Ralph Lauren/Armani is my go to for a nice occasion. Once again, figure out what you can afford. I would rather have 4-5 excellent suits than 8-9 Good- Medium Average ones.
Need a decent looking/fitting suit ASAP (Originally Posted: 03/15/2012)
My first banking bonus has finally hit my savings account. As I begin looking for other employment opportunities, I now realize that I am severely lacking a suit that I didnt get from Macy's.
Where would you guys recommend looking? Keep in mind Im currently in Charlotte.
Also, what color/pattern would you guys recommend? Is solid navy the way to go?
Have any of you had luck buying suits from Indochino or something similar? I have some Indochino shirts that came out pretty good.
Oh my god. Stay away from those online suit makers. Construction must be utter shit or the material is crap.
Congrats on the bonus. Spoil yourself a little and go get 2 Canali suits. It'll never be out of style and will serve you for the next 5 years well.
As for color, go for a solid navy and solid grey.
Black Label. About $1,600 per
I remember someone in WSO Chat talking about a tailor with branches all over the US that puts your measurements on file. Not sure what the quality is like but it sounded promising. Anybody know their name?

bonus, its about time. getting mine tomorrow. finally.
You must be at WF, then? It hit the bank a day early, FYI
suitsupply
Zegna.
Seville Row, London.
Take a plane up to Heathrow, get fitted, then get it sent to you in a few days. Made to your measurements. You can be in and out of London in 3 hours.
I have friends who really like suitsupply but there aren't any locations inthe U.S. outside of manhattan to my knowledge. You can order online though and I believe their return policy is good. Worth checking out.
It earnestly comes down to how much you are looking to spend. Assuming you are relatively athletic, slim and are looking to drop a sizable amount on a suit, I know very few people who are disappointed with the Ralph Lauren Black Label suits (+$1,600). That being said, some other suits at that price point that makes excellent suits are Canali, Pal Zileri and Paul Smith. If you are hoping to spend less, brands worth taking a look at are Suitsupply and Brooks Brothers. North of $2,000 there are simply too many brands to mention.
In terms of color, I'd highly recommend a dark charcoal and a dark navy blue. Both those colors will serve you well in a plethora of situations.
RL Black Label suits are great, and I own a couple...however one thing about them is that they arent the sturdiest suits of all time...i find that they are a bit "finer" and wear out quickly. At a similar price point I like Paul Stuart Phineas Cole line (which is their slim fit line). To me they are similar fit but tend to hold up better.
If this is your only suit then definitely start with Navy or Charcoal.
Hugo Boss makes really nice suits for about $700-800 if you're looking to spend a little less. I'm still poor so I picked one up for interviews and SA stuff and it's pretty sharp.
hugo is crap. avoid fused suits
Charcoal or Navy Ralph Lauren Black Label. They're absolutely fantastic. I tried one on at the RL store just today and the fit was simply amazing with no alterations whatsoever. You definitely won't be disappointed.
Affordable, yet decent looking: can't beat Brooks Brothers.

Need a Suit ASAP (Originally Posted: 11/01/2011)
My suit for interviews etc. is currently somewhere 2 hours away but my MD from my last internship asked me to go to an investment symposium at a BB in NYC at the last minute.
I'm about 5 hours away from NYC in the direction away from where my suit is. The event starts at 8:30 and I really need to get a suit somehow for this event. Any ideas?
Supposedly someone will be there waiting for me but he is also aware that I might be late because I have to travel.
Is it possible to rent a suit at like, 730am in the morning?
call one of your analyst classmates right now and borrow one
God damn. Good luck with that.
Pretty sure theres a lot of places where you can rent a nice(ish) suit. I'd assume they open at the same time as all the other shops.
