Best Suits For A Tall Guy?
I'm about 6"4 and always have a hard time finding decent fitting suits, specifically the jacket length. I wear about a 37" shirt and even an Extra-Long jacket falls woefully short of my wrists. Very rarely is there enough fabric in the sleeves to let out to a sufficient length. Do any of you tall...
Is this a decent suit for the price?
Just looking online at the nordstrom sale and I found a John Varvatos suit and I personally have little to no knowledge in regards to what determines if a suit is worth the price. Any input would be appreciated. http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/john-varvatos-star-us…
For those of you looking for last minute suits
For those of you who were dumb-asses like myself and waited until after your SA gig started to look for suits, I found a diamond in the rough. Men's Warehouse (there are a few locations in the city) has a 2-for-1 that saved my wallet. I got two decent enough looking suits, a lot of tailoring done...
Any experience with these?

Men's Wearhouse?
I was wondering if the suits and other stuff they had here was worthwhile, and if so, what brands should I be looking into? I was looking to get a few starting out suits in the $500-700 range, and I want suits that will last me a while and I can wear in 10 years, instead of buying a bunch of cheap...

Suit Advice/Professional Image
Hey guys, was hoping for some insight and advice on suits as I am looking into new jobs at the moment. I don't believe a $1000 suit vs a $300 suit itself will either make or break a potential candidate as there are a lot of factors that come into play however I want to make sure that I am not...
Undone Functional Buttons?
I've seen people who leave the last sleeve button on a suit open. That seems like a pretty douchebag move in the office, but I suppose it could be useful at the club or whatever for attracting chicks with an attention to detail in their gold digging operations. Thoughts on the practice?...
Suit pants - How do you avoid this?
Whenever I walk in my very well tailored pants, the bottoms flail up and look a lot shorter than they actually are. The lengths only look normal when I'm standing straight. This is probably normal, but it really bothers me. Is it the quality of the suit? How do I avoid this? I'm assuming the only...
Suits from India?
I have an insanely rich uncle who has bragged on numerous occasions how he always stocks up on custom made suits whenever he makes business trips to Thailand. I've seen them myself and the quality is impeccable and he gets them for no more than $200 a pop. He even has Brioni tags thrown on (not...
How many suit jackets/blazers do I need to buy? (Intern on budget)
If I'm interning at a company with business formal dress code (except casual Fridays), how many suit jackets/blazers should I buy? And should I get mostly black so I can mix and match easily, or will that make me look like I'm wearing the same thing every day? Just to be clear, business formal means...

Foreign vs Domestic Suit Quality?
Hey WSO , Any suit connoisseurs want to comment on the quality of a suit made in places like China, HK , etc? Say I'm paying $200. Reason I ask is that I got a suit made in Shanghai, and it feels and fits great and everyone tells me it looks good, but I haven't worked in a BB and don't know anything...
Galante Suits?
I'm working with an image consultant and she bought me 3 Galante Uomo Suits. They all fit incredibly well compared to the Hugo Boss suits I used to wear but I'm suspicious.

Do you wear a tie everyday to work?
I personally would hate to wear a tie EVERY single day. Is wearing a tie the norm in the finance industry? I know a few places or regions where the lifestyle is very laid back and ties are not required unless you have to meet with a client or something. In my current job we have to dress nice but...
How many?
Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get into an IB next summer. One thing I'm not sure about dress-wise, is how many suits should an SA typically have? I'd rather spend more on fewer suits than less on crappier suits (that I'd despise wearing). Any thoughts?

How often do analysts wear suits to work?
Maybe once every other week if the dress code is typically business casual? Most of the analysts don't even wear ties to work (usually just slacks and dress shirts) where I'll be summering, and I was wondering if it's even worth it to buy another suit (I have one already that doesn't fit that great)...

So I'm getting a few suits made- normally I would go for super 110s or 120s merino wool...but my tailor is trying to convince me that the 150s and 180s (english wool and cashmere blend) are much finer quality. In your experience how do these finer fabrics pass the test of time? If you have 6 suits...

Suit Quality Advice
Monkeys. I am by no means a slave to fashion. My after-work wardrobe is mainly free t-shirts I got from credit card companies. So I'm not going after sartorial splendor here.

Business Attire in Non-IB Industries Comparison?
Hi, I'm kind of curious as to how business fashion differs (if at all) in other jobs such as corporate finance , accounting, etc. Based on what I've read, it seems like suits should be navy blue, grey, charcoal, or black w/ pinstripes, conservative ties, and dress shirts that are usually blue/white...
