Fiji ST Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Weird request, but I need to get a new suit for a wedding over Labor Day. I've always gone home to Pittsburgh to work with this awesome guy my dad goes to, but he's since retired. Anyone recommend a certain store/person to talk to? I don't really want to go to Men's Warehouse unless I absolutely have to. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleguy Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 For good quality and value I'd recommend going to a Nordstrom. For a good value, especially on sale, you can get a nice Hugo Boss suit made in the USA and they will tailor it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchi Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 You looking for a suit to wear 2-3 times a year for just special events ( like weddings ) or something you will be wearing more then that? Few places I can suggest but prices will vary a LOT depending on what you are looking to get out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 What's your budget? I use to score deals on nicer suits at DSW on sawmill road, then take the to be tailored to me. I've picked up $400-$500 suits there for $1xx Tickners is a great place, and you'll pay a bit to be a customer. I've never found what I like in department stores.

cstmg8 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I actually got great service at men's warehouse off Morse/easton. Huge range in price, and tailored to fit. I picked up a nice $650 Calvin Klein for a decent amount off a package price with shirt/belt/shoes/tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'll be wearing it a couple times a year, so I want to buy something that will look good and last for years. I don't mind spending the money for something high-quality. I probably won't get anything on sale as I've screwed myself and waited until the last minute to do something. I stopped by a Jos. A Bank and my god did they get expensive. I then went to Nordstroms as I found they carry Hart Schaffner Marx suits that I already have. Less expensive and I know the brand as I have one from 7 years ago that's holding up incredibly well. Will check out Ticknors and I didn't know DSW sold suits. I've had bad experiences with different Men's Warehouses over the years as well as a few friends of mine, so I really don't want to go there unless I have to like I said. *Oh, and it's really annoying to find the majority of suits are these slim fits. Don't they know the average American is a fat ass?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it a few weeks back and it felt weird asking for money off, but he did it without blinking an eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOxley Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Nordstrom's. It's perfect for guys that don't want to shop. They size you, then they pick out clothes within your budget. Costs nothing extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 For what it's worth, I have purchased several suits from Nordstrom's and have always had a good experience. I'm no suit guru, but they seem to have a nice selection, the prices aren't ridiculous, and the customer service has always been really good.

A Bank for cheap and Ticknor's for service. Side note but I ended up dating the stepdaughter of a guy from Ticknor's who sold me my suit for a little while :lolguy: he's not there anymore though.

Captain_Panic1647545539 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Having worked for jos a bank, I would recommend finding out your suit size, and ordering a nice suit off ebay, and have it tailored. Keep in mind that if the tailoring costs are around $50 or more, you are very likely in the wrong size suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm going out after work to check out some places and see what I can find. Thanks for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
