So i need a new suit, and i'm torn because i don't know which way to go

Traditionally, i buy my suits from Moores (yes, i know i know) cause they're good everyday wear, for cheap.

These days, i don't wear suits at all (business casual), but i need formal wear for upcoming weddings, events, etc

I don't want to go back to moores (hell, they have 2 for 1 suits going on right now and i'm not interested)

my options are

a) ebay (anybody ever done this? i've seen lots of untailored suits on ebay, but i'm reluctant)

Holt / Harry and see what i can find, although i'm unsure what i'll find there and (my perception at the moment) fear that i'll be buying an overpriced Moores suit

c) Other small stores

d) buy off sufu / SF and get it altered

e) get one of those made to order suits based on my measurements.

Anybody shed any light as to which way to go?

I bought an APC suit off ebay for $300. When it arrived it fit in the shoulders and chest well, but the jacket was slightly long, the sleeves long, the pants baggy, and needing to be hemmed. I took it to http://www.yelp.ca/biz/xavier-custom-tailors-toronto and told him what I wanted and I think the results were really impressive. I got tons of compliments on it at the wedding I attended. Pretty much as long as it fits in the shoulders, you can get whatever else altered.

Fit slim. Go with your normal size. That's the oxfords and madras shirts

Stuff like tokio seven or other chains like uniqlo?

thanks kindly

are the french redesigned feiyue's worth getting over the chinese originals which are about a third of the price. More comfy? Better construction?

thanks for the help with the suit, guys

@lmaozedong - i saw your suit and contemplated it....i just worry it might be too slim

also, i wear a 40L usually, so the jacket might be a bit short

i'll definitely have to look at all my measurements and make my decision from there

Just wondering if anyone can ID these floral print jeans? Lyle Lodwick in Cream Magazine. Thanx!

Also take a look at Shades of Gray (the Micah Cohen side). Suiting starts around $300 for jacket and pant, and the fits are pretty solid off the rack. Some minor tailoring and you're there.

Any suggestions on a lumbar bag? Want something that won't leave a huge fucking sweat patch on my back when I'm riding. Kind of feeling the new Head Porter ones but they look hella tiny

Petit standards in black stretch the same as the indigo raws?

Petit standards in black stretch the same as the indigo raws?

No. Same cut, different fabric. There is a noticeable difference in the weight and the way stretch denim ages and stretches out compared to raw denim.....depending on what percentage of stretch material is used in the mix.

Common Projects Achilles Low are amazing, they never seem to fall apart and they have a really classic & simple profile.
