Date: July 3rd, 2012 10:04 AM Author: Fishy fiercely-loyal partner -bull shit sale 1818 suits are now 700 instead of 450. F that, ridiculous
-JAB shirts fit better. Thinner midsection and better large shoulder/chest fit (these are the traveler tailored fit, which are top rated by the wall street journal as the kindly salesman informed me)
-who cares if your $200 suit lasts half as long as your $700 suit? You come out ahead and the $200 suit may even look nicer. |

TCR is to get the slim fit, get it taken in even more around the waist (unless you're a fat slob), and enjoy getting a decent suit for $250.
I have a few of these but my job is biz formal. |

Hugo Boss's construction is objectively worse than BB and their styling is definitely a bit too 'modern', but if you don't care and are looking for a relatively cheap fashion suit, go with it. But if you like the slim cut thing and have some money to burn and want something that can be wearable for more than a couple years without looking dated, just do Zegna, bro.
I admit that suits aren't really something I know a lot about compared to other poasters here that are actually pretty sartorially aware. |
