I think it will be right around 600 w/ pants and jacket (although maybe slightly more) (depends on fabric).
You can have it shipped to you the next day.
I did this once when I was traveling and needed a suit two days later by surprise. It worked fine and I still wear it from time to time -- although the jacket sleeves are a little long for me (the perils of buying prefitted rather than getting something custom tailored) |

for less than $20 even the shittiest alterations bro can fix that |

Date: October 21st, 2014 12:33 PM Author: Boyish hilarious box office if you need one right now and cant wait...probably nordstrom rack or saks off fifth. do some research on style forums before you go.
suitsupply is also decent but they do carry some real clowny stuff along with good stuff.
of course the best answer is to wait until the day after Christmas and get a brooks brothers 1818 (probably in Fitzgerald or Milano if you are under 35) for half price. |

Date: October 21st, 2014 1:02 PM Author: bright hairraiser stag film dragon I'd normally troll for Suitsupply, but they're going to need a few days to tailor the suit and I've had some delays with their tailoring.
I'd suggest the J Crew suit since you can order the correct inseam on the pants and avoid any tailoring whatsoever.
If you're lifting, then check out their new Crosby line, which is not as slim fit and built for more athletic builds. |

Date: October 21st, 2014 2:12 PM Author: laughsome angry telephone factory reset button There's a Nordstrok rack about 25 minutes away. Do they have tailoring on site? (At least to hem the pant length) Any helpful reps? Mall with BB, Jcrew, etc only 10 minutes away and mall has a same day tailor even if the stores don't for some reason
Worth going to Nordstrom Rack? With BB/JCrew sounds like I can walk in and tell them exact suit I need. |

Date: October 21st, 2014 2:17 PM Author: Boyish hilarious box office Doubtful they have tailoring and if they do itll take weeks. Buy the suit and go straight to an asian. They all can do it ovrrnight, they just dont like to be hurried so youll have to hassle them and probably pay more. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2705780&forum_id=2#26559702) |
