I have stores near me, but since I now know my size (38R) I typically order online. That doesn't really bother me, but I'm not 100% convinced that would make me look better. May I ask whether you have a store available to you, or whether you feel comfortable ordering online? (I.e., that they are true to size?) It also appears that the Lazio suit - the only one available in 38L AND within the $399 price range - has some wider than average lapels. Legitimately glad to hear from another attorney, and the Suit Supply recommendation is appreciated. But as your experience shows, you can do just fine for yourself at lower price points! suits that go for double the price even on sale. IMO, they are the best value at their price point ($399 for the basic line), equal in quality to Brooks Bros. Fellow attorney here, and a Suit Supply guy myself. Time will tell, but I doubt I'll regret my decision, and I will definitely be checking back with their clearance section online to fill out my wardrobe a bit more. I will also note that the "signature" is technically "tailored" fit, whereas the 1905 is technically "slim." The only difference I can see is that the tailored appears to have slightly wider lapels than the slim - the fit is pretty close.Īll of this is to say that, when push came to shove, I was too damn cheap to spend $399 (or $499, depending on the cut) for a suit from Suit Supply when I could have something that felt adequate at Jos. Regardless, it seems to meet my needs, but I'm still having the pants hemmed. I'm not knowledgeable enough to really feel the difference between that and the 1905, but I understand that it is supposedly somewhat better. I purchased one of their "signature" suits on clearance for $168. Banks's clearance offers can be sorted by size, which means I don't have to search around obnoxiously through every suit. It isn't, and it's great to be wearing a suit that fits. One thing I realize now is that I've been compromising on fit for years just because department stores never carry my size and always tell me that a narrowly cut 40L is good enough. Like, not incredible by any means, but it fits great and is up to the task of going to court. The suit looks great and feels entirely adequate. I purchased one suit that was on "sale," which is sort of a constant state of being there. Bank as I suggested I would, and I found that their 38Ls are pretty dead on for me (helpfully, the pants they stock with those are ideal in the waist as well). Anyone have experience there? (They have recently gotten rid of their crazy "buy one get 20 suits free" or whatever they used to do, which I hope means that they are putting out better products these days.) Bank has some of their "1905 Suits" on sale for $199 for memorial day.
