Favorite brand of sport jacket? Want to invest in a good one. Willing to spend a bit on one nice one given I wear one so infrequently these days and donā€™t need more than one. Hoping to able partner in 1-2 years so I want to dress like one now.

Custom tailored is the way to go

Brand is not the big thing really - fit is . Year after year we see new partners splurge on top branded suits that don't fit well and it's not a good look .

If you can spend a little for a long term investment - get it tailored . Find the partners who wear well tailored suits in your office and ask them for a recommendation . It makes a big difference

Get one made by picking out fabrics in person. Mysuit has good selection

Look for high quality used on sites like Real Real - Isaia, Eton, Canali, etc. Then get them professionally tailored. You need to have an eye for relatively modern cuts so you donā€™t pick up something from the 80s thatā€™s way out of date. Other than that this is the best hack for a great high quality wardrobe without spending a fortune. Iā€™ve bought suits that would have cost $3-4k new for $300 and after $75 of tailoring they fit perfectly.

You can buy overstock new items from eBay. Usually the liquidators that buy excess inventory from Nordstrom and Saks.

Brand is much less important than fit. You get a really affordable jacket from custom shops that will look better than an off the rack jacket from something 2-3x the price. Whatā€™s your price range?

Think Iā€™d be willing to spend a G, give or take. Would definitely want to get something tailored as Iā€™m 6ā€™5, 215 and probably not going to find something that fits well off the deck

I recently moved into a new place that has windows with metal frames.
