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 You need to have an eye for relatively modern cuts so you donāt pick up something from the 80s thatās way out of date. Other than that this is the best hack for a great high quality wardrobe without spending a fortune. Iāve 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. Whatās your price range?
Think Iād be willing to spend a G, give or take. Would definitely want to get something tailored as Iām 6ā5, 215 and probably not going to find something that fits well off the deck

Seconded. Fit like a dream, especially for broad shoulders and slimmer mid section.

I switched to custom tailored with Tom James and it is a night an day difference. I received more compliments on my clothing in the first 60 days than the 5-years before that.
If you are in Chicago, send me a DM and I can connect you with the guy who runs their office and he will get your partnered with someone.
I've got a handful from MW and JAB that have worked quite well since my SC days. I've never seen the need to buy high dollar ones.
