Looking to buy a new suit, budget is around $800. Would love to buy a made to measure suit but know it might be difficult. Located in Northeast, any ideas where to go? (No Brook brothers, Endochino or Men’s warehouse)

Suit supply!

That's a solid budget. You can go to a Nordstrom and snag a Ted Baker with tailoring for around 750ish, depending if there's a sale or not. I'm in Philly and I got my Ted Bakers at the Nordstrom at the Cherry Hill Mall. There's no tax on clothes in NJ/PA.

Suit Supply did a great job for me in the past (atypical frame - needed made to measure)

It’s made to measure, and more importantly the guy who runs it knows how to measure for a suit. I haven’t really checked out suit supply before so I can’t compare, but prices are competitive imo

Suits get so beat up with travel. I just got a bunch of slimmer jos a bank ones and had them fully adjusted.

Agree, for that amount Nordstrom is the place to go. Not sure about others, but I feel like Jos A Banks' quality of material has gone down over the years, seems cheap for the price.

Macy’s or any department store generally has pretty great tailors who have been around a while in the suit department who will be very helpful in fitting and tailoring. You’re probably better off spending 400 on a suit and 200 on tailoring than 800 on a suit.

I don't know about Macy. Usually cheap blends. For that price range I'd go for a Nordstrom sale.

I just buy whatever fits decent off the rack (and on sale) then I take it to my tailor for finishing. I’ve never spent over $500 on a single suit.

Has anyone ever bought a custom suit from Suit supply?

Yes, it's my favourite suit. Custom tailored and everything. I think I paid 500-600

You could try Sene - I personally didn't like their standard fabric, but it may be worth a try for you, and they have a good return policy.

I know you said no to Indochino, but they have great quality, options and fit. Would reconsider if you are open to it

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not?
