Sartorial advice - where do people get their sport coats / trousers from. Not a lover of suits so tend to do a combo. Any tips welcome. Also don’t want to spend the earth 👍

I am a pretty big fan of suit supply.

Best advise is find a good local, custom person. Should be able $1-1.5k for a sport coat, $200 for a custom shirt, and $300 for trousers and cheaper for chinos

Whatever you do make sure to get it tailored so the sleeves are correct length and your pants the same. Too many people ignore this and it makes a nice suit/sport coat/pants look like crap because you’re not concientious enough to care.

Oxxford or Belvest for the good stuff. Spier and Mackay is solid for cheaper/more disposable.

You’re a partner. Spend the money, get measured, and pick a high quality brand.

Don’t skimp on shoes…it will show most. Buy proper welted shoes which cost at least a few $100

I just ordered pants and shirts from Luca Faloni. Bit more business casual but like the quality and fit so far. Fast shipping and i think free returns.

I second this. Luca Faloni is great. I either get my stuff from there, or I get it tailored.

Custom. 8.

Divij bespoke is great and in the lower end for measured jackets, pants and shirts. They do trunk shows on many big US cities. Great quality and value. $1-1.5k for a sports coat

Find a tailor in your city and buy custom, honestly it is worth it

I work with a bespoke tailoring shop (so fully custom tailoring not made-to-measure). 90% of my suits / trousers / sport coats are Zegna and Scabal. The other 10% are from Carnet, especially for flannel like winter materials they are my favourite. For shirts I will only choose Thomas Mason…really top quality and insane choice. I live in north-western europe if this info helps in any way

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job.

I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
