What's the most that you would pay for an off the rack suit?

Once you hit/near $1k mark, you are essentially in the ballpark to get something custom made for you that will fit much better. Not pretending to be holier than thou, but in my experience once you go custom it's tough to go back. Obviously lots of great designers for OTR that you can heavily tailor though.

GS nailed it. No reason to pay over 1k for a non custom suit

I wouldn't pay more than $600, including any after-rack tailoring. I've got a suit guy who makes damn good suits for ~$1k. Perfect fit, last longer, exact style I want, better material. If I can get a good suit for $775 off the rack, why not spend a little more for perfect? I've still got two of the cheaper suits, and I'll wear them into the ground... but I'll probably never buy off the rack again.

If you have the body type for off the rack, go for it - you can get way nicer materials than you would for the equivalent priced custom suit. Know what can be tailored easily (sleeve length, trouser length, suit length) and what isn't worth it (shoulders). That being said, I top out at like $600 - Suitsupply fits me well and has half canvased suits which is great. Plus, contrary to popular belief, cheaper suits last longer because the wool isn't as fine (ex/ S110 or S120 versus a S150 wool). Learned this the hard way.

Hi all! I've got an SEO question I'm hoping someone can help with:
How do you choose keywords to target in a blog when you're writing a blog that appears on multiple country specific versions of a given website? Do you use a mix of keywords from each region/country in one blog, or create different versions of the same blog with slight keyword differences based on the country?
Feel free to DM me if you want! thanks in advance from an entry level content marketer. :)

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)

Thanks!
