r/malefashionadvice on Reddit: Suit recommendations - Nordstrom vs. Suit Supply? And other questions.
June 7, 2015 -

Going suit shopping tomorrow with my mom (lol). I'm in my mid 20's, work in finance, and need to really gear up my professional clothing because I'll be involved with fundraising soon (i.e. asking wealthy people for $$$). Current suit is like a $300 one from K&G superstore that I got a year ago.

I'm looking to spend maybe $2,000 to $3,000 (my mom will likely pitch in to help so it will depend on that haha hence why the range is that wide) on 2 or 3 suits, 3-5 shirts, and 2 pairs of shoes.

Down the road, I'd like to get into Tom Ford suits and the like, but definitely don't need that now.

I hear great things about Allen Edmonds all around for dress shoes? Any other recommended brands in the $200 to $400 range?

I was curious if anyone also had thoughts on Nordstrom vs Suit Supply for suits and/or dress shirts. All the old comparisons seem to be over 2-3 years old. Also, any thoughts on Nordstrom Rack?

I also read somewhere that Suit Supply suits are made in China. Is this true? Not sure how to interpret that, hopefully it's still high quality.

I also have a $250 gift card to Nordstrom/Nordstrom Rack (Xmas present from an uncle 3 years ago), so Nordstorm will likely be our first stop. Everything I buy will be tailored. My mom really wants me to get a super nice white dress shirt, so we may do Tom Ford for that and then go cheaper on the other colors, at least price wise.

Any/all recommendations welcome!

EDIT1 (May 9th)

I ended up getting a Brooks Brothers 1818 suit for the 2 for $1600 deal. They told me to hold off on the second one until the first one is done/tailored (will be about 3 weeks), and I can see how it looks/feels before picking the second one.

The one we got today looks amazing, it's like royal blue.

But we ran into a huge issue with shirts. I have arms that are disproportionately long for my body. I'm 6'2 with a 16 to 16.5" neck, but need 37 to 38" sleeve length on the shirts, otherwise the shirt sleeves are 1 to 2 inches too short. Only problem is that neck size and arm length combo has been almost impossible to find.

Brooks asked me to try Suit Supply, Nordstrom, and DXL. We also went to Tom Ford. At TF, I'd basically need to do a made to measure. Nordstrom's longest dress shirt length is 36", so I basically can't buy a shirt from there. I had mixed feelings about how the suit at Suit Supply fit.

So that basically only leaves me Neiman Marcus and DXL for shirts :-(. We will be going there on Wednesday.

Oh, and total budget for this is $3,000. My mom is chipping in $1500, and I'm putting in $1500.

The 2 suits will be like $1600, I gotta get the 2 Allen Edmonds shoes + 4-5 shirts and ties in for the remaining $1400. So We still haven't bought any shirts or anything else aside from this one suit.

EDIT2 (May 11th)

Ended up dropping about $1000 total ($1250 before discount, see next paragraph for explanation) for 2 pairs at the Allen Edmonds store, walnut and Oxford blood, including 2 matching belts, and shoe trees/polish, etc.

I had 5 AMEX cards that each had a "spend $250 at AE, get $50 off" so I bought 5 $250 gift cards and used them. Basically got 20% cashback.

Also, gonna likely go with MTM shirts from Brooks Brothers. Also got an MTM sport jacket from Q Clothier (across the street from Brooks and recommended by the BB salesman), that was about $1,000. Literally, Brooks, Suit Supply, AE, Q,etc. are all within a 50 foot radius of each other in this part of my town.

All in all, looks like I'll be spending about $4,000 total :-O. Still need the second suit and the multiple dress shirts and possibly another pair or two of dress shoes for the second suit. And still haven't used the $250 Nordstrom gift card haha.

I would get Allen Edmonds Park Avenues in black and a pair of Fifth avenues in brown or dark chili. You'll be set for pretty much any occasion and any suit.

For the suits, I would go to suitsupply (they are very high quality and are perfect for professional wear) and get a charcoal and a navy suit. I would start with just two and get them perfectly tailored. Possibly pick up a navy blazer as well (either from suitsupply or another place like Brooks Brothers or Jcrew), as well as some wool trousers in some version of gray (the trousers can come from many places, like Jcrew or other menswear retailers). Just make sure they are 100% wool and slim fitting.

For the dress shirts, I would go to Brooks Brothers and get a couple white slim fitting dress shirts (you should have multiple), as well as a light blue one. Possibly a striped shirt, if you have extra $$, but this isn't as important. Also, pick up a few ties at BB while your there.

If you really want to go all out on a dress shirt, I wouldn't get a "fashion" label like Tom Ford. Check out premium shirt designers like Gitman Brothers or New England Shirt Company. You will get much better quality for your money at those places.

Good Luck!

I think some people have said it but for American CBD (Conservative Business Dress, such as meeting wealthy clients for fundraising) the standard attire is BB 1818 suit in navy or charcoal (usually get 2 for 1600 or something) and Allen Edmonds shoes. 2 suits and 2 pairs of shoes should take you to approx $2000, then either get your shirts from BB or somewhere like Kamakura if you're based in NYC. Also budget for some solid conservative ties.

Not really. The cuts are all pretty poor, and the best looking suit has plastic in it. For quality suits that aren't horrifically priced, I'd check out Buck Mason. Lots of good more casual suiting, their linen stuff is very nice. They do have more formal options as well, tho those are more expensive (800-1000) Suit Supplies Roma cut is a good suit cut, also not too expensive relatively.

r/frugalmalefashion on Reddit: Nordstrom Rack - Good Affordable Suits!
February 27, 2016 -

I just went to Nordstrom Rack for the first time. I've been trying to shape up how I dress to be more business friendly and have more dress clothes in my wardrobe for a few reasons. I need to be presentable for meetings I'm in, plus, I feel comfortable in high-quality garments. They feel really, really, good against my skin.

I went into Nordstrom Rack, as my cousin mentioned she got some great discounts there. She went there with me. I found shoes I liked rather fast, I looked through all the dress shoes. I now officially own my first set of dress shoes. Penguin brand. They are rather attractive and fit my personality well.

While there, I noticed a sale rack full of suits. I looked at it and didn't find anything. So, I tried on the other suits they had (not on sale). One fit amazingly well. Felt like the best suit I ever wore. My cousin shows up and holds up a suit she found hidden behind some others on the rack. I tried it on. The jacket fits perfectly. It was a bit smaller, and it fit me perfectly. The cuffs jacket will not need to be tailored at all. The pants are too long, and Nordstrom offered to hem them for free tomorrow.

I paid $120 for a suit. A very high-quality suit. It's like nothing I own. All my other blazers now feel different. I was surprised how deep the retail markdown was. I checked Google for it. It was a huge discount. I got lucky.

I highly recommend going to Nordstrom Rack and checking out the clearance! Also, if you're in Central California and looking for a Calvin Klein suit, my local store has marked all Calvin Klein suits down to $149 that are size 40R and above. Sadly not my size :(

Unless it's Calvin Klein Collection, it's not "very high quality." In fact, I'm fairly certain it's CK's lowest quality line at most Nordstrom racks.

Just a heads up to OP... Macy's will very frequently have sales on their "designer" suits for about $100. Calvin Klein, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger, Kenneth Cole, Bar III and Alfani (their in-house brands).... If that's what you're looking for.

Hey All,

Looking for advice/opinions on which I should pick for a suit.

I need to buy a navy blue suit for an upcoming medical school interview and want any advice on which brand to look at and at which store? I picked up a Charcoal Bar III Suit today from Macys and now want to move a little up for the navy blue suit.

Looking to spend maybe between $600-700.

Hugo Boss from Nord any good?

Top answer

Boss suits aren't bad, you can always find them on discounts. I own a Boss Tux, a suit, and a sport coat, have for years. They aren't falling apart, look as good as new, and I always get compliments on them. The nice thing about Boss suits is that they do interesting things with their fabrics and cuts, which Brooks Brothers does not very often, except in their higher end lines, because it is a very conservative American label. That may be what you want for an interview though. My experience; I look at the models on the Brooks Brothers site and they look good, but whenever I've gone into their store I found that their cuts are for out of shape, stubby, older and less fashionable men. The arms on everything seem to be hemmed just a bit short and even their trim fitting cuts are like shapeless sacks off the rack. I stopped even walking into Brooks Brothers early this year after trying to find something for a reception I had to attend. A suit is about looking good, and if you don't look as good in a Brooks Brothers suit as some other brand, don't buy Brooks Brothers because the internet mob tells you it's a good value. All the OTR suits in your price range are going to have the same basic construction, the only significant differences are brand perception, cuts and material, and not necessarily the quality of material. The best advice I can give for your price, skip the online MTM crap and don't pay msrp. Go try on some suits from different labels in the store. Make notes of which designers and cuts fit you best, then go shop online. Check out gilt, myhabit, ruelala, bluefly, barneyswarehouse, etc. They have suit sales all the time and you can often find suits that normally retail in excess of $2,000 in your price range. If you know the suit, designer, your size and how it fits because you've tried it on in a store you can buy online with confidence, and take it to your local tailor. I've bought a few suits using this method and it's worked out absolutely fantastically. In fact writing this long post has me looking at some of these sites and I just found an awesome suit that I know works for me, MSRP $1600 available in my size for $499. You can get a great suit that not only looks sharp but is made with quality materials in your price range. You just need to know what you are shopping for. The label advice people give you on sites like this is pretty irrelevant. If you are spending $700 on a suit on Nordstrom, yeah you are getting a fused jacket, but it's not junk. Don't get caught up in the bullshit. Just find labels, cuts, colors, sizes, materials that you like and really work for you and then hunt for the bargain. EDIT: In case it wasn't clear, go to Nordstrom because they carry a wide array of decent labels besides Boss, the same ones you find on the sites I mentioned above; Paul Smith London, Canali, Zenga, Prada, Dolce and Gabbana, Armani, Hart Schaffner Marx, Hickey Freeman, Lanvin... Don't even concern yourself with the prices of the suits at Nordstrom, just act as if and try on everything. Make notes of what works, start shopping online.

Nordstrom's claims that the Rack is their clearance center of the retail stores. I haven't heard that they buy/manufacture specifically for the Rack.

They definitely buy for the Rack. They carry brands that never make it to Nordstrom, carry lines of brands that never get sold in Nordstrom, and have Nordstrom Rack branded dress shirts. Case in point: I have a pair of off-brand non-selvage N&F jeans from NR that absolutely never made it into Nordstrom stores. Some of their suits are labeled "From our Nordstrom Stores," but not all. Not sure what that means, but Rack has definitely grown into a brand that has its own buyers and suppliers.

I have fitted this line before and I would say they have several styles that vary from conservative to very edgy. As far as quality goes, Nordstrom does an excellent job of bringing in quality pieces and avoiding junk. Try on a few pieces and report back on your fitting would be my suggestion.

Hi, I need a last minute suit that I also plan on keeping for a while. I went to Nordstrom and got this one since I thought it looked nice, and it's from a reputable brand. I don't know much about suits, but after studying up a bit on what makes a good suit, everyone recommends 100% wool. This one is a wool blend. Should I return it and get another one? Basically, I just want to know if I was ripped off lol. Thanks for the advice!

$900 for a poly-viscose-wool suit does not seem right. But last minute purchases are often like that.
2 of 10

Well, it depends. Usually, it goes 1 fit 2 silhouette 3 fabric. Sometimes fabric needs to be the one who takes the hit for either the fit or silhouette to be perfect. How you use it will also play a large role in terms of fabric. If this is something you’ll wear twice a year, fabric doesn’t really matter, if this will be part of your heavy rotation then that’s another story. 100% wool is often preferred for its properties. Wool is naturally antibacterial, gives good insulation and tend to shape itself to the wearer after some time. However, there is a lot of other stuff inside the suit that may counteract these properties of wool. If a suit is fully lined, the smell of sweat for example tend to stick to this lining. Many suits tend to have some sort of canvas between the lining and outer fabric. How this canvas is constructed may also alter the final product. A wool blend may give the product an unnatural sheen that, once you see it, will be hard to unsee. So to answer your question. Wool may be better if the whole suit is constructed with a higher quality, otherwise it won’t matter that much. If you’re having a budget of around $1000 and a couple of weeks before you need to use it. Online custom made sites like Suit Supply will give you a great suit that will fit you perfectly. Hope this helps!

Listen to me. Get a credit card from Norstrom. Go to a different place to get measured. Take your measurements and write them down. Then, wait for Nordstrom's semi-annual mens sale in like July. Buy something roughly appropriate online, and then try it out at home. If you are ok with it, then go back to Nordstrom with your card and then have it fitted in person. I just saved you $1000.

Been several years since I had to buy one, but I just started a new job where suits will be required from time to time. Sadly, the COVID pandemic has left me with a few more pounds than before the pandemic ... so none of my suits fit well enough anymore.

Obviously, there's Men's Wearhouse ... but I don't know many other good places for decent looking suits at reasonable prices (not looking to have something bespoke made for me).

EDIT: Wow, thank you for all of the responses! A lot of good input here, but I think based on the feedback my first stop will be heading over to Suitsupply!

EDIT 2: Went over to Suitsupply and was very pleased with the entire process. The advanced reservation time, personal service, materials, price - all solid. Walked away with two suits - first one they were able to hem right in the spot so it was ready-to-wear an hour after I walked into the store, second one I am custom ordering bespoke. They had a lot of suits that looked good that were in the $450-600 range which is absolutely a decent price IMO.

I would highly recommend having whatever you buy tailored. Rarely do off the rack suits fit perfectly, and a tailor can make a cheaper suit look more expensive. While I will praise Bloomingdale’s selection and services, I have had suits at a lesser cost look just as nice because they fit correctly! Buy a suit separate from Macy’s website then go to a good tailor... It will look great! I bought an off the rack tuxedo then had it tailored and it looks custom now.

There's a guy with a tent at the Fremont market. You pick the style of each article for the suit, fabric, etc. he takes your measurements and about a month later you have a perfect suit. Pretty reasonably priced too. It's been a while since I was at the market. I assume he's still there. ETA. He's still there!

Thanks guys. Normal Canali is quite a bit of my league. However. If it was possible to get this down to the $500 range (about my max for a suit). I'd def. bite as the jacket fits well. I'm assuming its a main line. The model is L-13290/37. So other than the 25% off from a clear the rack sale thats all I know about. They do have two Canali Exclusive suits that have been there a while as I usually go to check and see if any new AE shoes showed up and browse the suits and jackets. I did find a pair of strandmoks for $100 I might go for.

Nordstrom is a department store and carries a bunch of different brands, all of which would have their own sizing particulars. I'd measure a shirt that you own and fits you well and compare it against the measurements for the shirts on Nordstrom's site.
