    Default Best Suit I've Ever Worn..



    I was originally going to buy a $1,300 Burberry suit but I decided to go to JCrew last minute and try on their suits..sure enough, without even thinking I bought the JCrew suit. Before Burberry I tried on Versace, Emporio Armani, Zegna, Prada, and Hugo Boss..and without a doubt JCrew was the best suit, and also the cheapest! Only $500! Would def recommend this suit for anyone planning on getting another suit.

    The entire outfit is JCrew except for the shoes, they're Salvatore Ferragamo..I had to buy the shirt and tie last minute so ended up just going to JCrew, originally was going to get Thomas Pink but couldn't make it to NYC the day before prom lol

    Btw, I wore it to my prom last week..that's why I have the flower on my lapel.

    Men - suiting - Italian wool Ludlow three-button suit jacket - J.Crew

    It's a three button but the third button is non-existent..the lapel curls over the button.

    J.Crew makes some decent suits. Can't beat them for the money and if you are in urgent need for one.
    It is vital that we work to a few golden rules. Always work in a small team. Keep a very low profile. Only deal with people who come recommended. And it's like selling anything else: washing machines, hand made shoes, blowjobs. As long as you don't take the piss people will always come back for more. And that is not to say we don't have that special kind of magic that makes two kilos into three. But never be too greedy.

    I like the look, very fitted. I'm surprised you didn't like Zegna though, they rock

    Looks good; I love the fitted look.

    Just wondering, but what's your take on Brooks Brothers?

    ^^ I don't think Brooks Brother's stuff is that high quality. It's also more of a comfortable fit as compared to a fitted-- sharp feel. IMO

    Nah, it's supposed to be that way..it's a slim fit suit. 1/4 inch cuffs all the time man

    Def, the price was awesome.

    Zegna was actually a close second, but way more expensive.

    A slim suit will always be more comfortable than a baggy suit..I rather have it look like I'm wearing the suit than the suit wear me. But to each his own.

    How much does Charvet shirts normally run for? Been hearing good things.

    Tried on some BB, def a more slimmer fit than the normal suit but I just didn't feel like the material and quality was worth the money.

    Yeah, it's kind of in the middle between a average suit you see and a slim suit.
