Ok, I see my words are going in one ear and out the other. Let me try this again: The brands do not matter! You're question is asking for our opinion on what "brand" to buy. This is flawed thinking. When it comes to suits you need to buy the suit that fits you the best. If you buy the Canali, and I go to JC Penny and buy a sack suit that fits me very well....otr comparison is going to be in my favor as far as how well the suit looks on me. Do not get stuck on brands. Buy the navy suit that fits you the best and whatever money is left over take yourself down to a tailor and have it altered. Please remember, unless you're one of these tacky guys that walks around with the suit label on his sleeve, nobody is gonna have a clue as to where you got your suit or what brand it is. However, everybody is going to notice the cut of the suit and how well it's contoured to your frame.

So just pick one, hell, pick two or three if you can with your $2k credit and take them to a tailor for alterations. Please stop getting stuck on brands. Suits and clothing in general are all about fit, not the label. Hope this helps.

go look at any suit you like in that store from one of the brands. What is your size, if you are slim might want to start with ETON, HUgo Boss, or Robert Grahams. Whatever suit you choose make sure you get it tailored.
