I have some important interviews coming up so I just got a new one today. Only a little over $300 on sale. I previously paid nearly doubled that for the last suit I bought , but that came with some dress shirts, shoes, and a tie. I don’t mind spending closer to the $600, but I’m planning on getting in better shape so don’t want to spend too much on a suit that may not fit me that well in less than a year.
I will say that though it’s not the priciest suit, I am very happy with the quality of it.

I'm more of an off-the-rack on sale at JCPenney kind of guy. If I'm doing more than 200 for the whole thing I feel bad.
Lately though their selection hasn't been as good and I've ended up elsewhere. It went from a nice portion of the store with a guy there to help you take measurements to a smaller corner of the store and you need to commit ritual sacrifices to be able to find both pieces to the jacket and pants set.

I usually shop at Mens Wearhouse they very frequently have ridiculous deals. Last time I bought a suit it was Buy One get TWO Free. Spent $600 for the whole suit and got about $850 in suits free.

I got a nice suit for a wedding last year. Paid somewhere around the low $200's IIRC. Suits will most likely be of around the same quality once you hit that price. Pay anymore you're often just buying a brand label.

I think it’s more about having it fit correctly from a tailor than how much the suit costs.
For the record, I’ve dabbled in ballpark between 200 and 800 with equal use between all of em.

Last one I bought,and this was in 93 or 94,was 700. Got my eye on one right now that is 1000. Depends on the suit but I think my upper end is 1000 and my lower end is 500.

Men's Warehouse always did right by me. Lot of my coworkers went to JAB, I snickered while they spent four times as much for the same results.

I live in Korea. So if you go into the foreigner friendly area of Itaewon you can tailors who will make custom made suits for cheap prices. They will literally ask you on the street if you're looking for a suit. I believe I bought a suit and a shirt for around 450,000 won ($417).
I heard vietnam is even cheaper.

Zara suits aren’t the best quality, but you can get a nice, modern cut for a good price. Same goes for Topman.
I have a couple of suits from both places and they look like I paid more for them than I did.

That is, if I have no reason to wear one (which I currently don't). But if I did, I would first attempt to borrow one from a relative. Failing that, I think I would allocate no more than $200. |

I'd take the guy that gave me the suit out to dinner at Mendy's.

I don't like suits. But I hate wearing a tie. No matter how loose I get the tie it always feels like I am being choked. Since I got out of the Army I have not wore a tie. I do own a Spider-man themed bolo tie. So if I have to wear a tie I will wear that.
