For our wedding, my husband got fitted for a rental tux &amp; day of he went to pick it up and it was all wrong! not even close to fit! Ended up wearing a black jacket and pants from the closet and looked great!  I think men sometimes get it so easy.......but he also does not like to dress up.</p> <p>Nordys and Macy are very good, and the Rack often has great deals. but I don't think they are near you.... A high end consignment shop can also be great, good prices and quality, if that is something he would consider</p> <p>Since he has pretty average measurements, you might get lucky online with ebay. I know it can be risky, but if you take good measurements sometimes the deals are amazing. For a looser fit, I would avoid some of the designers that call their fits "modern" (Kenneth Cole comes to mind) as they might be to narrow for his liking </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-982065 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 21:30:05 +0000 Mo 982065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you thought about just a sport coat and slacks, rather than a full matching suit? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-979831 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:00:15 +0000 Thistle 979831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you can rent a suit. A tux yes, but not a suit. </p> <p>He is a bit frustrated as we live in a casual part of the country. Kahkis a dress shirt and tie will get you though weddings and baptisms. Probably even a funeral if you wore dark trousers. S he really does only need the suit for my work event, mi wish they didn't have to make it so formal. But then a lot of people's wives like to dress up. (I am one of two women invited from the company, the rest of the ladies are spouses.)</p> <p>And I hate dressing up,for these. Hence, why we found a excuse to skip last year. Trying to find something warm enough for a Wisconsin Decemeber but still dressy. I did tell DH to be thankful he got to wear so many layers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-979791 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 07:40:42 +0000 Ornella 979791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you rent a suit?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-979735 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 04:01:56 +0000 Mo 979735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my BF's Canali suits - but they are not cheap. &nbsp;Fit is king no matter the price point, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-979627 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 01:08:22 +0000 Jjsloane 979627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also hunting to refresh DH's circa 1990 suit. He feels it's not necessary, but for weddings and funerals it's a must. I was thinking JosA Banks, BB and Lord and Taylor. Have not started yet so I'll watch this if you have any progress.&nbsp;<br />My DH is 6'2" and mostly torso so a 38/32.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-979380 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 18:28:39 +0000 Eliza 979380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wherever you go, make sure that there is someone knowledgeable to help with the measuring and fitting, as well as tailoring. &nbsp;Poor fit really impacts how a men's suit (and a lot of other things) looks. &nbsp;It probably is not a bad idea to have one suit on hand just in case and good sales people can help him sort out a basic style choice with longevity.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-979321 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 16:58:46 +0000 Thistle 979321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH is 6'3" he has a medium build. Waist of 36" with a 34" inseam. He wears a large in Lands End tee shirts. He tends to like his clothes loose and baggy as he hates any kind of constriction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-979233 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 14:39:55 +0000 Angie 979233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is DH's height, size and build, Thistle? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-978831 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 00:26:38 +0000 Thistle 978831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I want him to look nice. He will never be "corporate" and thats fine. But the party is only for the management team, so it's all department heads and senior management. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-978735 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 22:33:58 +0000 rachylou 978735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Men's Warehouse? Actually Target has jackets sometimes. I mean you get what you pay for, but if you don't mind not being 100% sharp... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-978703 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 22:00:19 +0000 Sarah A 978703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH has good luck at the Brooks Bros Factory store (at many large outlet malls) and can usually get something for around/under $300. Which could be considered both a lot for a once in a while even or a little for someting DH would have for years (DH's last/look good for several years even with daily wear) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-978654 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 21:16:11 +0000 lyn* 978654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dad got a suit at Harry Rosen - he quite likes it, and one of my friends goes there for his Hugo Boss. Mexx sometimes has nice pieces too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-978566 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 20:05:35 +0000 Glory 978566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It might be worth it for him to have a "suit capsule". that way he is ready for weddings, baptisms and other special events. Perhaps a winners or even sears might have something appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-978556 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 19:46:02 +0000 Diana 978556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have Jos A. Bank where you are?&nbsp; That is where J gets a lot of his suits (including the 3 piece he wore at our wedding and some for work).&nbsp; They have ridiculous sales all the time.&nbsp; The wedding suit was like the most expensive thing in the store but they had a buy 1, get 2 free promo so we got the same suit for his brothers as well (the groomsmen).</p> <p><a href="http://www.josbank.com/menswear/shop/Home_11001_10050" rel="nofollow">http://www.josbank.com/menswea.....1001_10050</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-978499 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 18:51:31 +0000 velvetychocolate 978499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My DH also doesn't need to wear suits on a regular basis either, but a few years ago - we needed one, and didn't want to get something super-expensive, since it wouldn't get worn a lot. Here's the one we got:</p> <p>Ralph Lauren&nbsp; men's suit at Macy's:</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/lauren-by-ralph-lauren-suits?ID=794399&amp;CategoryID=17788&amp;LinkType=PDPZ1" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro.....;LinkType=</a></p> <p>Very nice quality for the price. Comfortable and not too much fuss 'in store' to get the right size and hemming etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-suit#post-978483 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 18:34:50 +0000 Thistle 978483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, my comapny has a formal event for the Management Team every year. We skipped last year's because DH didn't have a suit or even a suit jacket.</p> <p>We don't really want to spend a lot for a once a year event that he doesn't really want to attend anyway. And, he is not terribly interested in a lengthy fitting process.</p> <p>Any ideas on where/how to get this?&nbsp; Figure I should start now . . . </p>
