Where to get a good suit?

#1 11-08-2005, 03:39 AM

I'm going to be the best man at my brother's wedding in Italy in a few weeks and I need a suit. I've never bought a suit before and have no idea what to look for or what I should expect to spend.

A) Why not a tuxedo?

B) Go to Nordstrom's, they will be able to hook you with with a suit for about $800. That is probably what I would classify as a "good" suit, but what do I know anyway?

Go talk to my man Kambiz at Nino Ferretti. 761 S. Los Angeles St. Los Angeles, CA 90014.

If I was going to Italy and I needed to buy clothes, I would definitely wait until I was in Italy to buy them.

You can get a nice Hugo Boss suit for around 800-1000 depending on where you go with shirts, ties and shoes.

I dunno, my bro told me to wear a suit. He's not going to wear a tux either. I guess maybe they don't wear tuxes in Italy?

I'll take your word for it that your man Nino is good, but I live in Chicago, and I'm not gonna make the trip to LA just to buy a suit.

Nordstrom's is an effin rip off.

think about it. the roundtrip airfare is probably $300. You can stay at the Commerce and earn your suit. Kambiz will hook you up the suit for you, for cheap, $300-400 for some sweet threads. I think he steals the [censored]. so basically if you go to Nordstrom's you're gonna fork out minimum $1300 for a decent suit. Trust me you don't want to be cheap when you buy a suit.

If you have enough time I think waiting til you get to Italy would be cool. If you were even remotely pressed for time though I'd want the suit before going. Alterations usually take a couple days at best.

Why don't you go shopping with your brother to get something similar?
