"To all yall well dressed cats in DC"


  

          

What's the best place to get a decent suit in DC for around $400? I have an event I need a new navy joint for in the next week so ordering online is out this time.

I always see those "2 suits for $250" type spots but never really know about the quality.

Anybody have a recommendation for a place I should check out?

They typically don't have the same quality of suits as the Barneys Outlet. I've seen Cuccinelli suits for like $600 out there.

on volume and alterations, plus accessories and shirts. Plus their suits range in price from $250 to $1,500. So I say get a $500 suit and get two more free. Yaknow.

I have a few suits from there and I've always gotten great compliments. It's the man that makes the clothes, the clothes should never make the man.

most if not all of the clothes they sell are true to size, and the pants, like any you'd get off the rack, just required a trip to the tailors to cut and cuff.

depends on your size the bigger you are the harder it is to find suits...and the more you will spend. I wear a 50L and its almost impossible to just walk in and find a suit in a store.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I've also done well at JAB.

I like buying pieces from several places like Macy's, K&G, and I've even been able to get some decent stuff at the Leesburg Premium Outlets spot.
