"I need a suit."


          

macy's got this michael kor's charcoal 3-piece for 210. is this a good deal? are kor's suits decent?

I don't need anything fancy, but I don't often buy suits and would like to make sure before I get it.

where do you get suits? what do you look for?

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

I dunno Kors suits. But $210 for a suit sounds fine. I paid about that amount for 2 Calvin Klein suits a few months ago. They're not flashy or on-trend but they're good utility suits. They're in the rotation and aren't falling apart though I wear each at least once per week.

fuck you.

I wouldn't pay that much since it would mostly sit, but I'm hoping that might be an indication of quality.

I might need to check out the calvin kleins too since they're prolly on sale too.

it's a Jones New York...black, pin-striped joint. I'm no suit specialist, by any means. Once I find a style that works for me, I stick with it. This one was an athletic-cut. I'm not a daily suit wearer either, though.

Synthetic suits just look obviously cheap (shiny material and stiff).

they've done good work for me before.

I wanted macy's to do it, but their service sucked. they had 5 people in the suit department and nobody said a word to me. not single word. I paid for the suits in a diff dept to make sure somebody else got commission.

lol. you aint ask for all that.

watching like an NFL show on tv or some shit. You'll see like Shannon Sharpe or Bart Scott and their joints look like they were actually sewn together on them...then they will show Sean Salisbury or some slob lookin like he bought suit separates from Walmart.

meaning, in a business/formal attire situation we can tell when a guy is wearing separates. and we talk about it. i just had that conversation w/another lawyer last week as she pointed out some guy wearing slacks and a blazer where the rest of us wore suits. lol

In response to Reply # 31


          

Grey pants with a blue blazer? Cool.

But if it even remotely looks like you're trying to make a suit out of totally different (but close in color) pants/jacket you run a 99.99% chance of looking like a jackass.

i still blame hip-hop.

And it's what I meant when I said 'we can all tell and we talk about it'. The lawyer at issue wore a navy blazer with navy slacks. He looked out of place in court surrounded by men in suits.

he is trying to pull off a "home made" suit, which it seems like you were trying to clown.

That's my point. Which of course, is different from your point.

I would normally get something like perry ellis, calvin, or tommy hilfinger. K & G has good selection and good prices.

$85 each, felt like a king. them joints are nice & I always get compliments when I wear them. my spot of choice for suits is Dillard's or Macy's, then a little old lady tailors them for me for $10 to $20

you got a deal on that.

I need to find a cheap tailor. K & g isn't bad, but cheaper might be the move.
