The fit is not bad. I'm 6'2, 185 and wear a large. Its not super slim but again, its not at all blousey. I actually wish it were a little more slim and a little shorter in length. Mediums would be too small after a wash and dry so I stick with large.Originally Posted by eeBS7eez
QUESTION
Has anyone here tried uniqlo oxfords?
i'm looking to give them a shot but i'm curious about the fit. i'm 5'11, 210lbs. not fat, but certainly not small. i always have trouble with shirts being long enough without getting baggy. any help would be great

I think Banana Republic is having a 40% sale on suits. I bought mine last week for around $240.Originally Posted by bjamez20

I consider myself fiscally prudent, so spending that much on a tie is ridiculous when you can get great ties at a fraction of the cost. I usually don't pick up a tie unless it is really marked down.Originally Posted by KenJi714
I don't see how any average income making person can pay $135 for a tie
Yea those Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren you see at Macy's arent really good in regards to quality. If you want some nice quality suits, your looking to spend over $1K...but im pretty sure your not looking to spend that much. But if you have outlets in your town, check out some shops there (Neiman Marcus, Off 5th) or Nordstrom Rack. You can find some nice deals for around $500.
For starters you can look at Brooks Brothers, Armani, Hugo Boss or maybe even Theory?
, the 1k suits are for those that are already well established. Plus, you can't wear a price tag on a suit. On top of that, you can find solid and good quality suits for less than $500.

Who makes this blazer?
Just go in and tell the tailor you want it more fitted.Originally Posted by Cobra Kai
I was assuming the pants are fitted like the jacket.Originally Posted by Smedroc

I bought a slim suit, but i want the jacket and pants to fit like the pics above. If i get it tailored, what do i ask for?
you cant even see the slacks so how you know that??
Do you want the suit to be more fitted??
a more accurate representation would be that GQ picture listed in the grey suit above this post.

@Niidawg and other suit aficionado's
I just got back from sending some items to a new tailor (praying things come out the way we discussed)...basically...I'm looking to using him to get some new tailored suits...
I would like to know what is the best fabric I can buy for this style of suit...
I know it says "cotton-silk"in the description, but I'm just confirming weather that's the best fabric for this style of cut.
I need:
-one gray for the summer, I would like the fabric to be "breathable" to combat heat, yet very high quality.
-one navy blue with a matching waist coat, this would be a more spring/fall suit.

werd. all mannequins have better fitted clothes due to the pinning of extra material in the back.Originally Posted by Jordan Novice

It's common sense, but the internet and nt doesn't surprise me anymore.
The humidity in ny has been horrible this week. I wore a sportshirt / casual shirt a few times this week and was suffering.
