Tight suits?Originally Posted by ThrowedInDaGame
False.Originally Posted by 0cks
If you need a suit for work in a professional environment, you prolly don't want anything from H&M, Express, or J Crew... those are better for New Years parties, Weddings or "high-end" Clubs.
But this is NT where everything is in extremes... if it's not wetsuit tight then it must be a "Choppa suit"
(those Steve Harvey suits with +4 buttons are useless unless you're a deacon or pastor at a black church in the south)
I work at an investment bank and a lot of bankers (including myself) wear tight suits.

Thanks for the heads up steezy. The blazer is 100 and pants are 50. I am a slim dude and i have tried H&M blazers on before and they don't fit too poorly off the rack. I am hoping tailoring will be around $150. I will try to grab a slim tie from tiebar or something i have white dress shirts but might pick up something to match. Money is tight but $300 is my budgetOriginally Posted by ksteezy

H&M or a thrift store are about your only options...depending one how much work the jacket will need to look anything like that you are looking at 100-175 in alterations alone for the whole thing...

if you hold the material up to the light, you should not see any leakage coming through.

Dirty, you're completely wrong. It depends on the type of material it is. Fabric is measured in ounces; materials like Minnis Fresco and H&S Crispaire are for y humid/hot climates. There you will see ''leakage'' because the fabric isn't as tightly woven and heavy( 8 ounces max alot of times). Alot of dudes giving wrong information in here.

You're saying 100% wool is the way to go over synthetic blend, correct? 100% wool doesn't wear as quickly?
