Not for $400...

For that price...impossible. It's like going to the Honda dealership and trying to get a brand new Accord for $8,000.

Harry Rosen does a good JP Tilford MtM suit for about $1,200.

And to look like a GQ model, you need a GQ body: ie waist of 30", chest of 40" and 6ft tall. No suit can help you if you have a waist of 46" and a chest of 38".

If $400 is your budget, I'd suggest a nice tailor in Saigon or Shenzen.

If you want to stay in toronto, you better save your shekels and plan on at least $1,000.

Rego at First Canadian advertises MTM for $899, but I can't stand their pompous staff.

alright, but $ 1000 is over my budget. anyone know a good tailor?

Even an off the shelf suit for $400 is meh.....

You are probably better off buying a decent suit from Moores and getting it altered so it fits perfectly. The older lady at the Bay downtown (Queen street, basement level) is an exceptional seamstress. She's done great work on my clothes, for a reasonable price.

If you desire a top end suit you should not have a budget. Even a grand is going to buy you a mediocre suit.

NHFL, have you ever bought a suit from indochino?

oh- you're 5'8" -ok $400 is all you need then

Red, its time for you to button up.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red, your humour is well-suited for this thread.

No I haven't. With the casualization of Corporate Canada, I don't need suits much anymore.

Having said that, I believe I have provided the ONLY option you will get when it comes to a custom made suit at the price you want.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red, your humour is well-suited for this thread.

just trying to vent

 

[unbiasedguy]

are there actually any non tailored cheaper suits that would fit something like

6ft/30 waist/41chest/51 shoulders?

went to moores, sears, the bay, and all the suits there were garbage... and I really dont want pay big $$ for a tailored suit, since my measurements will still change a bit.

Get a student in fashion design to make you a suit if your budget is that tight. Otherwise go and buy a quality suit at Goodwill and eat until you fit it just right.
