I don't think people routinely give away nice suits, or at least suits that are worth keeping. Someone convince me otherwise.
sure they do. I should have suggested that before, you'll find racks of suits just as nice as anything you'd buy at macys, and likely plenty of stuff much nicer. go to some thrift stores, OP
Gonna 2nd (or 3rd, or 4th, or whatever) Indochino.
That price is practically a steal for a tailored suit. They also throw in a $75 tailoring credit, and if it requires more tailoring than that they'll remake the suit until they get it right.
Great fit for me... requested minimal shoulder padding & high armholes, also you can get neat customizations such as a ticket pocket or contrasting stitch on the last arm buttonhole & boutonniere for free.
I used to buy suits at Men's Warehouse or Macy's but invariably eventually hated the way they looked or just some of the quirks (low armholes, bulky shoulderpads, not tapered enough, etc. etc.)
It's worth it to spend an extra hundred or so for a better quality, fitted suit. Also sometimes they have groupon/livingsocial/etc. deals.
Good luck finding a 36s at the thrift stores.. Most suits at the thrift stores are 42r.
could you post a picture of you with the blurry face and the indochino suit you order from them? how slim are their suits?
The best quality-to-price you can find in suits today is at Suitsupply; their $999 suits rival ones sold at Brooks Brothers and elsewhere for $2000+. GQ did a story on them called Have You Heard About the JetBlue of Suits? that's worth a read.
indochino has a sale on this week. 30% off any order over $700. It's a lot, but you can get one of their premium suits and 2 shirts for that., and then they'll knock 30% off.
Or you can just get one of their standard quality suits for $400.
They are tailored so they are as slim as they need to be.
My suggestion: Cruise by the local outfitters, outplay them one against the other, and while wearing the suit and waving a bundle of cash haggle them down to the price you're willing to pay.
I would never buy such attire online, excepting maybe a shirt or tie/bow-tie.
Also, the shoes. With the right shoes, a plain suit will do.
Finally, the cut. Make sure you don't end up looking like you just got released from corporate HQ in your salesman's uniform.
That's also why you should try it on, to check how you look in it, to fetch a matching shirt and tie.
If you're going to spend big money, prepare to spend a lot of time doing it.
...or fly to Vietnam, and get a tailored silk suit for 20 dollars.

What's the quality of indochino's suits? I've heard that while they're a good price for tailored suits their quality is kind of "meh."
