Bespoke suit

Yes. It cost me $700. I got it a couple of years ago. It's worth it to be honest. Of course, I'm almost 50 and can afford shite like this.

Cost around $2,500. They will tweak it until it is perfect. And it's not just the fit. A good tailor will walk you through all the smallest details and let you pick what you want: exterior fabric, lining, padding, weight, cut, buttons, buttonhole stitching, custom threading, monogramming, suspender loops (or not), pants cuffing (or not), and several other personal details.

I'm not saying it's a must-have item, but there is a reason that it costs so much.

Plus, most tailors will make adjustments if you gain/lose weight. It'll be a small fee but a nice bespoke suit can definitely last you 10 years.

No. And I wear a suit more often than not, and wear them out after 3-4 years (usually). Besides that, suit trends change, and in 5 years your $2,500 custom suit may very well be out of style.

75% of the time that a suit looks shitty is because it is improperly fitted. The other 25% of the time is because it’s a crappy fabric or cut.

If you want to look good in a suit, you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars. Just buy a quality suit from a quality suit maker and get it fitted correctly, which usually means taking it out of the store to a well-experienced seamstress.

I have a couple and a bunch of shirts. I travel a lot internationally and had them made in Hong Kong. The cool part is that now that they have my measurements, I can order a new shirt or suit or pants etc, just straight from their web site by picking the fabric. I get the stuff 10 days later by DHL.
