Navy, 2-button, slim fit suit; namely the J.Crew Ludlow Suit - which he is open to but not necessarily the price tag - Understandably so.
I've spent the last week or so scrolling through men's wear searches trying to find a reasonably priced men's suit. For some reason - and I've been through this before looking for clothes for him - the idea of "affordable" and "well fitting, high quality men's clothes" don't mix. You can either have --- ugly, ill-fitting and cheap OR EXPENSIVE, quality fabric and fits well.
I do understand why - Most men (Adam included) can pull of the same jeans/pants/shorts/shirt for about 10,000 wash cycles before it becomes a rag or donated clothing. I'm pretty sure I remember a Supply and Demand chart in Econ 1001 that taught me that too - even though it should be common sense. So the search will continue this weekend, and we will be scavenging around the Twin Cities to find the perfect/affordable suit. If we're not successful at least there is a backup plan hanging in the closet - it takes some of the stress off.
I would love to hear any suggestions - places to go, websites, maybe a lucky coin or two?
Scott just bought the Photographer suit at Express. It's not super affordable, but maybe slightly cheaper than J Crew.
