It’s getting cold in Connecticut, and I’m looking to buy a suit off-the-rack to get me through these cold days. Ideally, I’d be able to find a grey tweed 3-piece (like http://tsbmen.com/6277/1-piece9-ways...-3-piece-suit/) for under $1000, but I’m not sure that’s possible, so I’ve come here. I’m looking for something heavy (tweed, flannel, etc.), preferably grey (though brown or a dark navy might work), and hopefully with a vest option (or requirement). And under $1000. Might be asking a bit much here, but I though it was worth a try.
The closest thing I’ve found so far is http://us.suitsupply.com/suit-light%...t=5&cgid=Suits (SuitSupply’s Washington 3p Light Grey Plains). Can anyone speak to the substantiality of the fabric?
I know there are also some J.Crew suits that meet some of my criterion (http://www.jcrew.com/mens_feature/Th...8607/48607.jsp and http://www.jcrew.com/mens_feature/Th...8683/48683.jsp spring to mind) - does anyone have any experience with these? How’s the feel/fit/general quality?
In case it matters to anyone’s analysis, I’m 5’8”/150 (working back down to 145... just give me a little while) and usually wear a 36R/30” (though I believe my SuitSupply Napoli suit is a 35R/29”).
Thanks for any advice you can offer!
