Where to buy first suit?

[james_bond_007]

you can always ask Bert, he used to do leather goods. Ask him about the leather pants he did for a friend of his wife........

Ausgezeichtnet !!!
I'm in the market for a new pair of Lederhosen to use when one of my bands plays at Oktoberfest (coming up in August in LoDo area).
I may call BP Tactical Tailor

Ach du lieber !!!

I agree with the jacket mentality over a whole suite; pretty much everything Hurley said. One additional consideration is if your buying these for a job, or something else, that requires a good amount of travel. I've found it more convenient to bring along a jacket, or two, and then match a few pairs of slacks / shirts, so you can cut down on the amount of clothing to pack. If you're flying frequently you want to be able to bring everything carry-on, if you need to pack 4 full suits that gets challenging, plus you can dress-down a jacket with jeans for social events.

Good luck.

You may want to hit Kohls. The women in my house are always buying something, and always tell me "Kohl's is having a sale." I can only hope that's true...

If you can wait, or just put it on your calendar for later, Dillards has a huge suit sale on Jan 1 every year.

Thanks for the help everyone. I ended up with a nice fitting suit from MW for $229 out the door including tailoring. I decided to go this route because I probably wouldn't wear a sport coat very often, if ever. I was able to find some very nice sport coats at the various thrift stores I went to but didn't have any luck on suits there so I'll keep that in my pocket in the future.
