Good place to buy nice suits at affordable price?

I've found nice suits at small mom-and-pop shops located in outlet malls. In the central Texas area, Suit City at the San Marcos outlet mall has cheap nice suits.

QuoteOtherwise try London, or Naples in Italy Not London. High-end stuff, maybe. 'Affordable' stuff (ie less that 300 GBP per suit) in London is unspeakable crap. If you need two basic suits and 5 shirts, say, and live in London, then flying over to Italy or Zurich will get you better quality for less cash, flight included.

When was the last time you saw a famous VIP say "I buy my suits at a Central Texas mall!" Be careful: there is nothing uglier than a man in a cheap suit who doesn't know that it looks cheap.

Century 21 is always worth a look. Often there is only crap there, but sometimes you will find a diamond among the turds, at a seriously knock-down price.And it is worth geting a suit by a good designer, if you can find one that suits your shape. Find out which one makes ones that best fit your body-type, then just look out for sales, and buy off the peg.Bloomingdales have some serious reductions in their sales, and will do a proper fitting for you, which makes all the difference.

QuoteOriginally posted by: ppaupergood suits cheapI wouldn't call that cheap:"The suits are being sold from a tailor's shop in central Santiago for more than $2,000 each" Still, I guess a suit like that could you give a strong edge in any business negotiations

QuoteOriginally posted by: mike234In the past, I was able to buy a nice suit at affordable price at Today's Man store. However, it looksthat the Today's Man appears to have gone out of business. I appreciate any recommendation onalternative stores.I like the suits from Men's wearhouse. Usually they are very affordable and comfortable. I also tried stiching the same from Landsend, Macy's but it not the same. A ready made suit is usually of much better quality..
