        Another possibility, if not buying for the long haul...The Stafford line from Penny's used to be the best inexpensive suit. Notice I said used to be. Haven't bought one in over ten years.

            Great. I don’t know if he has an occasion in mind I suspect he just wants to have an all-purpose suit for an interview, wedding, or funeral.

              Try Macy’s (or establishments like it). My observation has been that, if one opts for polyester (or blends thereof) rather than wool, one stands a good chance of getting a suit economically.

              Yeap, just saw @LuFins-Dad’s reply above, Kohl’s will work too.

                If the kid is an average build, I’d go to a high end consignment store. Then straight to a tailor. I’ve seen some impressive deals on high end men’s wear here. Same with dress shoes. I’ve done it with my kid.

                I agree. Someone once told me something like: A good thrift store suit costing USD$100 with $100 of alterations is better than a USD$200 suit direct from off the rack.

                  The best part of Kohls? Buy a “$800” (wink) suit for 80% offs and they will give you $80 in Kohls Cash to purchase “$200” (wink) shoes for free!

                    Yes, it's an entertaining business model. My son worked for them for a while unloading the trucks, so got even more off the "reduced" items. I have to say those guys work bloody hard for not that much money.

                    I was only joking

                              The great Brett Gelman, of iBrain fame. That's one of the most hilarious movie scenes in the history of movie scenes. That whole movie is awesome.

                              Education is extremely important.
