Inexpensive suits?

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 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.

That's just the pants.

That's the important part.

Depends on what he's interviewing for...

Maybe a 2nd hand suit?

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.

Brett Gelman is awesome. Such a great on-screen presence.
