Well, it's not like there will be any orders in front of you. Learn to plan a little better and good luck getting the tailored suit on time.


- I'm aware that I put myself in a bind on trying to get a well made/tailored suit in a few days, but it's been a bad few weeks and I haven't really be on top of things.

I don't think a lot of places will do it on such short notice.

Yeah there's no way you'll get a suit and get it tailored in time. Your best bet is to go to banana republic and get one that fits best but that depends on your body type. I didn't really need mine tailored from banana.

- I'm 6'2 and a little under 180, but I always seem to struggle finding clothes that fit decently.

That is difficult. Do you know your measurements? Every man should.

Worth a try. What's your budget? I think mine was $600-$650 from there. Dillards will have suits starting in the 250 range but I'm not sure if they have any that don't need to be tailored.

No, but they will if you push them. I have gotten stuff done at macy's in a few days.

And you could always find a local tailor and throw them an extra $20 to move you to the top of the queue. I doubt this is big season for tailoring, that likely comes in Jan.

- I do not, I've always been a tshirt and jeans type, and get generic clothes from Express for nice occasions.

We are the same height. You really shouldn't have a problem finding the right coat fit. Pants are completely different story. Depends on what is comfortable for you.

Bespoke suit from Kingsman.

Added benefit is that it's bullet proof.

In that case it's a no brainer...

Well you need to go figure out your measurements. That way you can decide on whether or not you need heavy alterations to your clothing.

That's a deal depending on the material.

I have 3 Banana Republic Suits that all fit pretty well, the oldest is about 6 years old, and it still looks pretty good, none of them cost me over $350. They work for me since I only wear suits 2-3 times/year. Some BR's have a connection with a tailor- I know the one in Shreveport did before they closed.
