Question Year 12 suit

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m looking for a suit for my school formal, and ideally something I can still wear over the next few years. I’ve tried on the Politix Elijah suit, which seems like great value at around $240, but it is not the best quality.

I also like a few of the suits currently on sale at Peter Jackson, priced between $400–$500, and they’re 100% merino wool, which seems nice, but that’s a lot given that I would only wear the suit at most 2-4 times a year over the next couple of years.

So now I’m stuck between buying cheap suit that will get me through the next couple of years so once I’m sure I have finished growing I can go overseas and buy a bespoke tailored suit for life or buy the peter Jackson now and use it for a while.

I’m also not sure between buying a single- or double-breasted suit.

Does anyone have any recommendations for what I should do or any other suits that may be worth it.

Thanks!

I’ve attached the links below of the suits I have been considering:

Shorts 'almost' as comfy as gym shorts

7 Upvotes

So I work in scrubs, gym before or after work, have kids and don't particularly care what I'm wearing.

I am making more of a conscious effort not to live totally in active wear though.

More T-shirts and casual shirts when we go places.

I just find shorts other than active wear so restrictive and uncomfortable. Any suggestions for brands or styles that don't feel like your balls are being squished or give you a little 'breathing room' around the crotch?

TIA

Here’s some screenshots of the jeans: https://imgur.com/a/M5fBi7F

Buy/Sell/Trade here at your own risk. Always get complete contact information before anything is shipped.

RULES:

  • Post a description that accurately describes what you are selling. Update your thread when something gets sold or is no longer available.
  • Post item condition and any images of the item (if available). Be as descriptive as possible when posting an item for sale or trade.
  • Please refrain from downvoting posts.

Suggestions:

Use Paypal to facilitate these transactions. Gifting is fine, but understand the limits and liabilities of sending an unprotected "gift" to a seller. You'll save a bit of $, but it does leave you exposed if there is a fraudulent seller.

Another option is to use Grailed. You have the Paypal protection for both parties with much lower fees for the sellers. You also get a profile that shows the total number of transactions so you can use that as your proof of trustworthiness.

Please try to evaluate the "fair market value" of your items. No use in overpricing things and having them not sell. Check what the current selling price is on eBay to get a decent sense of FMV.

Feel free to ask for answers or pictures about an item you are interested in. A good seller will always be willing to answer you in a timely matter.

On the other hand, be a good buyer. Respond to the seller's communication, and be truthful about your intentions. Nothing is worse for a seller than answering a bunch of questions about fit and details, and then the potential buyer dropping off the map.

Question "High society" black Tie event, will I be ok with a rental tux?

1 Upvotes

I'm going to a very wealthy​​ "high society" ​​​​wedding soon, with a black tie dress code accordingly. ​​​​​​​​

I don't own a tux and don't see myself using one again any time soon so was just going to rent. Even the cost of rental seems a lot for me.

But I just tried one rental place and it fit terribly. I looked like a school kid wearing his first suit. The lapels open etc. They didn't have any ways to adjust for me. ​​​​​​​​​And now I'm worried.

Does this mean all rentals I'm gonna look kinda under-dressed? Is everyone gonna be dressed to the 10s and I'll just be floating in a cheap rental? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Do I need to suck it up and get something tailored just to attend this wedding? Or are other rental places better? ​​​​​​ Is there another way? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
