i was over dramatizing it, for comedy

sort of like how couples argue about the stupidest things, making pointless drama, which is comedic on its own

actually i heard different. custom made are cheaper than designer and will fit you perfectly.

This guy from Hong Kong (http://noblesuit.com/index.html) comes to Toronto twice per year and sets up shop at the Sheridan hotel. Watch for his ads in the business section of the Toronto star/Globe & Mail.

You make an appointment with him, go to the hotel and he measures you up and gives you a selection of 700+ fabrics for the suit.

2 Suits + 1 Jacket with Pants or 3 Suits costs about $2000 US$. This is a great price for a custom suit and the quality cannot be beat (this is cheaper than most designer brands in Toronto).

---------

If you go to Asia yourself - the price is about 60% of the above.

Thailand seems to be the best deal on custom tailored suits. I have one associate who got 2 suits, 1 blazer, 3 shirts and a top-coat (all custom tailored) for $1000 US (including shipping) in Bangkok.

The best thing about the Asian tailor houses is that they keep the patterns on file - so you can just phone order additional suits (they Fedex a few fabric swaps for you to choose and then you phone order them).

I say it's not so much about where the suit came from but how it fits and how the woman wears it. You can work it if it's properly tailored and you accesorize it appropriately. That way, you can make it work for many different occasions and also bring out your personal style.



^^ Amen to that! Also it's important to wear clothes that FIT YOU RIGHT. If you are a size 13 do not try to squeeze into a pair of size 7 pants.
Someone had mentioned Reitman's earlier..they have some great work pants (not suits exactly) and some great work tops that do not cost a fortune..plus very cute accessories.

He just doesn't want you to go out after work and is finding ways to argue about it without saying it flat out.


haha not at all! He was telling me to wear something hotter instead...it's just personal preference. Plus, maybe I exaggerated..it wasn't really an argument..just a fundamental difference of opinion. Keep in mind though I'm a finance person (well, in a former life) and he's an IT person. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Double post!

Either way I wore a suit today and loved it! I miss wearing suits. I didn't have to wear one for work everyday (most places are business casual) but chose to wear one every so often.

I agree that you don't have to have an expensive suit for it to fit well...but if you have the money why not for certain designers as they make you look awesome in a suit.

Women in suits = uberhaut

EOD


Posted by mute79 on Nov-16-2006 16:56:

ya, i agree... women in suits at work or not is hawt!


Posted by The Highroller on Nov-16-2006 17:06:

I don't really care if women wear suits after work or not, but I rarely find women wearing suits hot. I know I'm going to get this, "you just don't like the idea of a girl wearing a skirt" nonsense (likely from Theresa), but it's not that. I just don't like the way a suit looks on a woman (usually).

Want to change my opinion Sarah?

yes, if we are talking about timeless Prada and Chanel
no, if we are talking about not-so-designer stuff like - Mexx, Club Monaco, Zara

RJ, $2000 US for a suit? that's a bit insane...

Any man (or woman presumably) who has worn a $2000 suit will vehamently disagree with you on this point.

I don't like the other 2, and this one is OK I guess, but I'd still rather see her in something else.
