Honestly, for years now I’ve bought suits on eBay, often used. Buyer Beware, but I’ve had good success. This year I purchased four sport coats for a total of about $200, then had them dry cleaned. They look great and fit well without alterations. I’ve purchased beautiful Armani suits for ten cents on the dollar. (There’s a reason they cost several thousand new: pulling one on feels like a gentle hug.) Buying a tuxedo on eBay may cost no more than renting one, and it may be better quality.
But who wears suits here, anyway, except in caskets or maybe at funerals? I often wear sport coats and slacks at nice restaurants, but it isn’t usually required. Most guys don’t.
Where do the used designer suits come from? There are people who wear only designer suits, have half a dozen or more, and replace them every couple years so they will be in style. (No, Brooks Brothers are not designer suits.)
