Roosh Goes Suited Down! Finally!
02-08-2012, 01:06 AM
A Zara suit costs about 300 bucks in Singapore. A custom suit will cost about 750-800 bucks tailored by one of the best here [
http://www.cyccustomshop.com/]. They are making shirts and suits for the Prime Minister of Singapore. If it's just 400 bucks difference, I would go custom all the way. Why should you settle for less?

It's a starter suit. Sure Roosh will step up the suit game soon. No point in dropping serious cash on your first suit if you are not 100% sure you will use it often.

if you're wearing a custom suit and a fancy watch but take a girl back to a 1 br rental in a less than ideal neighborhood, the incongruence will be stark.
as others have said, the best way to go for a while is cheap suits tailored well.
I have $3000 Zegnas and $500 Hugo Boss suits. "you look great!" sounds the same to me when I'm in either. but the Zegnas are for my own personal pleasure.

If you are ever in Shanghai, head to the silk market. It is an entire mall of nothing but fabric merchants who will make custom suits for you.
They have western catalogs there from high-end suit labels, and you simply point out the design you want and select your fabric from the stall. I chose English wool.
The merchant takes your measurements, you come back in 3 days for a re-fitting with the partially assembled suit, and then in 6 days you have a custom-made suit.
Price? $55 U.S. (Depending on your haggling skills).
I had 3 suits made up here: navy blue, black, and a black pin-stripe. I would have got a charcoal one as well, but I already owned a suit of that color at the time.
My only regret is not buying more of their suits. When I wear mine, I out-shine everyone in their store-bought suits. Store-bought is good enough, but custom just looks different.

Hands down my favorite shoes are made by Testoni.
For an elegant suit, Armani, and for stylish clothes for going out and socializing, Roberto Cavali.

What's with all the "Custom Suit" talk on here? Jeez
I very rarely wear a full suit out, more common is suit jacket and jeans. I like to mix things up.
I believe that when a man reaches his late twenties/early thirties he goes through a suit stage, will almost always be in a suit jacket at night-time. I have also noticed that these guys tend to be trying to hide something, maybe they are on the skinny side, and are trying to get more of a V-shape, or they have a beer belly that they are trying to prevent flopping out

I drafted a post a couple weeks ago. Should be on the blog soon.
It will basically say how the suit should match your lifestyle, but the suit in isolation will not make much difference in your overall results or feedback you get from women.

Roosh: but the suit in isolation
Quote:Quote:
G: How were you able to isolate?
I think there is a miscommunication as to what Roosh meant by 'isolation.' I believe he meant that wearing a suit should be in the context of a certain lifestyle and way of carrying oneself.
For example, when a couple typically boorish frat guys decide to suit up and hit the town, but it is so incongruent to their identity that their suit scheme will be seen as obviously superficial. The suit on its own -- in isolation -- will not help them.
Btw, blazer or a sportcoat with jeans isn't suited anymore, it's throwing on a blazer with jeans or khakis. It's more casual. Not to say it's not a sharp look, nonetheless.

You can also just get stuff at outlet stores (Saks Off Fifth, Nordstrom Rack, Century 21, Barney NY Outlet), hit end of season sales for 50% off and make the occasional full price purchase on a stylish suit or something.
After travelling in Asia and seeing how freaking cheap it is to make stuff, and how cheap it's sold for, there's no reason why you can't get a majority of your suits for like $600 or less, and a decent pair of shoes for $150 at Saks Off Fifth or Nordstrom Rack. That is, if you're close enough to factory sizes and can bring to a tailor for minor alterations.

I am heading to a wedding next week. Summer wedding but everything is indoors. I don't really know what to expect or what kinds of people will be there because I was asked to be someones date. Is a three piece suit too much? My date said I would be fine in slacks and a tie but I don't really take her word. Any advice/thoughts?
