Urgentish- Where Can I Get A Cheap Suit?

[_Ryan_]

Hey all

job interview monday, need a suit, dont own one, where can i get a new one on a budget?

chady/glenny/knox/dfo? where should i look in these places?

cheers,

Ryan

Can't say that those places will have these stores but fair chance they would, or something similar..

Casual Guy usually has nice looking suits for around $150....

HIZZ, Men's Warehouse etc, they'll all have cheaper suits that will do the job fine

a few yrs ago i got mine @ Roger David, told the lady it's urgent, she had it sent to alteration express (basically only shorten the pants and sleeve), and I pickup saturday noon or afternoon. you may have time with late night shopping tonight but I am not sure.

if pressed on with time, get the suit, slid some pins on the sleeve/trouser if you need it short a bit tad (nothing look more unprofessional than a suit that looks too long for you in the arm and leg) - don't think employers won't notice - they would, especially if you're interviewed by HR people - they scrutinise your behaviour,hand movement, any sweating etc.

look schmick - and be yourself. you'll be fine, and good luck

Myer is having a sale on Van Heusen suits. $180 for a $250 suit.

Otherwise if its really urgent, hire one.

I'm in the west so I can't say which of those stores would be where...but I'd imagine chaddy would have 1 if not all of them..

They usually have 3 or 4 stores that sells suit (been a while since i went there last though).

Can ya borrow ya dads or something... LOL!

If not, I just goto Target, Myer, David Jones and what the rest of the ppl have mentioned here.

heaps of places to check, so good luck

but if you still want to buy a good suit, even after monday i can't recommend 'Godwin Charli' enough.

http://godwincharli.com/

Beautiful, beautiful suits and very nice contemporary cut, whilst still being classic. (none of this Calibre cut bullshit).

Made here but all 100% fine italian wool. Couldn't think of a better way to spend Krudd's money.... except maybe on a laptop or R34 turbo

To anyone else looking for a suit, and looking for a good one, go to Godwin Charli. Stimulus money will get you a great suit which is still a fair way nicer than a Saba/Hugo Boss, etc...

hey dude, good luck with the interview.

Casual guy is not bad ive found, most things there are pretty cheap, target surprisingly sometimes have some decent stuff.... myer aswell, but depends if theres sales.

Im not saying ur mum cannot sew, or you, but suits can be a little finicky I hear, and u definetly dont want to screw up the suit u just bought... so try and get the store alterer to do it asap.

Whats the job for?

Adam, a poxy tacked up sleeve ironed til alterations could work; but after all the suggestions looks like I should find something!

Thanks all, it's just an IT traineship but it's my foot in the door somewhere...

I have got a few suits from Roger David in Knox.

They are pretty reasonably priced and service is good.

[n/aTurbo]

I bought one from man to man in Dandenong plaza. Suit jacket, pants, shirt and tie for $180. Nice quality and didn't look too bad either.

[some_cs_student]

$500 for 2 suits? That's not that cheap

Try Sires, they sell good suits at very reasonable prices...

[Phatboy]

If you are after REALLY cheap suits, go to any of the dodgy Viet places in F'scray.

You'd only be able to wear the suits about twice before they fall apart. They have boxed suit, tie and shirt sets for around $30 ROFL.

Just paid 250+shirt+tie at mantoman, the ones on sale were trash. Thanks all for the advice!

many yeahs ago I didnt know what all the fuss was about...these days I have a wardope full of italian fabric with a range of nice cuts. When yuo have a good suit, you know it.
