Earlier this year, Esquire named its picks for best suits under a $1,000.
Now, we confess that its best in show -- a Brooks Brothers blue two-piece for $498 -- is likely to remain unchallenged. But, we’re willing to bet that J. Crew’s new Italian slim-cut suit for $575 will hold its own quite well against Esquire’s other nom’s.
Buried Lead: This whole numbers game is fundamentally flawed anyway, because -- as The Beggar sets out to prove every day -- there’s no reason to pay full retail for anything.
At this very moment, Hart Schaffner Marx suits are selling at a measly $3oo; the same with Helmut Lang; and in just a matter of days the Barneys Warehouse Sale will unload mountains of high-end suits and jackets at a fraction of their sticker prices.
And that's to say nothing of the fantastic deals to be found at first-rate resale boutiques like Gentlemen's Resale on the Upper East Side, and Ina Men downtown.
