Where to find vintage suits?
I’m beginning the process of looking for a suit for my wedding. I’m on a budget and want to spend less than $1000. I’d like something vintage, but not sure where to look besides thrift and eBay. Are there any consignment shops that specialize in vintage suits?

Yes. There's a place in Chicago that does "curated" (hate that term) vintage suits. Depending on where you are there may be something similar near you.
I think there are some Etsy sellers too, but I don't know any specific recommendations.
Not exactly what you’re looking for but Scott Frazier collection has suits for exactly $1064 USD shipped that are new and based on vintage cuts and fabrics
Putthison has some eBay queries that may be helpful, mostly for finding good brands.
I thought that brand would be much more expensive, I love their look. I'll check it out!
Nice, I'm in Nebraska but I'd take a trip out there to check it out. What's the name of the place?
Richard's Fabulous Finds
Vintage Menswear & Decor
And check out the recent Chicago thread in TOTD for more recommendations.
Here's an Etsy seller GSH pointed me to: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PlacidVintage
