suit brands that might match this inspo pic
hi all, using an upcoming wedding as an excuse to maybe buy another suit. love the relaxed fit and soft beige-brown color of the suit in this pic. the closest match i've found is a j crew wool tweed suit — did take a look at spier & mackay, suitsupply, and a few other places — but curious if you guys had other recommendations of brands that might approach this look. (also, very infrequent user of this discord, if there's a channel i should post this in lmk.)

This just looks like a light brown linen suit. Should be relatively easy to find during the spring/summer months. However all the brands you listed (and most retailers) are now putting out their fall/winter stock so it's going to be difficult to find linen
What's your budget?
you know, that's an incredibly obvious answer that completely went past me lol
for the right suit i'd drop 800-900 but wouldn't hate s&m pricing (400-500) if it's doable
wedding's in a week and i have suits i can wear, just using this as an excuse to look around and see if there's anything that i truly love
also, it's possible i'm being overly swayed by this inspo pic's specific styling. idk if this look is as cohesive with a dress shirt rather than the camp collar polo
A week is gonna be a tough turn around for any suit unless it doesn't require alterations
I'm not a huge fan of a white dress shirt under a suit without a tie. Always gives me "I just got out of the office" vibes. I think this fit works well because it's a white knit polo so it's leaning into the summer vibes of the linen suit
oh for sure. i've got a tailor who can turn something pretty quick but likeliest option is i end up using a suit i already owned. but yeah, just thinking i'd look around.
So another brand I've seen lately is Buck Mason. But again it's going to be tough to find linen this time of year
agreed, i'd go knit tie with this if i wore something in this vein
awesome, appreciate it, i'll take a look
did not realize they did suiting
I've got a very similar suit from Beams Plus but the cut is different
You could look around for it if you like the cut. It's from this s/s season
how would you describe the difference in this cut to the one i posted? the narrower chest?
This one is very ivy inspired. It's a sack suit type cut. So very boxy
gotcha. this was helpful, appreciate ya.
