Good place to buy velvet jacket?
Looking for a good velvet jacket to wear to dinner with my girlfriend on New Years EVE - found a nice original penguin one but anyone know if their quality is good? Preferably want to spend less than $100. Also does it matter if it’s a sportscoat or dinner jacket if they’re both velvet? What would the difference be?

Gonna be real with you. At less than $100 you need to just get what fits best. Between now and new year you need to get whatever you can get your hands on.
Quality really doesn't matter at your budget and timescale.
True probably shouldn’t have waited lmao
What about for long term if I want to buy a legit good one what are some recs?
Do you have any pics of what looks good to you? Will help a lot
Long term is its own huge quest which also really depends on how much money you want to spend
I like the style of this suit supply one quite a bit

If you live near a suit supply and off the rack fit is good enough just buy that and get it tailored after new year (or if you have money to burn you might be lucky enough to get it tailored before new year, but I wouldn't expect it)
(it won't be $100 though)
lol I actually forgot I have a suitsupply in the city near me that’s not a bad idea
Don’t mind spending that much since SS is generally pretty good
Long term I’d be fine spending upto 2-3K
this one is clean
