eBay suit
Hi guys. I hate to ask this but I’ve been searching hours and hours over the past weeks for a good plain black suit in my size.. 46R 41W. And I’m at a loss. If anyone can maybe help me fix my search criteria or help me find something I would be grateful.

Budget man
Oh sorry
Budget is probably like under 200
Brooks brothers Madison stuff fits me well
A larger cut in the waist
I have measurements
It’s not black
😦

Brooks Brothers 1818 Black Wool Suit Set 46LM Waist 41 Inseam 31 Made USA
Yeah I messaged that person for better pics
Because idk what LM is?
I don’t think that’s a 46R?
Maybe a typo and it’s 46L
“Long, mens”
Ahh if it’s a long it’s prob too long for me
Need my glasses :xd:

Uomo Men’s Black Suit W/pants, Jacket, And Belt Size 46R
The jacket has a regular length and a two-button front button style. The suit has a flat front and a belted feature to enhance your waistline.
No measurements on that one :/
Also idk that brand at all
alr I give up
good luck 🫡
Yeah I figured that would happen
Thank u
Pinstripe one is fantastic
Just buy and have altered at a tailor
👍
It’s $125 who cares about the brand
For $125 it seems very overpriced for polyester
And idk if it fits because no measurements for shoulders, waist, chest, sleeves, lenght
I love that one tbh, my sister wants “black” for the suits tho and idk it’s super hard to find a plain black suit lol
I think that’s more a charcoal
have you sent it to her
And the stripes too
She just says “I already told you”
I wasn’t gonna say anything but if you’re worried about the material at one hundred and fifty American dollars you’re never finding this suit man
ok I’m leaving again
I’m not too worried but when I can get a brooks brothers 1818 for $150 why buy a cheap polyester for the same price?
If it was less than $50 maybe
Clearly you can’t get one
Or you wouldn’t be here
Asking us to find you one
I can just not a black one apparently 😬
With such a limited budget and since you have to be picky with color Its a little difficult
Have you tried local thrift stores?
I’ve tried Macys, Nordstrom rack
Everything at Macys is slim fit and didn’t fit well at all
And Nordstrom rack didn’t have a single suit in size 46 even to try on
I mean like Salvation Army or goodwill
When I was in school and couldn’t afford anything I took an okay fitting suit and brought it to a tailor and it became decent
The fabric wasn’t stellar but since there’s a time crunch and budget crunch it’s hard to have it all
yeah realistically the longer you wait the more likely it is you'll have to spend more money on something you don't even really like.
Well I really don’t have any time left tbh it’s getting late
ok so adjust your standards
I guess I can go back to Macys and try to find something again
$150 for a poly blend suit to spend a few hours in and let your sister have a nice wedding instead of stressing her out should be more than enough motivation for you
Yep I’ve had a junk polyester suit as well when I was in the same shoes as you
Sure but if I know it fits that’s different than shooting blind on something when I can get a suit at Macys for the same price
That’s not worth )150
Ok and can you
Because if you can't then ??????
Where is this mystical suit
If I just go and find something that fits probably
Ok do that then
I wanted to get something not cheap looking
Full of polyester
They do have some 70% wool stuff
I agree I wouldn’t want that either
But you have to pay with either time or money to find something nice
If both are a limitation then it’s very difficult
I can up the budget a little
I also need to find some shoes and a belt .. haven’t started looking
But I’d like some Allen Edmonds I know those fit me
I would keep it to about 200 and spend the rest on tailoring
Size 9E
Good luck my friend
I’ll look
Tailoring like
What would it need
Sleeves prob
Anything else idk
Sleeves and pants
Think the 46L will fit?
There’s several 46L for sale
But they are 1 inch longer
Just bring it to a tailor and ask for their advice
This is a 46 R on me
Nice
They look good my friend
L too long then?
If you want it shorter bring to a tailor and say “I would like this shortened” or ask for their advice
I’ve worn that length and shorter it all depends if you want a slouchier boxy suit or something closer fit to the body
I’m saying if buying a longer suit is a bad idea
Like
Buying a 46L would be an inch longer
Than what is oictured
An L would be fine and work as a suit for your event, a tailor could turn it into good and would also work for your event
Both would work for your event

Brooks Brothers Mens Madison 2 Btn 1818 Black Suit Sz 46 L MINT!
An absolutely beautiful, men's, Brooks Brothers, 1818, black 2 button suit, in mint condition! Size 46LMeasurements Shoulder to shoulder. 21”Chest. 24”Sleeves. 25.5”Jacket length. 32”Pants: 42 X 31
In that case there’s this
I would bid something lower and see
Just get the damn suit and stop thinking about it
Just get this one dude, it being a poly blend is absolutely fine for 125 bucks for something you need for one specific event and will hopefully not have to wear again (use cases for a black suit are pretty limited)
Guarantee you most people at this wedding will be wearing some sort of poly blend suit
This, and honestly at some american weddings showing up in an actual suit at all is crushing it
I've had rentals that were more expensive for weddings - I would be thinking of this suit like a rental to make your sister happy. She shouldn't be stressing about the suit her brother is going to wear
I've had to wear shitty suits I hated for weddings when I was in wedding parties more times than I can count and I survived and had a good time
i read all of this thread and there was a lot of good advice given
@Bread buy the long suit and take it to tailor to get adjusted. "too long" is normally not an issue because people can typically just fold fabric and also no one is going to call you put for having a jacket an inch too long at someone's wedding
yes you could find a brooks brothers suit or great cheap shoes like other people do around here but respectfully it seems you do not have the time to be this picky
The poly blend one (46R) and the Brooks Bros (46L) one are 2 different suits to be clear, but yeah that just reinforces that either will be fine, just pick one and be done with it 😄 Both are a slight compromise but with time + budget you gotta compromise somewhere
go to a department store or local shoe store, but a pair of black leather shoes, and wear them. ditto belt
go to a tailor and ask to get the jacket shortened. they will likely ask you "where" or "how much" and then you tell them
enjoy being a part of your sister's wedding and the start of her new life
If wedding is 2 weeks out if you’re waiting for shipping time you might need to pay for a rush job so be warned
and then, after all of that, start saving up if you want a "great" black suit and "great" black shoes, rather than putting yourself in a situation where you're adding undue stress to yourself.
Ima get the 46L
I know it fits at least
As I have another BB 1818 in the same cut and size but an R
I put an offer in
Let’s see if they take it lol
Oh he accepted it for 150
:xd:
nice dude
So now I need look for shoes
I know Allen Edmonds fit me
9e
So I’ll search. Is there a specific model I want
For a versatile black shoe

Allen Edmonds. I will be in touch with you, generally within the hour. If its late or on the west coast, it may be in the morning. One thing that the SFI label indicates is that materials used to make the boxes is from recycled materials.
these are probably out of budget but they're gonna be the most versatile https://www.ebay.com/itm/176762181756?_skw=allen+edmonds+randolph+9e&itmmeta=01JGPRQBDXYBYFSE3PZ9GQR8MN&hash=item2927d8d87c:g:WogAAOSw3pBncGaI&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKmyJOEd538IY0pLBC83M3EKtRBzSLuf1LEFVDQmbvu91Ns%2F0uIpMal7fgIq%2FZiQ6ZwqWgyc0tk8OaExcX%2FGBkk5C1kWGZ6wg6fWA1LtmLY0JBAk6gRXpXyt5cw8sCy4WN4a6yGuLiKm4b2xdKUzoQKiXCiHGMD3qTQtaOnL5Ar0svnZYUF%2FPn9BU2W5%2Fe%2BOfCclJoZb8w9oHPWfoatc%2ByngD4oJy7MCQdr90bX4CncrTAi%2FxtYSFUR4Xgfuw%2FRX9XfS76fFOQBEQRSd1IbqWj687bJAL3YL7fgG7AKHzYAsFQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMhrfd2IVl

Excellent pre-owned condition penny loafers.
Are loafers considered formal?
Like for a wedding

I was thinking oxfords?
Cap toe

Crafted with black leather, these cap-toe Oxfords feature a round toe shape and lace-up closure for a classic look. The shoes are lined with leather and have a leather insole and outsole for added comfort and durability.
Those look decent. Is there a way to clean the soles and inside?
disinfectant spray
Would you get a loafer or Oxford
A loafer is more versatile because it can be worn casually and formally
But yeah, oxfords are considered a more formal shoe so if you’re worried about that get the oxford
But I guarantee no one is going to say ‘look at this slob’ if you show up wearing loafers
I got married in loafers
Haha I mean the loafers are cool for sure
I also need a belt for it
Don’t have any black dress belts
Got a brown one
for my wedding i wore a cheap reversible belt from macys
no one could tell in pictures
i too got married in loafers if that's worth anything

Allen Edmonds Carlyle 9E Black
Allen Edmonds Carlyle 9E Black F2. Gently used worn only with a few times. They’re very nice, but the sizing just is not right for me. Comes with original box. Shoe trees not included.
Thoughts
They look in great condition
But no captoe
Looks great bud 👍🏻
Seriously?
I mean
Are they oxfords?
Yes
Are there better options? Whats going on with the bottom?
There are no better options at your budget, size, and deadline
Buy any of the ones that have been linked
You are severely overthinking this
I don’t want to spend $100 without thinking
Idk what to tell you man
These are all great options
Buy one or don’t
Thank you
