GQ Rules 3 - Ep.8 - Suit Up in Style for Under $500

[AlcraineProductions]

If it's anything like virgin olive oil it's the first pick of wool from the sheep

[iOtameganeKun]

This is kinda out of the topic but what's the difference between wool and virgin wool?

[milton123]

Anybody know how much bespoke suits will cost? like the cheapest probably that's out there

[ODannyBoi]

BR isn't bad for someone on a budget. They have alot of sales. I got a black monogram suit. made with italian super 120's wool. Originally about $700 retail, got it for about 360

[gijosephacoleman]

Banana Repulic is for really skinny, lanky dudes like these guys. I guarantee none of the other 20 people on staff for this video can fit into these suits.

[hlim0621]

This blue suit looks horrible. If I had the money to blow on a $1500-2000 suit, I probably would. But for a young man entering the working world with limited finances, BR’s charcoal suit is decent for what it is – not perfect (and it still needs tailoring) – but decent. IMO, the charcoal suit is the only suit worth buying from BR, especially with the 30-40% off promo.

Good taste in clothing takes practice and knowledge. Although a great org, sometimes GQ leads men in the wrong direction.

Polka dot tie = ultra gay

And that's way over priced...

[cristianmichaels1]

@Chimpofthedead... Banana Republic, I won't buy. But in the suit world, that is very cheap...If you are looking for full canvas, well draped suit, hand made suit, $495 does not close.

[Chimpofthedead]

@cristianmichaels1 fair enough, but I can buy a nice charcoal black suit for $200 au and it still looks pimp as

[cristianmichaels1]

@Chimpofthedead I am not promoting Banana Republic, Although i used to work for them. If someone had $495, I would advise him to save it or add to it to buy a better quality suit. Really it comes down to what you are looking for and your views on men's clothing. For example, I am not a computer savvy, and all I am looking for from a computer is going online, send email, use Microsoft. So I went and get myself a $300 laptop, didn't understand why some others were $1500+. The truth is those two

[cristianmichaels1]

...laptops are even comparable, while I think that I just made a great deal buying a $300 laptop, a computer savvy and enthusiast is thinking that I just waste my money. I did ask and the rep was trying to tell me the difference between the laptop I bought and those others, Honestly, not one thing he said made sense nor were they important to me. Sure, a $200 suit will cover your body, but comparing it to a highly made suit is the same comparing my laptop on the same level as the $1500+ ones.

peak lapels are douchey and gaudy and an absolute no-no for job interviews

[TB12istheGOAT]

'Don't like it. Banana Republic? For a good suit? For that price I can get a Super 120, made in Italy and perfectly tailored, right here in my hometown (Miami).

[cristianmichaels1]

@TB12istheGOAT Agree, but I have not find a good Tailor. Who are you referring to?

[XZohar123]

Fucking ugly suit

[Glisevask]

The rope shoulder look terrible and if you can't afford a more expensive suit, peak lapels and pinstripes are probably not for you anyway.

[jw4208]

@varun009 because.... the quality of your suits are probably horrible. Either buy a cheap suit, and keep it for a few months to a year. Or buy a quality, expensive suit and keep it long enough to even pass it on to your son. Unless you're talking about thrifting those suits...

[varun009]

$475! pshh! i can get 3 custom tailored suits and 6 custom shirts from bangkok for that much!

[AndrewTraceur]

@varun009 I would gladly pay $475 in order to avoid stepping foot in any part of Thailand.

[varun009]

@AndrewTraceur because...

[varun009]

its the shine that gives it away... otherwise its looks better than many of the expensive suits that ive seen

[Vallecaucanisimo]

@varun009 I bet you can get better looking ones.... I like it a lot, except for the pants, they are too tight. A little bet more slack looks better.

[varun009]

@Vallecaucanisimo well then again it is cut to his body and maybe he prefers tighter pants i just realized that it wasn't the suit i liked it was the fit on the model.

[antropoloscar]

looks VERy inexpensive...thats not the image i would like to portray

[Vallecaucanisimo]

@antropoloscar Well yes, but then do you have to show everywhere you go how much money you got? I mean for work and for casual occasions it is just perfect....
