Why aren't you wearing a $8,500 Kiton suit right now?

because I drive a forklift for a living

>>11986994
Why not drive the forklift in a tailored vicuna wool suit?

>>11986994
is it fun?

The suit on the left does give off a "I get shit done" feeling

>>11986970
Because I'm only 23 and wear business casual clothes and Clarks shoes to work.

I come from poverty.

Fuck, rich people truly have it best in life.

>>11987003
what?

>>11986970

Because nobody needs a suit like that, there's plenty of decent threads for 1/8 to 1/4 of that price

Price =/= style my man

>>11986970
Because it's not worth the price. You can get significantly better tailoring of both Italian and English style for one.third to half the price, with better cloth as well.

>>11986970

>$8,500
>off the rack

kek

you could spend $2,000 and get a better suit made of better cloth made-to-measure from a saville row tailor

why the fuck would anyone WANT to wear an $8,500 kiton suit?

>>11987114
Because you can upgrade to the $35,000 bespoke version.

>>11987119

why would i want to do that when i can get a better (in every conceivable way) bespoke suit on sav row for 1/10th the price?

>>11986970

because I'm wearing $16,000 worth of Rick Owens at the moment

>>11986970

Mine is down in NY for dry cleaning. Had to fly over to assess my small business venture in Colorado.

the value of my life right now is probably less than $8500

i make 11/hr part time

>>11986970
because I can get higher quality suits from a saville row trained cutter/tailor made to a unique pattern that fits me perfectly, for less than half that price locally...

designer suits are the biggest fucking meme

>>11986970
lmfao babby got his first suit and wants to stunt on 16 year olds so he goes to 4chan

kiton is shit btw

>>11987518
only honest answer in the thread

>>11986970
Because it's 4 in the morning. I'm gonna go to bed soon

Maaaaaaan this thread just WREAKS of insecurities right now!

because I make my own suits and work in a business wear shop.

Daily reminder that slim fit suits were a grotesque mistake. Relax fit like Kiton (who kept it relly during that Godforsken time of effeminate slim fit) is where true elegance is.

Not even meme'ing but I think Rick Owens makes the best blazers.

And I wouldn't pay near $8k for an entire suit, ever. For that price, I could get a few custom-made.

I am that anon and I agree

>>11987907
Standard recommendation for a $500-range suit is Suitsupply. If you live in a major city e.g. NYC, London, Paris you can get second hand suits of high quality quite cheaply if you know where to look.

>>11990528
They're technically not dress shoes, they're some kind of blucher. Looks fairly standard cut to me.

>>11987011
you can make it anon you can be rich I BELIEVE IN YOU.

>>11991348
Not that i can't appriciate what they do, Carlo Barbera plus an obsession with making everything by the hands of great tailors should make anyones mouth water. I also really like that they aren't afraid of using a lot of colours, their collections are usually far from "boring" business suits.

Problem is that nowadays there are small shops that make suits that are, say, 90% of what Kiton does at 50% the price.

>>11986970
I don't know anything about Kiton suits but I own a Kiton suede bomber and it's tops.

if you're the kind of person who can afford an $8,500 suit, I doubt you're too concerned with wasting money

>>11990494
Definitely not a teenager

What's the opinion on combatant gent or Frank's and oak for the Uber poor?

>>11986970
because it looks like a regular ass suit you could buy for less than 200

I always liked the way PJohnson makes suits.

I'll fly to London one day to give them my measurements. Supposedly they're not even that expensive, starting at 1.250 USD.

>>11986997
>>11989863
I also drive a forklift. It's all right

>>11986970
Looks like the poster to a movie where a bunch of big business guys die but then are given a second chance as mannequins and they have one final deal to close.

tfw you're a skinny fuck and can't find any suit jackets at are like a 37-38R

feels bad man

>>1198974
>recommends black label over purple.

Are you even trying?

>>11991292
T-thank you.

We're all gonna make it!

I agree. I think its the broad stripes on the shirt

>>11986970
bro im living with my mom and going to college wtf

damn the bottom half of that suit is fucking terrible

guys you can get your own suit made with whatever details you want instead of the combo shown, imo the lapel roll and shoulders look great

Honestly, they really don't. Very standard shoulders, those will restrict your arm movement a lot (raise your arms and it will look bad) and the lapels dont really look that great either, especially with that breast pocket.

>>11991408
Someone?

>>11990528
He looks like an Asian Costanza

>>11986970
Because I'm not a fru fru faggot who wears suits

>>11993921
Original anon who said it had that look, you're very right.

>>11989265
>>11987907
Check out Combatant Gentleman as well..might have to wait for their stock to replenish, but they have some really good deals for their quality. Spend the remainder of your money on a good tailor.

Very happy with my suit supply suit.

>>11994928
I make $11.75/hr part time as a line cook in a town of 12,000. The trick is to be a hard worker and occasionally threaten to quit so they panic and give you a raise to convince you to stay. It helps that I was full time for the first year I worked there.

>>11994943
Its a problem for Kiton. Im also not so sure about their super thin fabrics (the heaviest they make is 180?) in the long term, though i do love the feel of Carlo Barbera fabrics.

>>11995092
Nice, please tell me you own some land in the woods. All I want to do in life is live in the woods where I don't have to bother talking to my neighbors

>>11986970

It wouldn't survive my daily schedule. I prefer $600-700 suits.

is that a fucking michelin man lapel pin?

suit sleeves should be short but his shirt sleeves need to come up to his hand.
and what the fuck are those shoes. fucker should be sent to the gulag for them.

>>11996631
Do Michelin Guide judges get that pin?

>>11986970
Because I don't have enough money and even if I did, I'm not a fan of their overly formal cuts.

It just wouldn't look good on me, so I'll stick to better looking and cheaper suits.

>>11986997
Drove a forklift for 3-4 years at Coca Cola.

It's only fun the first two weeks, then it gets incredibly boring.

>>11995332
A pretty good suggestion, really. The "new" OJ offers full canvas construction for like 1000 dollars with nice fabrics and details. One of the best budget business brands desu, if they have stayed with the same concepts as before.
