So to summarise, the main reasons to own a Custom Made Suit are: 1. It is better to have a lower quality fabric (not that we are endorsing this), in a suit that is Made-To-Measure, than buy thousands of dollars worth of off-the-rack purchases that does not fit well.
How long does it take to get fitted for a suit?
How quickly can a suit be tailored? A suit can be tailored in a few days, even in a few hours if the store has the bandwidth. However, typically there is some wait and you should expect to wait 2 days all the way up to 2 weeks if the store is busy.
What is a good price for a suit?
A person can pay up to $5,000 for a suit but you can pick up a really good quality suit for around $500. If you watch for sales you can get one for around 200 to 300 dollars. Doing your research on good quality suits can yield a good pay off in the end.
Are expensive suits worth it?
If you are going to look after, care for and generally benefit from wearing an expensive suit then yes, they are worth it. Expensive suits will last for longer, and will look better for longer too. They will also most likely be alterable so as your body changes you can have them altered to fit you for longer.
What is considered a high quality suit?

How much does a proper suit cost?
How much should a good quality custom tailored suit cost you? Well, funnily enough, it's about the same as a regular priced off-the-rack suit: $500 to $800 range: Good quality. $800 to $1,200 range: Very good quality.
Is a $200 suit good?
