Consider this week five days of saying thank you. Without your readership, your emails, and your willingness to spread the word, Dappered wouldn’t exist. The collection of good guys who frequent this corner of the internet is by far the greatest achievement of this website. And to say thank you, we’ve put together five, splurge-worthy giveaways that’ll hopefully express our gratitude. This is Dappered’s Reader Appreciation Week. Good luck, and thanks a million.
The hard shouldered, polyester lined, over-priced department store suit is stylistically dead. And Suitsupply not only helped put those sad, stiff suits in the ground, their expansion in the US Market has helped shovel dirt on the previous, sad conception of what suit shopping should be like.
For many, shopping for a suit used to be a chore that ended with frumpy, stiff results. With Suitsupply, the experience (whether online or in person) is not only easy, it’s fun. And perhaps more importantly, you end up looking sleek and sharp, all while spending less cash than most casting an eye in your direction would fathom to guess.
Suitsupply’s $399 line of suits has to be the best bang-for-the-buck suits out there.
Half canvas. Terrific fabrics. Soft shoulders.
Suitsupply’s use of soft shoulders, Italian fabrics, and half or full canvas construction while remaining at a more than reasonable price has rocketed them to the top of many a guy’s “want” list. From timeless basics like notch-lapel navy or charcoal two button suits, to very fashion forward checks & plaids, to a limited selection of suit separates for guys who can’t fit into standard “drops.” Suitsupply does it. And they do it well. All while offering free shipping and free returns for US customers.
Suitsupply’s $399 Soft Italian Tweed, Blue Check Havana Sportcoat.
And while suits might be their bread and butter, they have a lot more than that on their menu. Their sportcoats come in a wide range of fits (just like their suits), have the same great construction & Italian fabrics, and are often half-lined. Their outerwear selection ranges from stone-cold classics to wild patterns and fabrics. And their shoes and leather goods retain the same balance of fantastic style, solid construction & materials, and reasonable price.
In terms of what you get for your money, Suitsupply seems to have their competition soundly beat. Construction, materials, service and selection. Suitsupply really does excel in it all. And while they continue to expand their brick & mortar store presence in the U.S., their offering of free shipping & free returns means you can get your hands on something from Suitsupply, risk free, even if you’re nowhere near a store.
The ill fitting, sad quality, low arm-hole department store suit is dead. Long live Suitsupply.
