Cheap suit!

Where is the best place to buy a relatively cheap suit in KM? All the threads here seem to be fairly old, or all mentioning custom made.

I just want something that looks alright, and can wear occasionally. Doesn't need to be of the highest quality!

1. go check out rack suits at ginko. If you can, get measurements.
2. take measurements to tailor.

Be careful about pockets, belt loops, zippers, cuffs. If you want pinched creased pants versus straight. Check the work on the liners. The pants should also come with an inside belt liner (to help keep your shirt tucked in).

Most tailors aren't craftsmen or professional - more attuned to stitching together body bags and pillow cases, so caveat emptor (buyer beware).

FYI - it'll take several iterations before you have a custom suit that actually fits you and feels comfortable to wear...so beware the "cheap tailored suit"...you just might be chucking money down the toilet.
