I bought (a while ago) a really nice suit for 200$. It happens to be a “brand name” (not Baroni, I’ve never heard of it) which I got “off season (I guess), and would normally go for (I have no clue). But I liked the suit.
It has the mayilah that it fits, and Ittisa likes it.
I have a relative that only fits in tailored, semi-custom? suits. If that is what works for him, Kol Hakavod.
I see just as much of a problem for paying 1000$ for a suit whether it is designer or not, unless it is needed for other reasons.
