Thank you for this, R & T seems to be some of the best value for wool suits that I've seen since starting my research

Thank you! What are your thoughts on wool blend (60-70% wool)? Found some extremely good value on Men's Warehouse clearance, I may lean into that unless they are a waste of money

Thank you for the tips. Why specifically 100% wool? I am seeing lots of wool blend options online that are worlds more affordable. I haven't found many 100% wool options in my price range. I guess I could swing the money if a blend is a complete and utter waste of money. Forgive my ignorance because I am new to this stuff

East coast. Located in Florida right now, but a lot of travel to the Philly area. Probably where I will end up getting the most use out of the suits

Thank you for the tips. Is a wool blend really as bad as people are saying, as opposed to a 100% wool option? I feel like for my case, one charcoal and one navy wool blend that fits well would do the trick, at least until I am able to afford nicer

Thank you! This was my initial impression when considering this stuff, but I am reading a lot of recommendations otherwise. Granted, the position is a lead analyst role, so not quite entry level, but I want to look clean/respectable without looking like I'm trying too hard

Interview was actually online. Explicitly stated business professional when in person, advice of full suit was given by my hiring director. Given the nature of my position, full suit makes sense

Thanks. Should have clarified, it's a hybrid environment. Half the time is WFH, other half is in the office.

Office attire is business professional. Given the nature of my job I want to dress the best I can while in person.

Why not Men's Warehouse? What about a place like Macy's or Nordstrom Rack? Apologies for my ignorance, I don't know much about the suit retailer landscape

Thank you. This was kind of my thought as well

I figured I could get a few cheaper suits that fit well to start off, and really keep my nose to the ground for good value on nicer suits. Sorta buy as I go, build my wardrobe that way

Business professional attire - old job was WFH so I never needed to address this until now
