Good quality Shabbos suits
« on: October 25, 2022, 11:14:54 AM »
I bought a $300+ off the rack suit two years ago from a Jewish store.

After wearing it every week, the jacket is showing small bubbles. The pants went much faster than that, having been patched many times already. But to be fair, I walk six miles every Shabbos which is substantially more than most people.

Is this normal or should I maybe look elsewhere for my next one? Open to recommendations in the Lakewood area.

Sounds normal for weekly use like that.
But I'm very happy with my Indochino.

Haven't done that since I was a bochur, but OP does.

Thought you were implying that Indochino suits would hold up better

Shul is a mile away x 3. That's assuming I don't take a Shabbos walk with my family after the meal or stop at a Kiddush etc.

No :D

Explains the pants, but not the jacket.

This is why I love my sub-$100 Jos. A. Bank suits - I don't need to stress about how long they'll last. OK, for a particularly nice one I'll go up to $120 or even $150.

Seriously - If I'd be paying more I'd have to start making calculations of quality, durability, is it worth paying even more for better quality, etc. At this price point, I can feel comfortable getting it for however long it lasts.

Yup, that's the classic - but honestly, I've been wearing them daily, and if I wear them once a week and it lasts me 2-3 years, looking good (I get compliments on them), that works for me.

My Joseph A. Bank wool coat has lasted the better part of a decade and I'm having trouble finding a good replacement.
