00:00 $200 Suit vs $2000 Suit Introduction
While many men assume that a suit is just a suit, all menswear garments come in different qualities and price ranges that massively impact what they are like to wear and style; failing to distinguish between these realities is like failing to distinguish between cars like a Tata and a Bugatti.
00:32 $200 Suit: What Are The Sacrifices
Frankly, at this price point, you must make sacrifices in terms of quality. There's no way around that. There are certain fixed costs you have -- the material you have, things like shipping, the infrastructure like a shop or an online storefront, and the people involved. You won't be able to get a custom suit at that price point unless you go to a really low labor-cost country like India for example.
04:58 How They're Made
$200 Suit
→ All machine work, no handiwork
→ Poor, boxy fit
→ Thick at the seams
→ Reduced flexibility
$2000 Suit
→ Handiwork at essential points to improve fit versatility
→ Elegant detailing
06:00 Pattern & Fit
$200 Suit
→ Very simplified patterns -- single-breasted, lapel shape only has two buttons, no extra details, no half-back belt, no pleats, etc.
$2000 Suit
→ Can customize it to your personal preferences
→ More handwork overall
$200 Suit
→ Trendy or poorly designed
→ Boxy, cheap
$2000 Suit
→ Wider range of patterns
→ Can find what fits you
10:07 Fabric
$200 Suit
→ Synthetic -- like shell, stuffy, shiny, and unpleasant
→ Lining is hot
$2000 Suit
→ Natural, quality ingredients
14:29 Construction
$200 Suit
→ Glued, flimsy interlining
$2000 Suit
→ Half or full canvas -- superior structure, drape
18:00 The Suit Pattern
$200 Suit
→ Trendy or poorly designed -- boxy, cheap
$2000 Suit
→ Wider range of patterns -- can find what fits you
19:27 Extra Details
$200 Suit
→ Obviously machined buttonholes
→ Wide, deep armholes
→ Plastic buttons
$2000 Suit
→ Attention to detail -- subtle elements that genuinely improve the wearing experience
21:49 In A Nutshell
Ultimately, only you can decide how much you are willing to spend on a suit based on your particular needs. With the information in this guide, you are now able to make informed decisions while carrying out your purchase because you know exactly what to expect at both the $200 and the $2,000 price point.
