DH got a tux last year that he really likes (Byron) and now he wants a new suit. I know what the tux cost, I'm wondering how much nice suits cost from the same vendor? Are tuxes or suits usually more expensive?

Suit vs tux cost?

I would say between $600-$1000. A classic suit of high quality is worth the investment. If you consider it gets worn at a minimum of once per week for ten years you're looking at less than $2/use for a suit that costs $1000.Tara

The last JAB suit we bought was pretty inexpensive. The last MW suit we bought was much more expensive than the JAB suit and is complete crap when you compare the material quality and workmanship of the product.

Thanks gang, DH has ONE suit store he has bought all of his suits from, they have all lasted. He still has (and wears) the one he wore for med school interviews in 1999!! I'm just going to make up a card that tells him to go pick out a new one but I want to give him a budget and didn't want to be completely low balling him.Wife to NSG out of training, mom to 2, 10 & 8, and a beagle with wings.

Both DH's suits and his tux cost $500. We got one of the suits (Barney's brand) and tux (Burberry) from Barney's Warehouse Sale in NY. He's had them for 6 years and they still look great, he wears each several times a year. The other suit came from a semi-custom place in NY (they measure but the sawing is done in Mexico). I'm not thrilled with that one. Most likely we'll go back to Barney's next time he needs a suit/tux.
