| When my son needed a new suit, we went to a better department store where they had a lot of syles and brands. He tried on a few of the coats in his size until he found one that he liked, and then had the whole thing altered at the store. It was ready in a couple of days.
Sometimes you can find a sale.
He wore the suit to his junior and senior prom, cum laude induction, and a couple of weddings. He took it to college, but didn't use it at all. He did, like wbow's son, wear his navy blazer and khakis to a couple of campus events and to other family gatherings. The blazer/dress pant has been a much more useful and versatile combo than the suit. It's nice to have both, though, and if the kid is finished growing, a good investment.
I think I paid $275 for my son's suit, 2+ years ago. It's at the cleaners now, as we have an early July wedding in the family. He'll be ready-- where dd needed a new dress!
