Why these suits are so expensive?

Fit. Presentation. Strength. Service.

The big one is fit. Cheaper clothes are generally made to provide for the most extended possible variety of body frames. While some people are fortunate enough to fit into these around perfectly, a large proportion of consumers are not well fitted to them. Deluxe suits come in some more intricate measurements and fit so that it needs least tailoring. If you’re looking at very expensive suits, then made-to-fit or even bespoke suits are going to suit you flawlessly.

 

Presentation. This links slightly to fit, but more so regards the substance used. As opposed to fleece or linen, they are made of poorer stuff such as polyester. We can recognize a hundred dollar jacket right off the bat only by glancing at how the light affects it. There are also other signs, such as buttons and vents.

 

Regarding the stuff again, a pricier outfit is going to serve you ten+ years, if cared for properly – perhaps a lifetime. 

 

Service. Usually not a point to raise, but we think its important. When you buy a new outfit, you anticipate excellent customer service. Expensive outfits from boutique stores and tailored clothes offer some of the best customer services. It makes the experience pleasant and lowers the monetary blow of such an investment.
