$100 for a plastic suit is not a deal and also not a good idea. You can get a wool or wool blend suit for a bit more and it will be a way better experience (in terms of style, durability, looks, and comfort)
Not sure how you got that I'm a fanboy from my post lampooning this deal. Did you start crushing Milwaukee's Best a little early for the holiday weekend?
My point is polyester suit can look decent if it fits nice and you have the body shape to pull it off. A fancy wool suit is not going to magically make someone look dapper. All the suit snobs here need to back off with the suit shaming.
Buy a suit from Charles Tyrwhitt on sale or clearance. Much better quality and 100% wool. I've gotten 100% wool suits from them on clearance for less than $200.
Nordstrom Rack often has the for <$100. You may also find some at Marshalls but not as frequently.
Nordstrom used to be 100% guaranteed but not sure about the Rack. Before Nordstrom closed their retail stores near me, sales person would tell me buy with confidence since it is lifetime warranty and return at anytime, very similar to Costco return policy.....

I used to travel at Client site and always used to buy wool suits. Now, WFM from last two years and didn't touch them once.
Last week found out most of my collections have small holes ieven they were dry-cleaned, stored in suit bags with Moth balls. If you do not use them, they go bad.
That goes for pretty much all attire other than a housecoat. What's your point? Get clothes that fit? I totally agree!

Not every day you need to go to court or attend a board room meeting. I wear a plastic suit when everyone else is in dockers and shirts, still look sharper than most. I have $1000 a set Italian wool suits, I also have $80 plastic suits. I will wear whatever the situation calls for. Buy what you think suit your budget, style, and you can get away with. Each for their own.
With this said, $100 a pair of these are not that cheap. Recently I got two sets similar suits from Macys (Polos) for $100 each as well. That appears to be regular price. Every brand makes entry level plastic suits which is not unsuitable for many situations.
