Compare the measurements of the used suit you plan to purchase on eBay to a suit that fits you well. Sometimes, used suits may be the size you need but may have been altered by the original owner. Comparing measurements will ensure that the suit will still be a good fit with minimal alterations.

A fused construction suit glues a lower quality interlining into the front panel of the jacket. Nearly all inexpensive suits (below $500 retail) use fused interlining construction. It is the lowest quality of suit construction. Suit jackets with poor quality fused construction interlinings may separate with repeated dry cleaning (you may start to see puckering on the lapel and jacket front as the glued interlining separates from the outer cloth) and do not last nearly as long as sewn half-canvas or full canvas suit construction.

Better modern suits made of lighter weight fabrics that feature half canvas and full canvas interlining construction usually add lightweight fusing as well to give the front of the jacket a bit more body and weight. In summary, cheaper suits will have fused interlining construction, better quality modern suits will feature half or full canvas interlining plus some fusing in construction.

Generally, you dry-clean only when your suit is visibly soiled or dirty. Dry cleaning chemicals inevitably shorten the life of any suit. Dry clean as infrequently as possible (once a year is recommended). By thrift-shopping you can inexpensively acquire a collection of quality suits that are worn in rotation, minimizing the need for frequent dry-cleaning. With these simple precautions, you will be able to get years of good looks and wear from your suit.

Generally, in mass-market brands, the more fashionable a suit is, the poorer the quality. A quality suit is made to last for many years so it will not have the latest faddish details. Buy for longevity. My favorite blazer was purchased used at a thrift shop thirty years ago for $25.00. It has full canvas construction, wears beautifully, and still gets compliments each time I wear it. You can always update the look of a conservative well-made suit with your choice of shirt, tie, and accessories.

If you pay careful attention to the suit measurements mentioned in tip #1 you may need only minimal alterations. Be sure that the suit fits well in the shoulders, as that can be a prohibitively expensive alteration. Generally, waist, cuff, and sleeves can be easily altered. Truthfully, unless you are a fairly standard size, alterations are necessary whether you buy new or used suits.

If you have purchased a used suit on eBay with measurements that match a suit that fits you well, you will avoid more difficult and expensive alterations. You may also find that certain brands fit you better than others. If you buy good quality, that used suit will easily give you ten years or more of service. You may decide that it is worth the expense of professional tailoring.

I purchased an inexpensive sewing machine (Brother 17 Stitch Sewing Machine for $75.00 at Walmart) and taught myself to do basic alterations. It was a great investment, allowing me to do waist, sleeve length and inseam alterations quite easily on my suits, shirts, and pants.

You can put together a high-quality wardrobe very inexpensively by buying used both online and in local thrift shops. The more you know about clothing quality the better you will become at sniffing out true bargains. Two excellent books on menswear that I recommend are found in this post. There are many helpful Youtube videos and websites that can help you to learn more about this subject. Educate yourself and you will save tons of money!

I've had lots of headaches in the past trying to sell things over $30 on eBay before, and my guess is that selling a suit would be an utter nightmare. Anyone have experience selling suits on eBay? Is it worth the trouble?

Fully-fledged pieces of a man's wardrobe, suits confer a superb allure on any man. In regular, slim or extra slim versions, a suit reveals a personality, at times classic and chic, at others modern and stylish. In order to carry off a man's suit properly, both the jacket and the trousers should fit perfectly.

Alessandro Squarzi, named by Esquire magazine as the world's best-dressed man, was happy to own up to the fact that every designer had a reference body shape and based the cut of their men's suits on different standard sizes. Choosing between sporty, svelte, slim and athletic cuts comes down to your physique, the shape of your body. The choice is varied and each design is more elegant than the last, between jackets with two or three buttons, double breasted jackets, with contrasting details or without, high-waist trousers or fitted, with or without a money pocket, mono colour, pinstripes or Prince of Wales check, made in wool, cotton, viscose, linen, silk or cashmere.

Amongst the must-have suits for men, we will remember the pinstripe pieces by the label Corneliani for a businessman style. Depending on the season, you can opt for a Valentino suit in linen or Italian wool to give you an immaculate but laid-back look for day-to-day. The originality of light tones and the prestige of silk are perfect for an evening do or a special occasion, for which a good choice would be a 3-piece suit by a renowned fashion house such as Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton or Givenchy. If it comes with a metallic effect or in a purple, lead or mocha tint, a Paul Smith extra slim suit reveals audacity and a mischievous temperament.

What to look for: As with all safety gear, make sure it is in excellent condition, no tears, rips or worn-through areas. Be sure to make sure the suit has the proper rating for your organization (Typically SFI 3.2A/5 or FIA 8856-2000). Note: Most road racing clubs do not allow two piece suits, look for one piece. Check for damage and bad wear, give it a good sniff over, and #SendIt.
