How can you tell if someone is wearing a cheap suit?

First, here is 10 ways to spot a cheap suit.

  1. CHEAP PLASTIC BUTTONS. Do the buttons look cheap, flimsy and painted to match the color of the fabric?
  2. PLASTIC BUTTON ANCHORS. Classic cheap tailor move.
  3. PAPER-Y LINING.
  4. SYNTHETIC FIBERS (& SIZING S-XL)
  5. NO SEAM ALLOWANCE.
  6. LAPELS “UN-ROLLING”
  7. FUSING BUBBLES.
  8. LOW ARMHOLES.

What’s the difference between cheap and expensive suits?

Usually the cheaper the suit price, the cheaper the fabric and make. Essentially, with an expensive suit you can expect to study three key components: fabric, fit, & make. However, it is possible to have good fit in a cheaper suit, not in all cases but it is possible.

  5. The Design.

How do you know your suit size?

To correctly determining your suit size, you need to measure your (1) height, (2) chest circumference, (3) hip circumference, and (4) waistband. You also need to know your (5) step length (along the leg, from crotch to the ground) and (6) your side length (from the waist over the hip to the sole).

Can you tell if a suit is expensive?

If there’s very little fabric left and it’s just an overlock stitch that keeps the fabric from fraying, you’ll likely have a cheap suit in your hand. If the suit has cuffs, you can also take a look at that because a proper cuff is long and folded and in theory, you can take out the stitching and elongate your pants.
