I usually eschew branded clothes and expensive trousers/shirts, etc. because, after a particular price range, they are not worth it.
In the case of getting a suit tailor made, going from a 10-15k budget to a 25k-30k budget directly reflects in the material of the suit. Wool with high thread count feels amazing.
Where you live wool makes sense but what about in India ?
Aren't we limited to linens here.
I can think of maybe less than a month in the year where it would be bearable to wear such a wool suit. Different story in the north i suppose.
BUt you did not answer the main question i had, can anybody tell the difference visually. Maybe its more shiny but what about the style of cut etc does it look better.

Feels great.. have to side with Rite on this one. You get what you pay for. Looks and feels perfect. The cloth and tailoring all come together and make you look n feel great.

Actually, no. Linen suits are never for formal/business occasions.
Wool suits are more wearable than suits of any other material, even in India. They are very breathable and easier to wear than material with polyester in it. Even I, someone who doesn't wear a suit everyday, can tell the difference between suit materials. (Maybe not the difference between $1000 suits and $5000 suits, but definitely between non-wool/worsted wool/fine wool). And people who wear suits to work everyday, middle management/upper management can definitely tell.
The cut and style and fit is completely dependent on the tailor. A more expensive tailor will do a better job. (Though I should add... Good fit + mediocre material will always look better than good material and mediocre tailoring).
As for me, I wouldn't buy regular brands available in India. I would either go for tailor made bespoke or decent brands like Tommy/CK for around 12-20k through SYW from Macy's, or similar price for brands like JCrew and stuff. Boss will cost upwards of 25-30k through yoox.com.
Armani and other top brands easily start around 35-60k or even more, if you import through SYW. Indian price will probably be 1.5-2 times of that.

In India, the best option is buying material + giving it to a tailor. For a first time buyer, I would suggest Raymonds for the material. For the tailor, ask around among friends and family or the Raymonds showroom will have an in house or contracted tailor.stalker said:

The reason being the tie. Only executive tie's suit a baby pink shirt. Everything else screams GAY! That's why you'll only find masculine male models with a fair complexion wear an outfit such as yours. They can pull it off without raising an eyebrow. If this is the first time you are trying on a suit (or) If this is the first time you'll appear at a party or an event amongst people whom you know, then your outfit will give everyone the impression that you're screaming for attention. Take my advice VERY seriously.
The next suit will probably be a few months down the line, my second suit.
Should I go for Boggi Milano (Made in Italy, really, and doesn't cost more than 25-30k for a two piece). They have sizes up till 48 and I guess 46-48 should fit me just right.
Or should I go with Vaish at Rivoli once again, around the 25-30k budget with 100% Italian wool.
My first suit will probably take a few more weeks to come out. But a Made in Italy suit for just like 20-25k sounds too tempting. And I do have a few trousers from Boggi and they are pretty much perfect for the price. Although they cost like 5-6k each, but they are too good. I doubt there would be much competition to them unless you want to spend like 10-15k on a pair of trousers.
What say?
Boggi Made in Italy OR Vaish in Rivoli Bespoke with Italian wool???
