They are both practically brand new, they just don’t fit me very well. Actually, the grey jacket fits well, but the matching pants are too big…
Grey Suit = 40R Jacket and 34/32 Pants Grey Pinstripe = 42R Jacket and 34/32 Pants
They are both premium Italian wool and never been tailored. In fact, they never been dry cleaned (I didn’t wear them enough). I do not live near campus, so I suggest going to any express men store and try on the size to see if it fits well. Further, I’m not in a great rush to sell, so let me know if you have any questions. They are very nice suits. However, I currently wear 40R and 32/32. I will bring the suit to campus when the bidding ends.

150 for each set. This is very cheap, considering the pants cost ~100 by it self. The grey suit is more professional, as in more appropriate for business settings and interviews. Nevertheless, the pinstripe is a little more eye-catching and fashionable. Additional, I would suggest that you tailor them for that perfect fit. If this is your first suit, get the grey. If not, pinstripe would be a nice addition.
They are both two button (shows more of the tie and you look taller) and dual vent (more European). The pants are Producers, which means that it has a flat front and sits lower on the waist. This makes the suit look more young professionalish, not like your fathers or grandfathers. 3/15/2008 12:43:48 PM |

im going to go ahead and say it. express is weak for pretty much anything except jeans and a few of their business-casual shirts. you are a thousand times better off getting your clothes from H&M, and if you're going for a suit, might as well get a real one. 3/17/2008 10:25:31 PM |

I agree that Express is not known to make the most premiere suits like Armani, BOSS, or Versace…etc. But H&M? I mean it’s a good solid Swedish company and I do shop there when I’m back home in NY. However, they are inexpensive and trendy. They are like IKEA of the fashion industry… Making suits is not their thing. In fact, I don’t even think they make wool suits. Theirs are probably a mixture of polyester and other lower quality materials. I am sorry, but you’re not better off buying H&M. My point is that Express suits are great for the price you pay. 3/18/2008 8:11:16 AM |
