Casual/relaxed/"workwear" suit
Thinking of getting a suit in this vein: loose-ish casual cut, no structure, more durable/"workwear"-y material (so probably cotton but open to cotton blends, NOT wool), ideally something on the border of being a "set-up" rather than a traditional suit. Probably a pretty boring color (navy, olive). Budget up to like the 7-800 dollar range, maybe up to 1000? Open to used but I feel like this sort of thing is pretty hard to find secondhand.
Points of reference and options I've thought about:
Points of reference and options I've thought about:
- Vintage Brooks Brothers wash n wear. A little bit too trad in cut / details, would like something slightly goofier.
- Buck Mason Capitola. Also just sliiiightly on the too formal/trad in cut, looking for something slightly funkier
- Drake's Games Suit. Still slightly too dressy, also costs 1 billion dollars.
- Engineered Garments. Obvious choice, right amount of weird, but none of their jackets quite hit right.
- Canoe Club x Beams Plus. Pretty neat, but sold out, material seems kind of weird.
- I know some of my inspo pics are from Lemaire; Sillage; Kaptain Sunshine, no need to tell me those brands. All either too expensive or I can't find a suit from on sale rn or both.
