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:
- 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.
Inspo pics attached, curious for any suggestions of other brands or places to look. Also I'm gonna be in NYC this weekend so anything I could try on / buy in a store there is a plus.
