I've been able to live successfully in hoodies and t-shirts for some time but I think my capacity to avoid more formal occasions must be reaching its natural limit. I don't plan to go back to Australia any time soon (and I'd rather not cram a compulsory suit purchase into an unplanned trip), so where does a gaikokujin gentleman go in Nagoya to get suited up?
I'd probably be aiming at a reasonable budget; I wouldn't be wearing it often but would want sufficient quality to be assured the problem is sorted for the foreseeable.
Where do you buy a suit?
Re: Where do you buy a suit?
I went to Aoki Suits when I needed one. It wasn't cheap, but I'm not exactly the standard size here in Japan and it was my only option short of getting something tailor-made.

Re: Where do you buy a suit?
Someone told me they were really impressed with Suit Select in Kanayama. I should probably check them out too honestly, since the one suit I have was tailored to American diet Grant and is a good bit too wide for me now But I'm also in the, "I don't reaaalllyyy need a suit" limbo.

Re: Where do you buy a suit?
Most of the mega-off-the-rack suit stores are OK IME (I think I got my last one at Suit Select, but it was a while ago - I only wear one a couple times a year anymore), but then I'm pretty average-sized.
Feel free to call me Dave!
