Guys, I work in a role where I have to wear a suit and tie every work day. I have my nicer 1k+ suits that I don't wear that often but I need advice on some good workhorse suits. Looking for slim fit, flat front, and something that looks decent. Looking for suits <500 bucks and I wanted to get some opinions. I've bought suits from Jeff from Wizardofaahs in the past and have been pleased with the look and quality of the suits for the money. Can you please give some brand names to look at or online merchants that sell a decent suit at a reasonable price? Thanks!

Try SuitSupply, if you have a more slim/athletic build.

Agree with other posters, best bet at that pricepoint is Suit supply or BB Fitz/Milano (don't have experience with Regent).

Also check out Z Zegna on sale (fused), Yoox for Corneliani and Caruso on sale, Hickey (slim version of Hickey Freeman).

I also have some J Crew Ludlow which are okay if the cut works for you, and are the cheapest of the bunch.
