The Best Suit For Under $300

Before y'all shame me, I know how crazy this sounds. Advocating for a mall brand suit in Esquire. I should be debating lapel widths, shoulder styles, and fabrics with fellow menswear guys. I should be telling every man the value befriending a tailor. But hear me out. I'm young, broke, and have amassed a small collection of too-nice-for-my-income vintage suits at estate sales, eBay auctions, and consignment stores. But wearing those suits felt like a schtick. I needed a Level One suit, something cheap that I could beat up and incorporate into my way too casual wardrobe. This Collins suit from Abercrombie & Fitch is exactly what I needed.

Kate wanted to know why I wouldn’t play with her. “Because I’m stuck.” She wanted to know why I was stuck. “Because it’s hard.” She thought about this for a minute and said, “Then why do it, Dad?
