Many customers wonder why one suit costs $150 while another costs $900. The difference isn’t just brand—it’s longevity.

1. Fabric Lifespan

• Cheap suits (synthetic fabrics): Knee bulges, pilling, and shine after months.
• Wool suits: Retain shape and texture even after years of wear.

2. Construction

• Off-the-rack: Standard sizes rarely fit shoulders and sleeves perfectly. Stress leads to early deformation.
• Custom suits: Cut to your exact posture and frame, holding shape longer.

3. Maintenance

• Wool suits: Can be worn for years if dry-cleaned every 3–5 wears.
• Cheap suits: Deteriorate regardless of care.

✅ Cost breakdown:

• $150 off-the-rack, lasts 6 months → $300/year.
• $900 custom wool suit, lasts 5 years → $180/year.

Long-term, custom suits are actually more economical.
