I like Jos a bank Taylor fit suits
Well said. I hate those short suits. In a few years everyone will be laughing at you. Buying off the rack you may have to go with a Long to avoid it.I came here to post pretty much the same thing.
Avoid anything that says it has a "slim" fit or similar description. Ditto if they use "modern" or similar term in the description. Of course, the added problem of a "modern" "slim" fit suit is the jacket may have far too short length.
Rule of thumb: look at the photos on the website of models wearing the suit. If the jacket ends at his wrist, it's probably too slim/modern for your tastes. If the jacket ends at his first knuckle (ie where fingers and palm meet) then you are good to go.
Ultimately, it's how the suit fits on YOU, not on a fashion model (those guys often seem to have extra-long gangly arms and legs) ... so try the suit on and check.

I bought a suit from Indichino and I am VERY satisfied. The fit is superb and it cost me $399 which isnt much more than off the rack suit. I bought it because I needed a heavier wt suit which you dont see off the rack much.Go all out and get a custom suit. You could check out Indochino. They do custom suits and are reasonably priced.
My suits are ancient, I'm sure an online search would give you an idea. But yes custom. Indian, Thai, Chinese tailors.How much does a suit cost in Bangkok? Custom?
I wanted a heavy weight suit which is very hard to find. I also cant stand the skinny suit look. I tried Indochino since I could pick the fabric and was very satisfied. Paid about $379 with a sale. It was the best fitting suit I've had in my life and I used to wear suits every day in 80s and 90s. (always a Canali guy-one of the very few high end suits worth every penny). You make the call on everything from buttons to length to color of the lining.Go all out and get a custom suit. You could check out Indochino. They do custom suits and are reasonably priced.
It seems every chain is now offering Made to Measure. I saw it at Men Wearhouse. Their seelction of fabrics isn't the greatest (probably to keep price down) but you will very likely get a better fit than off the rack.I have not bought off the rack in years. Once you hit about $500, a made to measure suit is going to have a better fit and is more customized to suit you. If you can afford $1,000, you will end up with excellent British or Italian fabrics and all the custom details you could want. I have used both the offshore 'traveling tailors" and local made to measure shops. If you have a local shop that does made to measure, that is the place to start. Made to measure is not the same as custom 'bespoke', but can still be made with identical quality fabrics and excellent fit.
spring for a second set of pants. Presuming no catastrophic spills etc. you will have that combo forever.
