If you're a cheap suit kind of dude Groupon usually has suits on sale for anywhere from 50-150. I've never bought on so I can't talk about the quality but they look straight. No eighteen button three piece pastel colored abominations.

What's a good place to get measured and everything? I was thinking of going to a place like Men's Warehouse just to get it done for free real quick.
Go to any tailor shop or even a dry cleaning business that does alterations.
Ask them to get suit measurements. Arm length, chest, waist, inseam are the bare minimum measurements.
A suit usually comes with a jacket and pants and the pant size is based on your chest size and the pants usually will not come hemmed. You'll have to go to a seamstress or tailor to hem the pants.
If there is no suit that matches your chest/waist combo (if you are either very muscular or just have a strange body shape), then get suit separates. This is when you buy the suit jacket and pants separately (and/or vest), but the fabric is the same.

You can go to men's wearhouse too.
Just get measured. Try on a couple suits. Write down the suit size that fits best.
If you like their suits, you can buy from them, or just keep the measurements and buy a suit elsewhere.

Thanks. I'm probably going to do that then order online from Indochino it looks real nice what they have on there.

Heard As Far As Quality This Blows Out The Competition, And Price Ranges Vary

Men’s Suits, Jackets, Shirts, Trousers, and More | Suitsupply Online Store
echo this one. I got two suits from the one in DC. the quality is on point. I get compliments every time I wear them. around $4-500 a piece.

If you are looking for your first suit fresh out of college or your first job interview, don't go with this. stick to whatever's on sale at jos a. bank. much easier on the pockets, but once you're established I would def. check out suitspply

Nostrand, Linden, or Church Ave are generally safe bets

I was going say suitsupply but $200 budget is kind of tight. indochino is another good one but $200 might be a stretch there too. I have a zara suit for already 200 but make sure you go try it on in store cause their sizing be straight chinese preteen status

Burlington Coat Factory has exactly what your looking for. If your a slim guy, check out the Billy London line of suits. Jackets run you $70, pants run you $30.

I brought 3, black, silver, and navy blue. I get compliments galore when I rock them.

You will find Sean John suits for $130 if your looking for regular fit. Tommy Hilfiger suits run you about $150. Check out the clearance section and you'll find a ton of great deals. Also go to wealthy area's Goodwill, Salvation Army, or Red White & Blue, you will find freaking steals on jackets and pants in great condition by top designers. You'll find jackets for low as $6 and pants low as $4..

Suit Supply if you can afford it. I have a Suit Supply napoli charcoal suit. It is great. On the cheaper end is Combatant Gentlemen($200-240). Combatant Gentlemen I have a shawl midnight blue tuxedo from them. Both are greats fits. For the pricepoint combat gent is pretty dope. It isn't suit supply but they still use decent wool from Italy and then ship that wool to china to be made. Same as how suit supply does it.

You can also get a suit on sale from J. Crew for 1/2 the price, they usually fit really well and are solid quality.
I would check out places like Grailed, or to grab an older Brooks Brothers suit from eBay, and a tailor adjust it for the low.
