Here us out: the Black Friday suit deals might make right now, the very moment you’re chowing down on a makeshift leftover-turkey sandwich, the best time in months to snag some real-deal tailoring. As of this morning, Black Friday is in full swing, and while you could of course decide to just focus on finding discounted fitness gear and face wash, here’s another idea—turn this into the historic day that you finally become the owner of a suit you actually love. Not the one you bought in a rush for that wedding last summer, or the hand-me-down from your older brother that never fit quite right. No, it’s time to plant a flag in the soil, and start wearing the heck out of a suit that tells the world just how highly you rightly view yourself.
There really is no better time. So many of our favorite suits are currently on sale for as much as 50% off, which in the world of tailoring, translates to saving hundreds of dollars, if not thousands. And of course, you’re not just getting a suit here, you’re also getting two separates: The jacket also goes with jeans, the dress pants also go with tees.
Below, we’ve gathered the Black Friday suit deals that truly stood out from the rest. And remember, there’s no need to worry too much about figuring out a perfect fit over the internet: Put a fraction of the savings you’re making towards a trip to the tailor once it arrives, and the suit will look (and feel) like it was made for only you by the end of the week.

J.Crew Kenmare Scottish Lambswool Flannel Double-Breasted Suit
The Kenmare suit, which we’ve tested extensively, is the relaxed alternative to J.Crew’s classic Ludlow. It’s the right cut for right now, especially in this toasty Scottish lambswool.
Umit Benan B+ Double-Breasted Wool Suit
In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re gravitating strongly towards double-breasted suits this Black Friday. Here’s a classic of the form—inspired by 1980s Italian and Japanese suiting—that you can save literally over $1,000 on today. Yes, it’s still an investment, but you’re getting 100% Buffalo horn buttons, a 100% wool outer, and a 100% silk lining. And that is unheard of at this price point.
Banana Republic Signature Italian Wool Flannel Suit
In case you hadn’t heard, Banana Republic is truly great now—just take their wool suits, made from Italian wool and cut for a slim but natural fit. The special thing about this one is, it’s pinstripe. And the great thing about a pinstripe suit? White a dress shirt and some cap-toe Oxfords, you’ll close any deal. But with a white tee and loafers, you’ll close…other kinds of deals.
Boglioli Double-Breasted Cotton-Blend Suit
Boglioli, the master Italian suitmaker, just isn’t a label many of us will ever get the typically costly pleasure of owning. But this deal (50% off, saving you literally $727!) is a rare opportunity to change that. Just look at that sophisticated blue, and the exquisite lettering on those in-house buttons.
Sid Mashburn Kincaid No. 2 Suit
Sid, as we’ve long covered him, is simply the man. And much of his reputation and devoted following was built off the back of the Kincaid suit, which he’s been running since 2012. It’s navy, it’s wool, it’s slim, it’s precise, it’s affordable…it’s perfect.
Todd Snyder Italian Tropical Wool Wythe Suit
Todd Snyder has been spoiling us all Black Friday long. That continues with this discount on the Wythe suit, which blends the panache of a double-breasted with the three-season weight of tropical wool.
Issey Miyake Homme Plissé Tailored Pleats Suit
The Homme Plissé pleated suit has long been the go-to suit for in-the-know travelers desiring a formal option that will barely add a pound to their packing weight. But it’s also a legendary summer set, especially when you spring for it in a colorway like this Mole Gray. Pleats, pleats, please, go prove us right.
COS Double-Breasted Wool Suit
If you don’t yet own a double-breasted suit jacket, they function basically like a zip-up hoodie, in the sense you can throw them over anything and feel comfortable. Except with a DB, you also look the business. This COS double-breasted suit has a 100% wool outer, which makes it warm enough to forgo a coat in most conditions, and also comes with matching straight-leg black wool pants—a versatile essential your rotation may currently be lacking.
Caruso Double-Breasted Prince of Wales Checked Wool Suit
A Prince of Wales check suit is timeless, but hard to get right. Leave it to Caruso to get the color-matching just right, the details (horn buttons, reinforced collar) equally on point, but still leave room for a little fun. Case in point: The patch pockets, which take the formality down just the right amount.
