Hear us out: Cyber Monday might actually be the best time to buy a week’s worth of suits on sale. Yes, the very moment you’re weighing the merits of, like, a new vacuum is the objectively correct opportunity to also snag some real-deal tailoring. Exhibit A: Mr Porter just took an extra 15% off its entire sale section, which now includes some of the sharpest suits on the planet at a whopping 55% off.
And that’s hardly the extent of it. As of this morning, so many of our favorite suits have hit the bargain bin we’re starting to mistake Cyber Monday for a Savile Row fire sale. Think of it as a two-for-one deal with no downside: you’re not just getting a suit, you’re getting a jacket you can wear with jeans, and dress pants you can wear with tees.
To help you come correct, I gathered 17 (!) suits on sale this Cyber Monday that truly stand out. And remember—don’t worry too much about, say, the length of the sleeves or the hem of the pants. As long as the shoulders fit, you can put a fraction of your savings towards a trip to the tailor, and your suit will look (and feel) like it was made bespoke by the end of the week.

Umit Benan Double-Breasted Cotton-Blend Twill Suit
In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re huge fans of the double-breasted suit these days. Here’s a classic of the form from the man we called the “coolest guy at Milan Fashion Week” 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, all inspired by 1980s Italian and Japanese suiting. And that is unheard of at this price point.
J. Mueser Waverly Slim-Fit Linen Suit
When New York’s coolest custom tailor, Jake Mueser, permitted Mr Porter to sell his ready-to-wear creations this year, cheers rang out around GQ towers. The Waverly cut is the house speciality–svelte, but not severe.
J. Mueser Waverly Slim-Fit Double-Breasted Linen Suit
It also comes in this incredible double-breasted 6×2 with peak lapels, and matching high-rise trousers. Yes, it’s linen, but that just makes it a great suit year-round, because every holiday party and restaurant we’ve been to recently is simply cranking the heat up way too high.
Barena Wool-Blend Suit
It would be wrong to call Barena up-and-coming—its roots go back more than half a century, after all. But I can tell you that it’s growing in renown, and incredible pieces like this virgin wool suit offered at a surprisingly fair price even before the discount are exactly why.
The Row Ritchie Cotton Suit
This Cyber Week is so legit, even The Row—yes, the Olsen-helmed label that everybody loves but almost nobody can afford—is 40% off, and therefore 40% more possible. And this is no throwaway suit: Made it Italy from a breathable cotton in a beautiful, versatile brown, it would work just as well as two separates.
Studio Nicholson Linen-Blend Suit
If you can see yourself wearing your suits with T-shirts and sweaters as much as fine shirting, then cult-favorite British designer Studio Nicholson might be the name for you. Those pants are an especially great option for wearing as separates, too.
Mfpen Wool Suit
As we’ve said before, Mfpen produces Scandinavian minimalism that’s actually fun to wear. (Its most recent office-wear collection, for example, was inspired by “what would happen if mall goths were forced to get corporate jobs.”) That cool factor is great, but what really sets the brand apart is its use of quality deadstock materials, keeping prices down and the planet happy. Reward them with your dollar, and look five times more handsome for it.
Alex Mill Cooper Suit
Not all suits need to scream leading man. Some can—and should—communicate that you’re a wise, thoughtful, dependable fellow who has stories to tell and places to be. Alex Mill’s Cooper suit, in a neppy Italian wool, is exactly that number.
Todd Snyder Italian Cashmere Sutton Suit
Todd Snyder has been spoiling us all Cyber Week long. That continues with this discount on the Sutton suit, which takes a cut that would work in literally any setting, and improves it further with the panache of Italian cashmere.
Todd Snyder Italian Wool Tuxedo Suit
Even if your suit selection is stacked, chances are you don’t love your tuxedo. This is a bummer, because the tuxedo is the apex of men’s tailoring. But there’s a solution: This Italian wool tuxedo, generously cut and discounted enough to leave you with budget to truly perfect it with your local alterations guy.
J.Crew Crosby Classic-fit Suit
J.Crew’s Crosby suit is the brand’s take on a more generous-cut suit, in comparison with its slim-fit Ludlow suit. After a season of holiday gatherings, your frame will thank you. And worry not, it’s still fully lined, plenty tailored, and 1000% office-appropriate.
J.Crew Kenmare Relaxed-Fit Suit
Alternatively, the Kenmare suit, which we’ve tested extensively, is the even more relaxed option. It’s the right cut for right now, especially in this toasty Italian lambswool.
Sid Mashburn Kincaid No. 2 Linen Suit
Sid Mashburn’s best suits—including this one—are fully canvassed to mould more to your frame with every wear, creating a damn near bespoke fit over time. And today only, a stunner from the line is a whopping 55% off.
Banana Republic Italian Herringbone Suit
Banana Republic is taking as much as 40% off of its greatest hits this Cyber Week. We’ve got a full edit of the sale rack here, but when it comes to suiting, the first set that caught my eye was this textured, relaxed guy in ‘Vintage Taupe.’ The name makes sense, because it’s the kind of fabric you’d typically find at a vintage store and get mad they don’t make any more.
Banana Republic Relaxed Italian Tuxedo
This might be the most unexpected, handsome jacket on this list. Yes, it’s a tuxedo, but with that shade of brown and lapels that gentle, you could just as easily wear it to a nice dinner on a Thursday night.
Banana Republic Signature Italian Rustico Suit
When the suit has ‘Signature’ in the name, it’s kind of a tell that it sells like hot cakes and comes back every season. With a quality, exclusive fabric sourced from Italy’s famed Vitale Barberis Canonico mill—tropical wool, to be specific, making it great for summer—this is the slim gray suit you’ve known your closet needs for a while.
Banana Republic Signature Italian Hopsack Suit
Another suit, another signature. This Hopsack edition comes in the same flattering slim cut as the suit above, but swaps one legendary Italian mill for another—the Biella region’s Reda mill, which has been producing luxury fabrics since 1865. With a tighter weave that the tropical wool fabric above, it’s a better bet for the colder months.
