In reply to FrankBooth:
I have a different suit for every day of the week and a few more (in fact I have acquired 2 new suits in the last week).
For your budget yes you could get a tailor made suit but I personally wouldn't as the type of cloth you could have will limit the life of the suit etc. For your budget you could get a high quality off the peg unfinished suit and have it fitted.
I normally buy unfinished suits and take them to a tailor to be fitted. My advice would be buy a quality off the peg unfinished suit, size the jacket for the shoulders with arms slightly long etc and then get it adjusted. The suit I bought last Saturday the alterations I had done included
Reduce the trouser waist
Shorten the trouser legs
Reduce the seat of the trousers
Reduce the upper-thigh and make the whole trouser leg slightly slimmer
Reduce the length of the jacket arms
Re-instate the button holes and detailing
Reduce the body of the jacket from tailored fit to slim etc etc. The suit fits me as comfortably as it could without being purpose made for my body.
Make sure the jacket is pretty close to your final fit as it can be and in the style you like i.e Traditional, Tailored, Slim, Skinnt etc and don't buy anything too large as some jackets depending on the number of vents and original stitching configuration can only be adjusted by 1.5-2.5 inches max in the body etc.
