Labels: Sue Brett
From a 1971 digitized New York Times article:
"In 1946, [company owner Jack Baker] went into business for himself under his own name but found that he was being confused with another Jack Baker in the dress trade. He chose the name Sue Brett, which is derived from the French 'sou brette,' a theatrical term for a lady's maid and which brought to Mr. Baker's mind the figure of a dancing doll. The doll is the company's trademark."

Fantastic suit, especially for the $$$!
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
Bought this for my husband and my son to attend our daughter’s wedding as they had nothing to wear at all. I was kind of scared when I ordered 2 sets of these suits, I had read so many reviews that I was totally overwhelmed and didn’t know if I should get it or not, my head was literally spinning as the reviews were all over the place. So, we had went to Men’s Warehouse earlier in the day, so I had their suit jacket measurements, so I used those numbers, but tbh, I just went with the size that they usually get when getting clothes in general and their suits fit great! I was so relieved!! They looked so handsome oh my goodness! These suits fit the way that they are advertised to fit, which is “slim fit” which means they fit like a glove! Slim fit does not mean “too small” it means that these suits are not baggy or oversized, they fit the body just right! They were not wrinkly when taken out of the package, they were very nice quality, the pants were made with a nice material, they did not feel cheap at all. Everything was great!! I was so impressed with everything! I could not believe that I got both my husband and my son a 3 piece suit for less than $100 each! Both of them said that their suits were extremely comfortable and they had no problem wearing them all night. You could tell by their faces that they felt confident in them, and they knew they looked good. Very happy customer!!

Better than expected
Color: Black, Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Size: X-Large
I took a chance hoping for the best and the three piece set was better than expected and WAY more affordable than renting one. Fit my son well, who is about 215lb 6ft tall. A little snug at the belly, but great fit, zipper up fine, came with extra buttons. The material felt of decent quality and looked like a rental. My son got to fit in for his prom at a reasonable cost and good appearance without breaking the bank

GREAT suit for the price.
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Amazing suit. Ordered an XL for my husband when we got it. Pants were very long and a little big on the waist, so we took them to get tailored for a more fitted look. I don’t like that the “pocket square” is sewn in but, it can be tucked down, so we did that and added our own that matched the tie we ordered separately. Overall, good quality for the price. We have not washed but we do take it to the dry cleaners.

Quality vs Representation
Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium
Please check clothing due to finding the blazer a bit dirty as if someone wore it with Cat hair and dust along with a dead bug and smelling a fishy smell. We ordered in advance to take it to the dry cleaners for additional wash before using. Quality is great material; tie not included be sure to measure before purchasing to avoid any tailoring.
