I had a few made tailored to fit me, but they were all a 'so so' fit at best. I went to a reputable online store and ordered a few suits 1. a Prada suit and 2. a less expensive Burberry Suit. Both just looked shitty. Then I went to Kohl's and tried their extra slim fit Apt. 9 suits which fit f-ing phenomenally to my new body. My questions is this.. would you wear a cheaper suit if it fit you like a glove or would you spend hours/days trying to find a designer suit to fit?

As a guy who wears a suit daily my advice is this: Find a good tailor. A good tailor can make a not so great fitting suit perfect. If you do not want to go the tailor route or cannot find a really good tailor (the good ones are the ones that make bespoke suits) then I suggest that you buy the suit that fits best regardless of price.
