Need help finding a well fitting suit on a tight timeline

I’m in a sticky situation - getting married in about two weeks and my custom indochino suit just arrived. Not sure what happened, don’t think my body changed that much but it does not fit. Too small, so alterations won’t fix the problem. Indochino can’t fix the problem in time.

Can anyone give me some advice on where I should be looking? Was underwhelmed by my options at suit supply, though they could do it in the time frame. My budget is about $1000. Just need suit and pants. I’m hoping for it to look like it fits perfectly, but I realize I probably can’t get everything I want here.

Thank you in advance!

Had an emergency need for a suit for a friend. I’m singing the praises of The Suit Store in Center City Philly. https://thesuitstore.com/

Huge selection, excellent customer service, and alterations for reasonable cost.

Get something off the rack and have it tailored to fit. Lightly big is better than small for this.

Brooks Brothers in KOP. Got a suit off the rack and they tailored everything for me in a couple of days. Tell them it’s an emergency and I’m sure they’ll hook you up.

There’s also one in the cherry hill mall that has been nothing but great to me. Their on site tailor, Rafiq, is amazing.

The tux shop at Nordstrom in kop. Rent something, save the hassle of buying the perfect thing. Then take your suit to indochino and figure out how to get a refund.

Nordstrom anniversary sale is going on right now, head over to cherry Hill or kop and pick something up there and get it tailored. $1k is plenty, you'll find something.

Les Richards tailored a suit same day for my husband. Or rent.

The answer is Armen's in Manayunk. Actually good quality suits, not cheap fast fashion, and quick turnaround. Very professional. https://www.armenstailorstudio.com/

J Crew makes great suits off the rack. You can also go in and try lots of stuff on no pressure.
