Stretch Suit Comparison: $100 vs. $1,000 vs. xSuit

The innovation and popularity of performance suits has been rising over the last 7 years.

More men than ever are waking up to the benefits of this new technology.

But not all suits are created equal…

From fabric composition, to cut and technology. There are a few important differences that separate regular suits from the elite.

Today we're going to be comparing the $98 stretch suit from Target…the $1,020 tech suit from Theory and our $595 xSuit.

To finally reveal what separates the men from the boys.

Let's dive in.

Target Stretch vs. Theory Tech vs. xSuit

OUR CRITERIA FOR COMPARING:

Performance suits can be judged by 3 main criteria:

Stretchiness, Fabric Origin, Fit & Style

$98 TARGET STRETCH SUIT

Target's stretch suit is made of 63% polyester, 35% rayon, and 2% spandex. This type of yarn technology uses a single polymer type of polyester.

Not to bore you with the chemistry of it all, the 'stretchiness' of this suit is quite similar to most peoples annual new year's resolution - It doesn't last long at all.

The stretch is gone in no time and you're left with a limp excuse of a suit.

$1,020 THEORY TECH SUIT

The $1,020 tech suit from Theory is 90% polyester and 10% spandex. This synthesized fabric provides true stretch that lasts

The con here is it's hideously overpriced. And offers no extra value for all the extra dollars spent as compared other high-end suits.

$595 XSUIT

The xSuit is made of 91% premium polyamide polyester and 9% spandex. This innovative polyester variant with high yarn dense polyamide fabric delivers unparalleled stretchiness and comfort.

This ensures the stretchiness, shape, and super soft feel of the xSuit is permanent.

Also we've got proprietory nano-tech infused with the stretch fabric.

Which means xSuit doesn't need ironing and our latest is even machine-washable

Where a suit's material comes from, makes a lot of difference on durability & comfort. This is the true value that you're paying for.

$98 TARGET STRETCH SUIT

Target's stretch suit uses cheaper fabric from China. It's made to fit a budget but you sacrifice a bit of comfort and quality

$1,020 THEORY TECH SUIT

While Theory's tech suit gets its material from Italy, the Italians are more adept at making fabric for traditional suits and are behind Japan on performance fabric tech.

$595 XSUIT

The xSuit's premium performance fabric tech is sourced from Japan, the global leader in fabric technology and innovation.

Due to its quality, it takes much longer to make than the average fabric. And it also lasts 3X longer than average.

$98 TARGET STRETCH SUIT

Target's stretch suit is - you guessed it - quite ordinary. It's a boxier and features a longer jacket which is easily noticed as being low quality. It really doesn't fit the bill if you're looking to style it up.

$1,020 THEORY TECH SUIT

Theory's tech suit is well cut and fits most men without any issues. But again, the value you're getting is questionable for the price. (Between the two of us I honestly think it's a racket).

$595 XSUIT

The xSuit is designed and cut with precision to fit and flatter your body without feeling constricted. Its diverse size range also means it will work for any body type.
