Flex Suits Review: Can A $99 Suit / Tuxedo Offer Value? We Think It Can…

Editor’s Note: We recently revised this review to update the brand’s name to “Flex Suits” from “Apparel99”

Flex Suits may not be one of the most well-known online stores for suits and tuxedos, but it’s certainly one of the few menswear suppliers that sells quality suits and tuxedos at incredibly low prices.

And this is precisely how it manages to stand out. In a market where even a half-decent men’s suit can cost hundreds of dollars, being able to buy one for as little as about $99 is surprising to say the least. [Be sure to read our guide on how to buy an off the rack suit]

I personally reviewed two $99 numbers for this review.

Taking A Closer Look At Flex Suits

Pricing

As pricing is one of the biggest highlighting features of Flex Suits’ products, let’s get to it first. For the suits that you can find here, the prices can range from as low as just $89 to $200 or more. The tuxedos are priced a little higher, with the cheapest ones being about $100, and the more premium ones being $200 or more.

It’s also fair to mention that Flex Suits also sells other men’s clothing products like t-shirts, joggers and sweatpants, hoodies and sweatshirts and more. It also has a fairly large collection of dress shirts, and a range of specific tuxedo shirts too.

The prices for the shirts, start from as low as about $40.

All of Flex Suits’ products, especially including suits, tuxedos and shirts, come in a variety of colors so you’re sure to find exactly what you need there, at prices that would make your jaw drop.

Getting the Right Fit

When it comes to buying a suit or a tuxedo, there are not many things more important than the fit. This is especially true when buying slim fit suits or tuxedos.

Flex Suits, offer as many as 23 different sizes for their suits and tuxedos with many coming in “Short”, “Regular” and “Long” length jackets.

The customer service of Flex Suits is also pretty responsive, so if you have any questions about the fit or which size you should choose, you can simply get in touch with them.

That said, if you have an athletic body, one of Flex Suits’ slim fit vested suits would be right up your alley. My personal favorites are the classic dark grey suit as well as this versatile blue slim fit suit.

What I love about the blue slim fit suit is that it can be taken everywhere ranging from a wedding to an important business conference.

The Fabric

Flex Suits state their suits are made using polyester, rayon and spandex, with a unique touch of wool. While the fabric itself is good, what I really liked about it is that it’s wrinkle resistant.

It is what one would expect in this low price range. The one thing that can be said for it, is that is did not look cheap or “shiny”.

Note: I have not had these dry cleaned yet, which is always a killer blow for these lower-end fused jacket options.

Shipping and Turnaround Times

Shipping costs are easy and simple with a flat $8 shipping fee. As far as the turnaround time is concerned, it would be just 2 to 5 business days for buyers based in the US.

For international buyers, they will have to contact Flex Suits for more information about the shipping time and the extra costs, as they will also need to pay for the import duties and other taxes.

Final Thoughts

Overall I was happy with the Flex Suits suits. But I am more of an off the rack size and shape, which is a big advantage for me when shopping non-custom.

Flex Suits makes sense if:

1. You’re on a budget
2. Looking for contemporary styles
3. Looking for lots of size and length options
4. In a tight squeeze for time
