However, having something made to order can sometimes be more of an inconvenience than a luxury with long wait times and big budget pricetags. In our Bonobos review, I examine how their Daily Grind Suit lets you have the best of both worlds and have since deemed them one of the best brands for comfortable men's work clothes.
Suits have long been a part of Bonobos' catalog, but the Daily Grind Suit is the brand's first ready-to-wear suit. The suit jacket comes in three different fits (tailored, slim, and standard), and the available pants come in an athletic fit featuring extra room in the seat. While making different fits isn't some monumental feat in menswear, it sure is a convenience — and, quite frankly, more people should know that the feature exists.
What it's like to wear
I went with the light grey suit in the tailored fit, the narrowest fit available. When ordering the suit, I was impressed that my size was actually available — I have a strict 29-inch waist, and lots of suits start out at 30 inches. Bonobos' pant sizes range from 28 to 40. I was also happy when they had my inseam length of 28 inches because while I usually go with a longer inseam in the best men's jeans (in order to cuff them), I like straight, uncuffed pant legs for slacks.
I put on the Daily Grind Suit, and it fit me absolutely perfectly. I've tried other ready-to-wear suits in the past but still had to make alterations because only one fit was available or because I had to settle for a larger waist or inseam.
Throughout the day, I got several compliments while wearing the Bonobos Daily Grind Suit, and everyone I told was surprised to learn that it hadn't been altered in any way.
Bottom line
The Daily Grind Suit is currently Bonobos' least expensive suit, especially while it's being phased out in favor of the Bonobos' newer Jetsetter Suit. The Daily Grind was originally about the same price as a custom suit you could get at Indochino, though the available fit options are likely to do away with the need for a comparable made-to-measure garment.
I'm confident other men will like the Daily Grind Suit as much as I did. Find exclusive deals on our Coupons site to potentially save even more on Bonobos suits.
