I haven't worn a suit more than a couple of times since moving to Kansas, but I bought Gieves and Hawkes tailormades for years and still have two. They used to cost about $3,500 each (in the UK), although that was with 3 pairs of trousers (I hate throwing out a perfectly good jacket because the trousers are worn). I also have a half-dozen Marks & Spencer off-the-shelf suits which run about $650 with 3 pairs of trousers. And I have one Canali suit I got talked into at a Harrods invite evening. I'm not sure how much that cost, but I think it was around $800.

It struck me when I "dressed up" for my wife's graduation last week, that I was wearing a tie which cost more than my whole outfit generally does these days. I actually didn't own a pair of jeans until I came here
