Everbodies advice is real good, I'd stay away from a top name suit and spend the money somewhere else, like alterations. A "cheap" $500 suit that has been truly custom tailored to you will look light years better than a $2k Armani off the rack with the standard alterations.
I'd also spend the money on the other parts of a suit, if you buy a fairly conservative suit you can dress it up quite well in other ways. For instance I bought a regular $500 suit, had a tailor go over it with a fine tooth comb, I have a mix of about 7 shirts, about double that in ties, a few pairs of shoes, etc.
I still follow the above today since I rarely need to wear a suit, but I need to have one for those occasions. And what I may wear to a funeral probably doesn't work for a wedding which neither work for a business function.
