YES! Do not be in a hurry to get a suit. Read, read, read and ask questions. Join your local garrison. Attend an event as a squire so you can see suits up close and personal. Then make an informed decision about what you want. Don't get suckered into paying $1,000 on ebay for something that is of poor quality.
I lurked here and Garison Carida's website for months before I became a member. Now I've been a member for a few months, I have just finally placed an order for my suit. Anxiously awaiting delivery!
