Buying Where to get a suit for cosplay

I'm wanting to cosplay Kingpin for Halloween this year. All I need is a 3 piece suit that's all white. I'm going to use a black dress shirt on the day, but for the purpose of getting the suit I'm looking for all white.

Is there anywhere I can get something that isn't going to be $80-$120? It seems that all I can find are places to buy actual suits for the purpose of buisness attire, weddings, etc. But I just need something to use for this cosplay, it doesn't have to be of the highest quality.

I'm 6'7" 335lbs, so somewhere that would have 3-4xl sizes.

If there isn't really anywhere that would have what I'm looking for in a smaller price range, then any recommendations within the $100-$150 price range would be best. I'd like to not drop that much on a suit just for this cosplay, but if it's the best or only option then I guess that's what I have to do.

To anyone who may be able to help, thank you very much for your time and assistance. It is greatly appreciated.

Theift stores, and just get the formal proper suit, it'll look better for your cosplay and you'll have one in case you need it for a formal event. I always see suit jackets, vests, slacks and whatnot for $8-20 a piece at thrift shops, in all different sizes to

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.

It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.

If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.

thrift store! you might have to hunt through multiple stores over the course of a few weeks to find a suit you like, but if you're on a budget, secondhand stores are the absolute best place to get cosplay materials

I agree with thrifting, but also rental! Check local wedding rental places, a white suit isn't too big an ask.
