Just a heads up, there's a pretty good sale going on at Jos A Bank. Buy one, get 2nd 75% off, third for free. Apparently this applies to all suits, shirts, and ties. I'm thinking about taking advantage of this. I need a suit for a presentation I have to give at work, I may as well go ahead and stock up. http://www.josbank.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Home_11001_10050

75% off their suits is still a rip off

There is something fucked about a business that gives me a "corporate card" because of a large purchase I made (I bought seersuckers for my groomsmen there) and then when I go to use it on something that wasn't specifically on sale, they tell me the "standard discount" is better than the corporate card.Shits always on sale there. The Jos A Bank business model pisses me off.

yeah, they have these pretty nice deals every once in a while. this seems like one of them...none of their business casual wear ever seems to appeal to me though. suits might be a different story. I just have to ask myself, do I really need another suit right now?

^^^what do you suggest, men's warehouse or something?^^i only have one suit, i bought it 4 or 5 years ago, but never really liked the way it fit. i rarely have occasion to wear a suit, so buying three may be overkill.[Edited on February 1, 2010 at 10:43 PM. Reason : .]

nah, after hearing that, you would be in good shape.I'm not sure what your line of business is... but I think it's pretty good form to have at least 1 different suit for every day of the week. You never know when something might come up you'll probably catch some good deals closer to the end of winter as well[Edited on February 1, 2010 at 10:47 PM. Reason : MOAR]

My roommate and I took advantage of the buy 1, get 2 free deal last year. He had a gift certificate for graduation and took 2 of the suits and I paid the half of the difference. I think I ended us getting a suit with 2 pants for about $100, which is a great deal. So, yes, 3 suits may be overkill, but just go in with a friend or 2 and split the cost of the first suit.

This is an appropriate thread to ask this question. I got suits there recently. I know how much i paid per suit... It was during a sale. I'm curious as to what a suit should cost... not a crazy good sale... just a standard JABanks quality suit at a reasonable price.
