Chef Jim Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Just went out to get a couple of suits and they had a sale on. They always have some sort of sale going on. Today it was buy one suit get the second, two shirts and two ties for free. So I got two $750 suits, two $80 shirts, three ties (two were $50 and the one he gave me free was $100) for $975 including tailoring. They have great suits with great prices but this just shows what a rip it is to pay full retail for a clothing.

Just Jack Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I go to the local Salvation Army or Rescue Mission stores for my suits. Here's my latest one.
Chef Jim Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 Even at the price you paid, I'd guess they still made $500. Then we are both happy.
EZC-Boston Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Then we are both happy. The essence of a free market, right?

When I wore suits everyday (now business casual) I only bought at Nordstrom. Now I just see them as being overpriced for what you get.
Jim in Anchorage Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I bought my Carhart coveralls for 50% off at GI Joe's vs the army and navy store. So there, bragger

For suits, I get them custom tailored now. Fits like a glove, wears very well (sewn right there) and free adjustments for life. Price is actually not too bad depending on the fabric you pick.
Chef Jim Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 You know it makes me smile when I piss you off.

Seeing I wear suits every day I have a lot of them. These suits work out best for me economically.
Chef Jim Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 Are you part of the Banks family? I think I kicked his dog somewhere down the road.

If my kid needed a First Communion suit, or if I was a tax accountant, I'd consider that Jos. A. Bank next to the Orange Julius at the mall. If I needed a suit to look like a well-dressed adult, I wouldn't go near there. $1000 should get you seven suits at that place. Maybe that will be their next sale..."A suit for every day of the week for $1000!"
Chef Jim Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 I'm a fan of Men's Wearhouse. I've only bought one suit there. Worst suit I ever had. Don't know if it was a fluke or what, but I've never been back.

bartshan-83 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 If you ever, ever, ever walk into a Jos. A. Bank store and there isn't some obscene sale going on, sprint out of the store! I agree with Jim...I like their stuff. I have several of their suits and I've had no complaints. I like how the shirts fit as well. Of course, I'm not in stratosphere of $1000 suits at the moment so maybe I'm not a good barometer...but I don't think they are poorly made by any stretch.
KD in CA Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Man, some of you guys are cold. Dissin' a man's new suit? Them's fightin' words!
