The price of decent suits
#1
In general I do not spend a lot of money on clothes.  I think it is insane to pay hundreds of dollars for basketball shoes or designer prices for shorts or other casual wear.  But I do have to dress well for my job, and I can tell the difference between a cheap suit and a good one.

I buy all my work suites through Jos. A Banks.  It is amazing how much they reduce their prices.  I just bought two suites that were listed for $1325 for $150.  You can barely get one cheap suit from Penny's for $150.  And they have a large selstion.  Just look.

http://www.josbank.com/clearance-suits#facet::ads_f2_ntk_cs%3A%2250+Regular%22&productBeginIndex::0&orderBy::&pageView::grid&minPrice::&maxPrice::&pageSize::&

And the best thing is that they are shipped to the dstore where they can be adjusted to fit properly.  Even a nice suit looks like crap if it does not fit properly.  But 90% of the time the jackets I order fit fine, and my mother can hem the pants to the proper length and add buttons for braces.  If you had every suit tailored to fit then you would pay a good bit more, but I know my size and what cuts fit me properly.

I do get the permanent crease added to the pants, but that only cost an extra $10.  So I actually paid $170 for those two suites.  Shipping to the store is free.

I can't imagin anyone pays full price for these suites off the rack.  That would be insane.

I just don't know how they can sell these good suites this cheap.
