Question about Jos A Banks
Posted on 1/18/14 at 7:47 pm

I know it's brought up here pretty often and the sales are often mentioned.
If you had a $400 Jos A Banks gift card, how would you spend it?
Wait for one of those sales where it's buy 1 suit, get 2 free? or do they just jack the first suits cost to the price of three suits and tell you it's a steal?
Anything else of theirs you'd be interested in?
Thanks in Advance

$400 @ JABank will get you about 3 nice ties.

They often have deals where they put shirts on sale....like buy one, get two free,etc....I find their shirts to be pretty high quality and would try to get some.

This.
If you need a good overcoat for dress occasions, I'd probably suggesting looking into getting that. I bought a suit there, its alright, but you may only get 1 for that price.

I'd skip the suits, wait for a ridiculous sale, and grab a couple blazers and some slacks.

it's all extremely cheaply made suits, they jack up the regular prices to absurd levels. On one of those buy one get 3 free they are still making plenty money off of you.
so if you do end up there make sure to buy at a sale, never regular priced

Put it toward one of their better end suits like platinum

The Mandeville store offers Cole Haan and Allen Edmund shoes if your not digging their suits .

I was pretty shocked the last time I went in there. Their pricing has gone insane. A few years ago I got 3 fairly nice suits for just over $200.
Decided to go check em out again b/c I'm pretty frugal and the bottom barrel suits were nearly $500 and looked like shite and were dated style wise.
I ended up buying off of overstock, bluefly, and amazon and taking them to a tailor for a perfect fit.

If my memory serves me well, they have epic sales in January and July.
I buy all my work clothes from here, but only buy when they have some shite on sale that makes sense for me to buy at that time.
ETA: You can be clever and sign up for a corporate discount @ 25%. My former company Reliant Energy has an account...go for it.

You can also cash the gift card I think.

The higher end suits and signature collection are pretty good in my opinion. You can definitely get better quality elsewhere , but for the money, JosABank is a great deal. You don't have to buy 3'to get the best deal. Each associate has the ability to give you 60-65% off without the deals. You just need to find the right person to help.

Just wait for a sale and get some shirts and ties. Maybe some dress socks?
Posted on 1/19/14 at 7:14 am to SuperSaint
I almost snagged a seersucker the other day from them, but I just can't justify it because of how often I'll wear it.
Posted on 1/19/14 at 7:46 am to SuperSaint
I get the 3 for the price of 1 at those sells when I need suits. The shirts are fine. I have to where suits very often though, so I need more than a regular guy might. I read on here all the time when clowns say how they are marked up, Yoda yada yada.
Who cares when I get 3 suits for $200-400?

Yeah, a true OT Baller won't stock his wardrobe with Jose Bank suits, but their stuff is reliable for the average guy for everyday wear. Their traveler dress shirts are sharp and wrinkle-free and go on ridiculous sales every now and then. I bought a couple last year for 40 bucks apiece and totally worth it. You might want to consider getting like 5 of those and adding some casual wear.

There whole pricing/marketing scheme is "Reg. price for this suit is $800. But get it today for $200"!" Read that as meaning that the "regular" for the suit is $200 since there is literally a "BIG" sale everyday.
Never, NEVER, pay full price for anything at Jos. A Bank. If I had a $400 gift card I wouldn't spend it all at one time. Check the website from time to time and see if there are things you like. If so, just wait for those items individually to go on their "BIG" sale. They probably won't do so all at the same time though.
For instance, today a dress shirt might be $90 (full price). Tomorrow that same shirt could be on sale for $40. Wait a little longer and at some point that shirt will be on sale for $19.99 (even if just for one day) if you're willing to be patient, you can get several items of clothing there for very cheap.
IMO, their dress shirts and pants are fine. They're not going to fall apart after 10-15 washes. Their suits certainly aren't luxurious, but they'll get the job done for day to day wear. If you want a really nice suit, go somewhere else.

Their suits and shirts are horribly tailored IMO. They actually deteriorate after a certain amount of time and just tear at the seems and threads just give its terrible. I think they have decent ties, however. Maybe get some Cole haan shoes there

Their shirts are nice. I bought a bunch of them when they had a good sale. They hold up well and they are good quality.
