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

Right now you can get the signature suits for $89 in the clearance. Nice suits for extremely cheap. Check the clearance section.

Big difference in their lines? not like BB where it's mainly the cuts that are different not the quality?

I've been looking at the Edmunds, but if I were to pull the trigger on some, i'd just go to the Allen Edmund store in Canal Place. Also I found some nice wing tips yesterday @ the Steve Madden store in Lakeside for $139. That saves me a good two bills at least on kicks lol

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.

From a guy who has to wear suits everyday, don't get their suits. I'd wait for a great outerwear sale and dress shirt sale

I'd sell it for $300 but I'm a suit snob.

I don't pay for fancy cars, I don't have overly nice watches or a huge hours, but I wear extremely nice, expensive suits.
