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.

I bought suits here for a wedding so learned the best sales.
Suits - best possible deal is 75% off. Comes around once every 2-3 months. Buy 1 get 2 free is only 66% off and your forced to buy 3. Wait for the 70 or 75% discount and suits are like $160. Then you can buy as many as you want.
Ties - best deal is buy one get 2 free. Works out to about $27 per tie. They do this often.
Button Downs - I like there traveler button downs $99 regular but these don't go on sale very often. They do buy 1 get 2 free every once In a while. At $33 a piece these are nice dress shirts
(These button downs are usually excluded from store wide sales)

I went in there to buy some khaki pants recently.
Sticker price was $115 and there was no indication that a sale was going on. No way I was paying that much for khakis.
The sales girl grabbed the pair off the shelf and scanned it at the register, and told me the price is actually $60, and if I buy 2 pairs, the price comes down to $50 per pair.
I bought 2 pairs. They seem to be better quality than my old pair.
