About $800 or $900 for a fairly good suit–on sale. Perhaps $600 or $700 if you really shop around.
It’s not difficult to find suits on sale for $350 to $450, but you should generally avoid them. You know the old sayings:
Buy cheap, buy twice; and
Buy quality–you’ll only cry once.
(I wish I could remember where I first read those aphorisms, as I’d like to give credit where credit is due.)
Brooks Brothers or J. Press during sale periods.
BB frequently discounts their suits by 25%, and much more during their winter and summer clearance sales. Now and then they have a “buy two suits for $1500 [or thereabouts]” deal.
SG 67: Unfortunately, Loehman’s went out of business a couple of years ago. Too bad, as it was often a fine source of heavily discounted, but pretty good, neckties.
