When is the best time to shop at NM Last Call? I am traveling to family for Christmas where there is one fairly close. Is it better to wait until after Christmas? Do they usually have a good sale/good merchandise? Or is it better to go before Christmas?

I should add that I am looking primarily for suits and sportcoats.

What type of suit or sport coat are you looking for?
If you are looking for a staple item, now might be the best time to go. However, after Christmas sales are always the best place to find amazing bargains.

Just like all the other discount stores (The Rack, Off 5th, etc) the selection and pricing can be hit or miss. However, NMLC lends the best chance of finding nice stuff IME. I went to their after Christmas sale last year and there were some tremendous bargains to be had. I think it was 60% off select stuff and I ended walking away with a BC button down, a BC sweater and a BC sport coat for around 85% off MSRP.

I plan on going again this year and I'd suggest hitting it up after Christmas.

I'm looking for a good mix. Probably 2-3 suits and 2-3 sport coats. I just got a new job that I'll get to start wearing jackets and ties again - it has been a couple years now. So I'm looking to get rid of the suits my former tailor butchered and replace them.

I just got a mailer from them today. Sale runs 15th - 24th and is 30% off of everything. They're also running "daily deals" through that period: 15th & 16th is 40% off one reg price item, 18th is 40% off all men's apparel & shoes, 22nd is 40% off coats/cold weather accessories - the other days are not as interesting.

If you need suits and you're not a 38L like me, there are TONS of very nice Hickey Freeman suits in all sizes at a very good price.

Thanks guys. I'll probably hit up Last Call on the 26th. I was at Off Fifth here in Minneapolis a week or two ago and was disappointed, but I was able to get my size in some brands in case something pops on here at least.
