I've had a great few days

Better job is nearly guaranteed. Made extra money helping a friend drop his old house. Saved money on a flight (about 50% of the cost) to a friend's wedding. I've kept weight down (about 20 lbs now).

 

Gift to self? New suit. That said, I basically have the option of Joseph Bank, MensWearHouse, or online and having it altered in town. Thoughts?

The interwebz are a much better bet than JAB or MW. Hickey Freeman's semi-annual sale is going on right now. http://www.hickeyfreeman.com/sale-mens-tailored-clothing/_/showAll/1/
You can also get HF pretty cheap on Sierra Trading Post with one of the many 35-45% off codes they float around on a daily basis. Yoox is good for Italian brands. Also try SF's buying and selling forum. Whatever you do, don't buy anything from JAB or MW.

So maybe something a little nicer?

/i just worry, considering my weight loss is still recent, and I fear regaining the pounds

 

I do really like this, though. Functional cuff buttons. Navy + stripes. Tapered leg. 3rd pocket. Iffy on the peaks, but unusual, so nifty.

Its not a Zegna suit, just a random suit with Zenga cloth. You would be overpaying at $200.
