    Jos. A. Bank Signature Gold Superfine Wool Suit for $197 Shipped - Good deal or not?

    I just pulled the trigger. I'll post an update when it arrives. I'll do the tailoring at local, inexpensive shops. JAB offers a traveler's crease for $8. Seems like a good thing to have. Any opinions?

    My.Suit - any opinions? (MTM suits for $495 and up)

    not a great garment, but if you are a tough fit, then a good, but inexpensive starting point. your experience will depend on the salesmen. I was in the store once, listening to a salesman give all sorts of confusing information I suppose I am a pretty tough fit. I lost weight recently (not too...

    My.Suit - any opinions? (MTM suits for $495 and up)

    They had some jackets on the racks that were somewhat "noticeable" to say the least, I wouldn't do anything that makes you look like you are on your way to a Vegas stage, but something in a bolder check or plaid would be a nice option, but only if you have the basic suits nailed already. Don't...

    My.Suit - any opinions? (MTM suits for $495 and up)

    This site is awesome! Though probably not the most trusted, I suggest just buying each garment individually. Yes, the site is cool. It lets you choose all the features online and save it for when you come in for measurements. I plan to buy only 1 suit at first (although I'm still thinking...

    My.Suit - any opinions? (MTM suits for $495 and up)

    sorry partialy fused (1/2 canvassed) is what i meant. it refers to the construction of the jacket, a better jacket will be fully canvassed, that is to say it has an inner canvass that holds the shape of the jacket which is sewn in, a fused jacket is glued on the inside, which can over time show...

    My.Suit - any opinions? (MTM suits for $495 and up)

    I went into the White Plains store. All the fabrics were Super 150s and up, so I didn't see the point in looking into them further. Why is that? Is 150s considered poor quality? I should mention that I've never spent much more than $200 on a suit - usually from dep't stores such as Macy's and...

    My.Suit - any opinions? (MTM suits for $495 and up)

    I walked around their shop near Union Square (I think), and I was not overly impressed with the suits and jackets they had on display, the tailoring was off but a lot. When I say that I mean the flap pockets on the jackets were not even close to even on the sides of the jacket. If someone had a...

    My.Suit - any opinions? (MTM suits for $495 and up)

    http://www.mysuitny.com/website/index.html Hi, I'm new here and have never bought a custom-made suit. $495 seems like a good deal to me. What do you all think? Too good to be true?
