I had been looking for a decent suit since I will be best man for my cousins Wedding. Figured if I bought a suit, it would work for many occasions over a tuxedo or tux rental and my cousin wasn't doing the traditional matching groomsmen/best man.
I've never owned a suit that was mine, the only suit I had was a hand me down that was a very very sad sight.

I had seen a Hickey Freeman, and a Joseph Abboud (both made in USA, 100% wool). One at Niemans the other at Mens Warehouse. Both seemed to be half canvassed and both were fantastic quality and could tell they were far above the designer brand crap that usually is peddled at big box stores.

The Hickey Freeman was about $500 after sale, and the Joseph Abboud was $695. I liked both but decided to wait simply because dropping $500-$700 on a suit wasn't something I'd ever done.

Yesterday Google alerted me that it noticed I had researched the Joseph Abboud at Mens Warehouse and they're Chinese made suits went from $230 to $179 for their foreign made suits.
I decided to check Mens warehouse online and noticed they had several USA Made 100% wool Joseph Abboud suits on sale. I ordered a 46R, and later reordered a 44S (went to Mens warehouse, they found I ordered the wrongsize).
The suits were $139 each, includes Seperate and pants.

One has shipped the other is still processing. I will post pictures here and comment on the quality when they arrive.
I felt for $150, I doubt I could of found better.
