how many of them are good for holiday party?

Depends on the holiday and depends on the party, but I can safely say I've got 'em all covered.

I think I've mentioned this before but I have (I think) 15 suits and only two are interview appropriate, although that 15 number depends on how flexible your definition of a suit is.

Any from the Harold Pener Man of Fashion Steve Harvey 15 button jacket collection?

i started to donate mine... less hustle and i feel that i help people to get their first suit at a bargain to go to that first interview.

I donated some of my pre-SF suits as well as my first MTM failure suit to a charity that specializes in providing interview clothing and even training for less fortunate folks re-entering the workplace. I felt it would do better there than possibly sitting on a Goodwill sales rack gathering dust.

Is this a DC-area charity?

The organization was MenzFit, which appears to currently be based in Philadelphia but I dropped off my suits, shirts, shoes, and ties at a location in the District in 2006 & 2009.

Made for their outlet?

Are there any Neiman Marcus Last Call stores left in the DC area or anywhere for that matter?

After the ones in Potomac Mills and Arundel Mills closed, even the local Last Call Studio stores (which never had anything good) appear to be closed as well. I had many excellent deals at NMLC over the years. While buying online is convenient, I find trying on things in person is important especially for a brand or a last you've never tried before.

There is a NMLC in downtown DC near the Metro Center station. It's full of junk. Much better is the Saks Off Fifth next door. I've spotted Corneliani, Canali, and Isaia suits there.

I have always been upscale. My cheesy suits came from K&G and Syms
