Brooks Brothers 1818. Be there when they open, the morning of the 26th.
I'd recommend a Regent (if you are thin/athletic) or a Madison over a Fitz. I'd bet the house that the skinny lapels date soon.

This classic Will blog entry.
I couldn't turn up the link on short notice, but if I remember correctly Will also wrote about sticking to a variety grey suits at first, and excluding blue. Thus, the money spent on an entire second set of shirts and accessories could be spent on an extra suit instead.
I know this thread is relatively common. But would appreciate your assistance. If you were starting out building a professional wardrobe, how many suits would you consider a good lot? I was thinking 5-7...at least one different for each day of the week. The questions I pose to you: 1) How many suits would be the target/baseline number? 2) With that number...what would they be? (color/pattern/stripes/style...very macro description) Thanks a bunch!

I really don't want to hijack this thread but I wanted to ask a similar question about beginning to build a wardrobe. Specifically, when you guys first found yourselves entering careers in which professional dress was mandatory, how prepared were you? Did you land that first job with a closet full of suits or did you have to spend time getting by with any old pair of trousers and poorly disguised casual button downs while you saved for your suiting? Even then, when you had the money, did you know what to get or were you buying things you would never admit to these days?
