The jacket won't button on my current suit anymore (
 ), combined with new responsibilities at work, I need two suits tailored and ready to wear by 1 March.
Are there any decent deals for fatties (I'm probably a 56R, 48" waist) this weekend? I'd like to keep it below $750 for two suits with extra matching pants for each. Kharn |

There's a HUGE thread on Somethingawful.com about suits. You might want to check it out before you drop any money. Though I noticed he's not going to recommend much in that price range.

Last suit I had, my sister bought for me as a wedding gift.
For $99. At Sears. In the '80s.

Start there, go to Jos A Bank afterward (unless you know you like their stuff). You might even follow the old Ma Bell advice and "phone first" to find out about their sales. |

IIRC some AG did an investigation and found that only 5% of people paid the "regular" prices at Jos A Bank and thus the "sale" prices were the regular prices for purposes of some law.

If you are anywhere close to rack size, a good tailor can make all the difference in the world for not much cash.

I have a tailor/seamstress that I found when my wife went for her wedding dress alterations, a little polish lady. That woman could take someone's old ripped curtains and turn them into a suit to make me look like a million bucks, and she'll do it in three days.
I got a deal at JOOOOOOOseph A. Bank, (check 'em for sales, eff their MSRP), and their in-house tailor did a *fair* job. Wife made me take it up to Olga, and the difference is incredible. I'm no expert in fine business attire, not even close, but I would suggest you try to find an Olga. |
