Where to buy men's suits in Baltimore

mellimelo

I was on the board a long wile ago asking for venue suggestions and you ladies were so helpful (ended up going with our living room for the ceremony and the black olive for the dinner/reception).  I'm not on here that much because I've been tied up in work, travel and school stuff, but I'm hoping that someone can help with this:

We need to buy FI a suit for the wedding. Looking for something nice that he can also use for job interviews and such afterwards, but we ideally do not want to spend more than $200 (I don't even know if that's a realistic budget here?).  He is just moving to the area and I have no idea what is a good place here to buy men's suits. The only thing I've heard is that Jos A Bank sometimes has good sales.  help!?  

thanks so much

When my FI's grandfather died 3 days before christmas (unexpectedly, meningitis), we needed to find him a suit, after we blew money on xmas, o and go shopping on the 24th, the worst shopping day of the year to try to find him one that fit his broad shoulders but thin waist (places like Penneys and Macy's had size 46 to fit his shoulders but his belly was definitely not that big!  If you're man is shaped this way, look for athletic fit/cut).  We managed to find a nice suit for $100 at K&G (the one we went to was on Pulaski Highway, right behind Longhorn Steakhouse in what might be Golden Ring or Rosedale area), and it is now his go-to suit for most events.  They had many to choose from there from what I remember too.

For our wedding however, we will be renting from likely Mens Wearhouse or Jos. A Bank.  I am hoping this will not be too expensive, and I know Mens Wearhouse gives you a deal since I bought my dress at David's.

My FI would know more.......Mens Wearhouse or Jos. A Bank. are usually the best places to go and most times Jos A Bank has specials, buy one get one at 50% off??  K&G is cheap, suits usually do not last long in his opinion.

Good Luck

If you feel like waiting for Black Friday and all the craziness that goes on with that, Jos A. Bank usually has some great deals that day...they constantly have sales going on throughout the year like buy one get two free, etc...i think on friday the 11th they had a suit sale for $197 (usually $595) and then the second suit was only $47...they do stuff like this all the time so if you're not in a rush I would go to their website, join their email list and stay updated on their upcoming sales.

There are probably a lot of discounted clothing places that you could get a suit for cheap but if you're looking for a nice suit that he can wear continually you should get something of quality and imo Jos A Bank is very good when it comes to quality. I've been taking advantage of their buy one get two free sales for about a year now so the majority of my dress shirts and ties are from Jos A Bank and the quality is great...

**One of the best parts - if you go to a store rather than order online you can choose any shirt/any suit and they will custom fit free of charge, which should be a nice feature for your broad shouldered skinny waisted fiance.**

I just heard a commercial on WBAL that Jos A Bank will be having a 65% off sale on some of their suits (wool suits I think, or something like that), Thursday - Sunday (17th - 20th) and on Thursday & Friday only if you buy one suit at 65% off you can get another suit (of equal or lesser value) that also falls into the 65% off category (as not every single suit they have will be discounted by 65%) for an additional 20% off.
