So where do you go for a suit when you don't really have a lot of money to go with?

I guess the title says it all. Where do you go for a not too pricey, but still decent looking suit?

I've been thinking about doing that. I have plenty of dress pants, so a blazer or two would probably suffice for a while.

A friend who buys more suits than I do says great deals pop up on Amazon.com and at Macy's from time to time.

sometimes ebay is your friend. just do a little research, try to get a suit from a reputible manufactuer.

When suit arrives (usually very cheap), spend $20-$50 and get that thing taylored! (Or bust out a needle and thread!)

Rather than going to TAYLOR:disgust: , go to aTAILOR and let them make the modifications.
