Where's a good place to get a business suit that's *CHEAP*?

[Phokus]

I live in Boston BTW. Anyone know of a cheapo place to buy a suit (poor college student here! )

Are they the cheapest of the cheap?

macy's! I think there was a thread for suits on the hot deals forum ... good luck!

I seem to remember they had good looking suits in the lower price ranges. I've also heard that they'll press it for free anytime you want. I think they do free alterations.

Ok, it says that once they've altered it, they will redo it anytime in the future for free. I don't know how much the first time is. They say they can hem pants while you wait and do basic alterations in 24 hrs, so if you get in there tomorrow, you should be good to go before friday.

it's not that cold yet. just a shirt with a decent tie would be fine.
