Re: Suits (Clothing, not law)
A while back people were saying that Brooks Bros. did two-for-one suits semi-annually, or something to that effect. Is this actually true? And by true, I mean will there be a time this year where I could get two Fitzgerald 1818s in my size, one in navy and one in charcoal, for $900? Right now they have two for $1500. Will it get any better than this?

See if there's a BB outlet near you.

Re: Suits (Clothing, not law)
Thanks, but in my experience, BB outlets do not sell the 1818 line or any of their signature labels. They sell an inferior label called "346." My question is whether or not their regular stores have annual sales.zettsscores40 wrote:See if there's a BB outlet near you.

Re: Suits (Clothing, not law)
the two for one sales I think were in regards to Saks 5th Ave stores. (i.e. two Zegnas for price of one)
Not sure if BB retail stores would do crazy annual sales like two for one. Especially if you are looking for signature items like 1818 or black fleece

got this http://www.macys.com/catalog/product/in ... 63-_-MP563
in 42 reg, but had to get the pants hemmed and sleeves shortened. Wasn't planning on getting anything with stripes, but it looked cool. Think I'll buy my next suits online and then just have them altered afterwards.

Re: Suits (Clothing, not law)
I like those stripes. They seem fairly subtle. I don't like the big, thick stripes. Or the colored stripes. Saw a classmate come to school with a black suit with heavy blue striping the other day... not my favorite.Borhas wrote:got this http://www.macys.com/catalog/product/in ... 63-_-MP563

Way to plug yourself for having big muscles though. I'm sure all the ladies that read the mens suit thread are really turned on right now.

Christ I must be the most disproportionate person ever. Pant are always just right in length and completely off in waist or vice versa.

Re: Suits (Clothing, not law)
The semi-annual sale is generally in late June and late December. That's really the only time to buy suits from the 1818 line; I've purchased 5 or 6 suits over the past few years at these sales, and have never spent more that $450 on an individual suit.Bronte wrote:A while back people were saying that Brooks Bros. did two-for-one suits semi-annually, or something to that effect.

Re: Suits (Clothing, not law)
Would lace-less shoes like these Hugo Bosses be appropriate for business-casual firms, and the occasional black/charcoal suit:
I just don't like dress shoes with laces personally.

Agreed, but loafers are fine in business casual firms. Just make sure you wear laced up dress shoes to an interview.texaslawyer wrote:Laces IMHO make one look more put together.dougroberts wrote:Would lace-less shoes like these Hugo Bosses be appropriate for business-casual firms, and the occasional black/charcoal suit:

Re: Suits (Clothing, not law)
I certainly think so (and I believe that was the consensus ITT). I have heard some interviewers and our CSO harp about being immaculately dressed for legal interviews. We had a seminar on interviews a few weeks ago and a biglaw partner had a guy in the front row stand up, and he critiqued what he was wearing. Said he needed a collar that fit him and a better tie or something. It was lulzy.bk187 wrote:Is this true?romothesavior wrote:Just make sure you wear laced up dress shoes to an interview.

I guess the moral of the story (and my post) is that you should just be conservative and by the book.

Re: Suits (Clothing, not law)
Well, damn. I was hoping to finally get a couple BB suits when the summer started, but I guess I'll have to wait. That's a shame, since it means I won't have them to wear when I start my job.Anonymous Loser wrote:The semi-annual sale is generally in late June and late December.
I guess that's probably why they wait until late June. It's after the get-ready-for-summer rush is over.

Re: Suits (Clothing, not law)
so...I've got $200 at JC Penney that can be used on "any Joseph Abboud apparel, accessories, or shoe purchase" (I assume that means any accessories/shoes, not some weird Joseph Abboud shoe line )
is Joseph Abboud a good brand? my suit collection is sorely lacking a nice solid grey, but I want something quality. should I use the money toward a suit or just spend it on shoes/accessories and buy a suit elsewhere?
