good price for brooks brothers 1818 line??

What's the standard price for this line, and how cheap have you seen it drop somewhat recently? I can get it for $640 pre-tax and pre-alterations.

Leaning towards the Fitzgerald line, is this still pretty conservative in a solid navy or charcoal? Haven't been in an environment wear people wear suits everyday for a few years so don't want to show up with a slim fit suit if that will turn heads

 

new yorker - 25% off of what? what's the standard baseline price that you are referring to? Right now online the price is $1000 for one or $1500 for two.

bossman - not saying anything is wrong with them, just wanted confirmation that they were fine before I start my new job (want to buy before I start)

monty - not doing outlets for this purchase

monty - not doing outlets for this purchase

Really wanna reconsider this if you are close to some decent outlets. I know in my area there are a couple and I got like 3 or 4 of the casual non iron shirts for like 120 bucks or something ridiculous like that.

I got the 1818 Fitgerald from one of the malls in my client city for 50% off. Email came out that day saying they have 50% off. Showed up in the store after lunch. They only had few, but found one of my size with decent color, etc. Got it fitted, so it was $550 + $60~ + Tax. So basically you can get it down to 50% off, but just need to be in right place in right time. Back in July they had extra slim fit shirts for 50% off as well in regular store. If anything just look at the clearance section online. If you are oddly shaped, might find something.

 

I always check bluefly.com before I buy a suit. Though they don't usually have Brooks Brothers, you can usually ferret out some good deals with some looking.

Will they feel on my crotch and sexually assault my gf or do I need to go to the airport for that?

Quality rocks. Just go to the show room, have them pour you a bourbon and check out their stuff. Class act, not some sketchy chinatown sweat shop.

I recently purchased two 1818 fitzgerald suits for 1124 pre-tax and alterations.

I have a Brooks Brothers corporate card through my Borders rewards card. The card normally gives you 15% off at the store (including 15% off "special values"), and they had a sale of 25% off the 2 for 1499 if you had a corporate card. You can sign up for the card for free.

So yeah, you can find a better price, but you may need to wait a bit for the next sale.

 

couple years ago grabbed a cheap made-to-measure suit at http://www.mysuitny.com/

Fit great, very basic fabric selection. Turnaround time: 10 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome for campus interviews.

price: under $500

great to have a cheap, well fitting suit without much fuss
