Does anyone know what jos a bank's superfine rating system means? They have 6, 4 and 2 star ratings but they don't specify what the wool quality is (i.e. super 100, 110, etc.).

Avoid Jos A Bank. They may have superficially good deals, but the quality is not great. They're like $100-200/suit (using discounts & promotions).
Go with Brooks Brothers.

Lol. Knew a guy who traded them for a few weeks and made a killing. All because he loved on of their off the rack specials. Go figure.

All this go buy brooks
All this go buy brooks brothers shit is stupid. That is like someone asking about a honda civic and being told to buy an E class.
Go take a look at the suit and see hownit feels. If you like it then buy it. Just make sure you get it fitted by a tailor. Banana Republic makes some ok suits.

BB isn't that expensive,
BB isn't that expensive, especially @ outlet malls.
Macy's has good deals with coupons. Try Hart Schaffner Marx or above.

I went down to the outlet
I went down to the outlet malls two months ago and BB was offering 2 suits for $500.
What Brooks Brothers lines
What Brooks Brothers lines are the best? 1818 collection? I went to the outlets recently and saw the 2 for $500 deal but the suit quality was unimpressive. Maybe I was looking at the wrong line?
Also, since JAB is running this buy 1 get 2 free deal, are there ANY lines there that are good? Maybe the signature gold line? I'm poor so I'm trying to get 3 serviceable suits for a good price.
There are several lines
There are several lines within the BB 1818 collection.

Thanks. Any comments on the JAB line I mentioned?
I am sorry, but I took a look
I am sorry, but I took a look at BB outlet in Philadelphia and I think their quality is shit. Most of that stuff is made specifically for the outlet store so other than the BB name you are getting sub par quality. If you want to talk about normal BB then I will agree that they make some nice suits, but if you are going to the outlet then you are paying for the name.
I have multiple black label RL suits as well as Hugo and a suit I bought in London. All fitted by a tailer, all very nice and stylish. My favorite suit is the one I paid $400 bucks for at Banana. Fit and feel are all the matters man. I have never once had someone come up to me and be able to call out the brand of suit I have on.

Spot on. Suits are like vodka. Anyone can tell a shitty one from a mile away, but once you hit a certain level of quality, no one can tell the difference, except for the experts (but I doubt there are many Wall Streeters that are tailors are the side)
Thanks guys. I'll just go
Thanks guys. I'll just go check it out for myself.
Brooks Brothers outlets I do
Brooks Brothers outlets I do think are shit. I think the OP would be better off getting 1 suit from BB. I'd take 1 suit from BB over 3 shitty suits from Jos A Bank. The 1818 collection is on sale online right now and the new Milano line is sharp.
"Buy 1 suit, get 2 free" How does that not sound alarms off in someones head that it's a, ahem, "Shitty deal"
