Saks Fifth house brand suits

I recently got an interview for a summer internship at a PWM company, and so I assume I'll need a suit, for that, and hopefully the job if I end up getting it.

I looked on Saks Off Fifth, and from what I can tell based on the pictures, their house brand suits seem to look okay, however, while they ostensibly go for $900, they're "on sale" for $200, which makes me question the quality. I know some companies like to claim a product's MSRP is way higher than what the thing is worth but then mark it down to reflect what its actually worth in an attempt to make people to think theyre getting some kind of deal. Can't help but wonder if thats whats happening here, I mean, how good a suit can you really get for $200?

In short, are Saks Off Fifth house brand suits actually "$900 suit quality"? Are they at least decent suits?
