I don't have a high level job so I don't need a $1000.00 suit. The BB outlet has the 346 100% wool suit for $275.00, I can get the JAB signature suit for about $200 (plus alterations) and the Signature Gold for about $300.00 (plus alterations) Which one is of better quality. I understand high quality suits, but my budget does not support that right now.

They're pretty much equal. Get whatever one feels best for you and spend money on good alterations. I'd decide between the BB outlet and the Signature Gold.
Of the suits you listed, the Signature Gold is likely of the highest quality. It has a bemberg lining, is half-canvassed, and (seems to be) 100% wool.. 300 for a suit of that construction is reasonable imo. I would avoid the 346, because it is clearly polyester, and has a very cheap look and feel imo. So, for 275 + alterations I do not think the BB is a good choice. And I love Brooks Brothers. Just think the 346 line is borderline offensive,
He said it is 100% wool?
Ooops. I was going by experience, I guess they've made some improvements. Nothing was wool when I was in there last (spring?). Either way, I personally think their finish is awful. Reading comprehension is spotty...
Everything about this is win. BB has 25% off sale for this weekend only. Otherwise, wait until after Christmas then 40% everything. Don't waste your money on 346.
25% for cardholders, 15% for all others... Christmas sale + 25% for opening a card is whats up. Then they send you a $40 off coupon, perfect to knock the three dress shirt deal down the following week.
Both kind of suck. If you only have $300 to spend, use it to buy a suit from a company that specializes in making $300 suits. Brooks Brothers 1818 line is fucking great, but they don't care about making cheap suits. If you specifically buy a suit at the outlet (may not apply to shirts etc), you're just paying for the brand name - you're not gonna get a good deal when it comes to suits

The BB Outlet had suits that were 97% wool and 3% Lycra and also 100% wool. Both said 346 Stretch, the blend was made in Jordon and the 100% wool in Mexico. The look of the suit looked very similar to the Sig. Gold

^^ I bought a suit from this guy, they are legit. Better suits for the same price you're looking for.
BTB is 100% right. Made to measure is great, at least in appearance. Not sure if the suits are canvassed, but the ones I have seen look good enough that it's a moot point. I'm going MTM the next time I need a new suit.
Also, don't overlook second hand. Outside of finance, a lot of people own a suit but rarely wear it (if ever). My best suit is a Canali I picked up on Ebay for $200. It was basically mint condition. You can do much worse if money's an issue.
Thanks for all your responses I found a excellent condition Tom James Filo A Mano suit on Ebay for under $100.00. that is very close to my size
