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
what's wrong with slim fit suits?
check outlets
25% is the most you're going to get off.
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
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.
they dont carry the fitzgerald 1818 at woodbury commons
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.
thanks abacab, you're the only one who answered my question
Not sure the exact prices, or when this sale even was, but suits can definitely go for 50% off, you just have to buy them at the right time:

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.

$450 custom suit, get fitted in their Flatiron boutique, or email them measurements. Takes 5 weeks.
UVA guys who quit their FO jobs to start a custom clothier.
In the boutique, they use a full body scanner to 3-D image your measurements. Takes 30 seconds.
Great fabric selection
Great selections starting at:
Custom Dress shirts @ $75
Custom Dress pants @ $110

skip brooks, they are crap.
Will they feel on my crotch and sexually assault my gf or do I need to go to the airport for that?
Regards
yeah veritas was kinda asking for that...
anyone else have experience with altonlane though? the natural skeptic in me is looking for confirmation that the quality is decent
found this on alton lane: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=151700
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.
Have you also used Mr. Ned? If so, how do they compare?
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.
thanks wanderer, that is good info.
couple years ago grabbed a cheap made-to-measure suit at http://www.mysuitny.com/
