Plan on going down Madison and stopping at Jcrew, Tyrwhitt, and Suitsupply (SF tells me to stay away from JAB and MW so I'll do my best :D)

Any other places in this price range I should target? I'm assuming BB, Paul Stuart, etc. are all significantly more expensive. Of the three mentioned, is there one that's clearly better?

Thanks!

Find your size in BB, or visit Sak's, Bergdorf Goodman and Bloomingdale's and then come back to B&S and look for your suit.


Not enough time, have a bunch of job interviews lined up, and my old suit doesn't fit anymore

try rothmans at park ave south and 18th st.
they have a suit from Paul Betenley.
chinese made, full canvas.
modern youthful cut, but interview appropriate.

i bought one for my son.

staff at rothman's is good. and tell them your timing for alterations.
Ask for Mark, older salesman with grey hair tell him carl sent you.

good luck with the interviews

SuitSupply head and shoulders above the other two mentioned in your first paragraph. I'd put them above BB as well. Paul Stuart is on another level, both quality- and price-wise.
