off 5th cracks me up. Unless you get a really brand name ie zenga etc they'll sell you a Calvin Klein suit for 400 (that's with 40% off) where in any corner store they will give the same suit for 180! Point is be careful in off 5th, because it's "saks" doesn't mean it's a good deal/suit
Agreed, but I got 2 Zegna suits for a good price.

Good question. I believe Zegna cloth. Not 100% sure.

do people really think the j bank sig. and exec suits are really that bad? ??? bec. i just picked up 2 of them at $133-10 and 111-10 respectively. just wondering

The signature is good quality (also depends on the wool or blend like merino or wool/silk or wool/cashmere. Nothing like the signature gold though...

Anyone ever check out S&B in Long Island? http://www.yelp.com/biz/s-and-b-manufacturers-liquidator-farmingdale
Are they still in business? They used to have a store in Brooklyn, years ago, in Bay Ridge/sunset park.  A few years ago they opened in Manhattan.  I haven't seen their ads in a very long time, I wonder if they all closed down... They were very cheap.

:o That's quite a rare sight!
Was it by any chance size 62 in some strange color that nobody wants to buy?! :D
Would you care to share which branch?  ;)

A nice lightish grey suit
33 pants 38 jacket  ;D

Was in the beverly centre in LA on one of those 40% off sale items days
Came in 10 minutes before the sale ended and actually put the suit together myself
Also found a second pair of identical pants for $40
Was a great buy :)

Zegna cloth doesn't mean much as far as quality.

Yes. And they do have a good selection of ties. And they will usually help you match ties to suits (and shirts).
and by the way @MoisheBatchy Mazal Tov!

Yup... almost three years too late. But blessings are accepted anytime, so what the heck. :)

Better late than never!
Also, there is no Marital Status option in the profile, so how should i know how long/if someone is married?
