Suits in NYC - $500-$700 range

[bargecharge]

I'm looking for a slim-fitting suit, European or British tailoring, $700 max to spend, in NYC, for an upcoming wedding (not the wedding itself, but some dinners associated with it). Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

You're going to want to find something on sale. I'm pretty sure you missed the boat on this, but Calvin Klein put everything on sale for 70% off. You can try calling in advance to see if that's still going on.

Yeah, all the labor day sales were liquidating their slow-moving mechandise, i.e. suits, formal wear. Barney's Warehouse sale was selling Hickey Freeman and Barney's suits for 400 ~ 500 and there were some Burberry and Armani thrown in there for below 1000. I would suggest you try Mulburry outlet center at Off the 5th, etc. Last time I was there I bought a 90% wool/ 10% cashmere suit for below 400 and a Missoni suit for below 500, both made in Italy (but that honestly doesn't mean anything anymore, heh).

Century 21 (Downtown near World Trade Center) is what you're looking for my friend. You can find amazing things there.

Try Saquesuit, www.saquesuit.com, out of NY. Thomas Cunningham sounds like a standup guy. Go to www.styleforum.net and search for more info there. Some of th e guys on that forum really know their stuff. Not meaning to shill. Call it information exchange.
