If you hit Dillards right, you can find some great deals on suits! My dad is a major clothes snob (major!), and only buys the nicest of the nice suits, clothes, ties, and shoes...but he waits until they are a bargain. Dillards recently had a sale of an additional 40% off of clearance prices, and he was able to get 3 new Hart Shaffner Marx suits and 1 new Hickey Freeman suit for between $700-800 total. The Hickey Freeman suit alone was originally priced almost $1400! You really just have to hit it at the right time.
