    Very cool indeed JR. Only thing that could top that is if they let you pork the sheep that the wool came from.

    The thing to know about Joseph A. Bank is there is never a reason to pay full price because there is almost always a sale. Check out the clearance section online, lots of stuff. Unremarkable quality, but reasonable prices. I recently scored some $60 seersucker pants (I know, I'd never wear them to work, but they're good for summer parties) for $19, although I see they've adjusted the "sale" price to $40. So ... if you scope them out periodically, you can do well on everyday business wear, nothing great ... but if you buy at full price to fill an immediate need, you're not getting a bargain.

    Its the only time to buy there. I signed up for corporate card and now get a mailing with advance sale notifications. Also get coupons for additional 10% of sale stuff. As you said - its good filler stuff.

    Wait for sale though.

    Yeah, Jos. A. Bank is a lot like Kohl's in that aspect, albeit with higher-quality men's clothing available.

    Keep your eyes open and you can find Jos. A. Banks suits for around $200 during sales.

    Banks has some real prizes - the key is to take care of your salemen. They will then call you and put aside good stuff when they know its going on sale.

    They are all over the place, but yes, they have a store on Madison in the 40s near Brooks Brothers and J.Press.
