JC Penny has rather large selection of mens suits, suit jackets, and dress pants at 75% off. I had a formal last night (Saturday) and stopped by a few hours earlier.. ended up with a full Stafford suit for 75 bucks (retail was 300), and threw in two pairs of plaid dress pants at 15 bucks each. This appears to be B&M only; I priced the suit at JCPenny.com and it's only 33% off (costs 199.99.) This was in the Albany, NY store, and the Mens Department salesman told me other stores were doing it as well. I also saw a selection of Tuxedo jacket + pant combos for 99.99. Not a bad investment.
There was also a rack of much higher end suits (starting retail 500+ dollars) that were marked down to 75% off.

I've never bought a suit at JC Penney before, but other department stores typically do the alterations (or send them off to be done--I know Macy's and, back in the day, Dayton's use to do it). The only difference I've noticed is that it typically takes longer than elsewhere and you don't usually have the option to rush the job at additional cost.

Just FYI, the first time I went suit shopping, I went to JCPenney's... most of the suits looked really cheap. I ended up going to Macy's and got a really nice RL suit (although it was about 3x more than most of the suits at JCP). Macy's was also able to do a rush alteration on my suit and it was done that afternoon... even though I had to pay quite a bit more for the alterations.
I have bought many suits from Penney's. They do have some cheap ones, but many are very nice. They do alterations. Whenever I need a suit I always go to their sale/clearance event. Truth is a $450 suit for $100 is a great deal, probably not going to get a RL suit for $100, but quality will be about the same.
I buy Portly size suits from J C Penney, which reduces the amount of alterations needed. Look at the 44P (and similar) sizes if you are girth-challenged and normally require tailor-made Both trousers and coats are available in the P variant.
I want to confirm for Deptford Mall in South Jersey. I paid $50 for the long coat that normally costs $200, also bought 3 pairs of high end boots - they are all 75%. Also bought bedding set - I left the mall with the trunk full of nice stuff

Wouldn't portly be height challenged? I only know from personal experience.
Last year I purchased a hot looking $600 Italian suit at JCp's for $105 during one of these sales. Yes they have some cheap suits like everyone else but they also have some damn good stuff as well.
the code on my coupon was MC4449290000000000000000, so it's just slightly different, or if you find anything online use the discount code JANSURV for 15% off.
