I got a healthy stipend to buy suits for my job - I went to Moores and bought 5 and they wouldnt toss in a tie or a shirt. Not even free alterations.

The suits are fine, but you probably have to go to an independently owned store to get a deal.

Is Anthony's per l'uomo still open in Calgary? Awesome suits at a rock bottom price. As nice as Brooks Brothers at a half to 1/3 the cost.

No, they haven't been around for a while know, Anthony's went for a younger crowd than Brooks Bros did, so if you were starting out Anthony's is probably perfect.

BB has better selection to I'd say.

is there a BB in Phx? I haven't seen one.

Call me Old School, but I won't shop at -- or buy --- anything labelled "per l'uomo."

Maybe you can find some guidance in this old thread: http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthr...highlight=suit

Ahhh yes, I bought a couple of suits from Anthony's Chinook location back in the day. I still think they were up there with the best suits I've ever owned.

I am so glad I don't have to wear a suit any more at the office. Did it for 12 years, but not any more... strictly business casual. (Dockers /Hagaar slacks, shirt, etc.)
No more wearing a tie when its 25 deg C out and no more big dry cleaning bills and no more spending all that money on 4 or 5 suits... now I can spend it on a few more rounds of golf and that new Driver to get that extra 10 yds off the tee..
