Ya, shoot me a PM this Wednesday and I can forward you mine if I get one. A lot of the times you'll get the coupon and it has a generic coupon code, so you can just print a few (they hand them out in store willy-nilly, so its not a big deal).
Some weeks have unique barcodes, so you'd need two seperate coupons and purchases to get the suit.
As KTrain said, signup, and you'll get them yourself.

me and my groomsmen have all just ordered our suits from harrysuits. they are based out of india, and a typical custom suit is about $250. two of the suits have already been delivered and they both fit and look really good. i'm very impressed that the quality is better than we expected.

I've started ebaying my suits/sports coats. It's not M2M, but I can get some high end stuff, and take it to a tailor for a fraction of the cost of a crappy Indochino suit.

Don't get the Perry Ellis. Peerless makes those suits and $400 bucks is way too much. That markup is beyod scary on that guy as we sell those suits, under the Franco Tassi label, (same suit just pick a label, to get PE on it would cost us $5 more) for $250 at retail and we aren't losing money.
If you want to spend in that $550-700 range go for a Jack Victor. By the sounds of it and judging by your age go for one of their trimmer fits. If the body style starts with "N" (eg Napoli) it is a trimmer fit, if it starts with a "Z" (eg Zuma) it is even trimmer yet. The Z bodies are most likely the fits that are similar to the Banana Republic one you tried on. Stay away from anything with a "V" as that is the more traditional "boxy" fit.
Also remember that your shoulder trick isnt always the way as it all depends on the fit you are buying. Slimmer cuts should be tighter in the shoulders than a more tradition cut so your shoulder trick doesn't always apply. If you are that 170-185 and around 5'9-5'11" you are most likely the 40R.

I have never heard of Harry Suits, but I like their site, it's simple and easy to use. SUPER cheap as well, $175 for the "My First Custom Harry Suit"? almost seems too good to be true. You found the quality to be pretty good?
Does anyone else have any experience ordering from these guys? If so, what are your thoughts?

we ordered the sample swatches before we ordered any suits. my fiancee and her mother both agreed that the fabric was good quality, and they are fussy and meticulous. my best man and a groomsmen have received their suits and say everything looks and fits great. i will be getting my suit this week most likely, so i will post my thoughts once i get to see it first hand. but, so far, we are very impressed with the promptness and quality of suit.

Pants need to be hemmed big time. Can't tell much else with your hands in your pockets, but if you are happy then it's all good!

Agreed with worth on the hem. The crotch and from the waist to the knee looks baggy, but that could be the hands. I'd have taken the picture with a dress shirt on. I'd want to see how the vest looks with a collar and a tie. I'd also take the picture with the arms out of the pockets so we could see the length in the jacket. I can't tell if it's too long, or just bunched up by the angle.

Thoughts on Jos. A. Bank suits? The sale on right now would let me get 2 suits for $550 or so.

i'll try to get a pic with a shirt on for you, if you care that much....
i threw it on as soon as it arrived by courier this afternoon, so it is still very wrinkly, maybe that makes things look a little wonky, i don't know.

You know your aren't supposed to do up the bottom button right? That's a major fauxpas.
But seriously, if you're ordering something, Jack Victor is probably your best bet.
That being said, I recently bought a Tiger of Sweden suit in the Norden body and can't say enough good things about it. I had to shorten the sleeves on the jacket and hemm the pants but that is it. It fits like a glove. I have a JV as well, but it wasn't there Tru Measure program, and the Tiger off the rack fit me way better. I'm still really curious to try out Jack Victor's Tru Measure though. It would be awesome to rock a real surgeons cuff.

Just making sure. Although if you had just fastened the bottom button and popped the collar and lapels of the jacket I would have had an aneurism.
