Suit up!
FYI- Barney's warehouse sale is going on. Last day is Sunday March 04.
I went yesterday and they still have lots of stuff. Valentino, Burberry, Armani, Hugo Boss, etc suits from $400-$700.
Dress shirt selection is limited, but there are good finds ( I picked up a Zegna shirt original price $490, for $140)
Location is 17th street b/w 7th and 8th ave
Hopefully some decent stuff left. I found this from another forum, and hopefully it can be of use to all:

I went a couple times and managed to get one suit. The suits are marked down to 600-700 with an additional 25% off the red tags.
Who knows of a GOOD alterations tailor around Fidi/Tribeca/Gramercy?
As of yesterday red tag is 40% off.
Guess it's time to go back..
why would you spend 3k+ for oxxford, kiton, or brioni when u can go bespoke for that
agreed.
