Jos A Bank

Boo Hiss! I sent my 16 year old in to purchase a new suit for homecoming. I was going to be out of town for the process of buying the suit and called in advance to see if I could send him with my personal blank check (made out to JosABank) I was given instructions to write my driver’s license # on the check. I also made a copy of my driver’s license. My son’s DL matches my last name and address.
The very authoritative salesperson turned my son away and when I called to (from out of town) to approve the use of the check… The salesperson said that it was for my protection that he would not allow
The check. How about use some common sense and see if the story adds up in the slightest and make this happen! How about not ruin a relationship when I tried my best to make this work out! This isn’t about bank laws or protecting me. this is about unbending corporate silliness. No small town love.
Butch Hoffers. We miss you!

I will soon be moving to Washington, D.C., for graduate school and will be interning in some federal offices. So, I figured I would get a new suit. Fortunately, Jos A Bank was running a special; buy one suit, get three suits free, so I took advantage of the offer.
Granted, the one suit was $ 995, which I would never have paid for a single suit, but getting four at that price wasn’t too bad. The staff were very helpful and I was quite surprised that they had several suits in my size (50L). Doug Sauerwein was my salesperson, and he was very knowledgeable and professional. He marked my suits for tailoring just the way I wanted.
With the tailoring on all four suits, the «traveler’s crease» (a permanent crease on the trousers), and the tax, my total was $ 1,325.52, which averages just over $ 330 each. I was promised the suits on 20 May, but was surprised when I got a call today, a full week early, that my suits were ready to be picked up. They fit perfectly and the tailoring looks very professionally done.
Besides the suits, they have a great selection of shirts, sports coats, shoes (including Johnston & Murphy), socks, belts, ties, suspenders… just about anything you could need and a quality haberdasher should have.
I am very pleased with my experience and the professionalism that the staff exhibited. If you’re in need of some fine, professional clothing, definitely give them a try.
