I bought a $50 suit at last month sale. List price is $700, but it is $100 quality.
Never buy Executive collection or 1905 collection jackets or suits from JosABank. These are very low quality.
Signature collection is pretty nice if you get it for under 150-200 for a suit or close to 100 for a Jacket. These are usually half canvas and the pants are lined to the knee and the fabric is pretty decent.
Reserve collection is actually good with (from what I understand) full canvas construction and fully lined trousers in case of suits. The fabrics are genuinely nice and most (not all) have picked sticking on lapels. The list price of suits/jacksets for these is 1200/700 which is laughable but anything at 400/150
I see some Reserve collection sportcoats and suit seperates for close to $50 and this is a smoking deal. Have ordered some right now. Alterations might turn out to be pricier than the clearance price of these.
Can always return within 30 days to the local JAB store.

Ditto on the reserve or signature collection. I must have a dozen Banks in my closet. Got 4 nice suits last month for less than $100 each. I picked up two Tropical Blends (Linen / wool) for about $50 each. Not quite as nice as the other collections but fine for summer in and out of the office. I like that blend because it is cooler and the wool helps reduce the wrinkles. Already got compliments on both.
The "traditional" cut are quite baggy by modern standards. Unless you are overweight, I would suggest the "Tailored". The Slims are tighter, but not an awful lot. They are definitely not the super skinny look you see worn by the 20 somethings.
There may be better suits out there, but unless you hang with the wall street crowd, these are work day suits.
The best way to find something is to do the filtered search. It works poorly on Firefox, but reasonably well on Chrome.

Signature GOLD. Not just signature. Signature is just as meh as their other lines. There are some solid sig gold suit options at $100.

FWI, I do not think they are 100% consistent with their labeling. Last year I got a "Gold" that had pic stitched lapels, Bemberg lining and seemed to be half canvas. I also like the Imperial blend, wool/silk.
If you don't like what you get you can always do an in store return if there is one near you, which I did for several that came in miss-sized or just did hang right.
I just checked my sizes and the few suits listed were over $130. If you find the same in your size and don't need to buy today, they have a good sale (less than $100) at least once a year.
I found these to be not so much for fat, ripped or skinny as for the bulky type. Think large flat rectangle with sticks for limbs. Maybe I'm spoiled by always having had fitted suits but I gave these a try and there was no way to make it work. The gold quality is acceptable.
suits are definitely not good. just as bad as those Kenneth Cole and Calvin Klein series from Macy's sales. $50-$80 dollars suits that are sold "at a discount" from marked-up $400 price tag but actually value represents something ~$120ish. If looking for something good, but on a budget, wait for those biannual SuitSupply sales.

Stick with reserve or signature gold and you'll be fine.

Any one have any experience with their shirts?
