So, I had this sweet Hugo Boss suit I bought from Nordstrom, which happened to be my only suit. Then, somehow I decided to wash and dry the pants. Ruined. With two weddings coming up in the near future, I found myself checking out the MensUSA, because I missed the men's sale at Nordstrom.

Well, my style consultant, aka girlfriend tagged along with me, because all I am is arm candy, so she gives the ultimate approval. She was concerned about the "fashion" or lack there of at an establishment like this. Let's just say the style is mature. This is, after all, where my dad buys suits.

Unlike others' experiences, I personally received great service, even though I'm a...young professional...ya that's the ticket. I was wearing jeans and flip flops, but seemed to be swarmed by people wanting to sell me stuff. I was greeted with a firm handshake and taken directly to the suits in my size.

Despite my gf's concerns, I was able to find a nice flat-front suit. The price was definitely much cheaper than Nordstrom. The playing field seemed to level out once we got to the alteration.

So, apparently if you wear a 48 long jacket, you're supposed to be 8 ft tall and weigh 400lbs, because the arms were the only part of this suit that didn't need alteration. I felt like a kid in my dad's suit, when I tried on the pants. So, I needed 5 cuts to make the suit fit. And they charged for every cut. That's shady to me. It's like oh, you want this suit to fit, bam 150 extra bucks. Nobody tells you this before you ring up. BTW, Nordstrom does not charge for alteration.

This seems like a high-stakes hustle for the sales people, because they do a major hard-sell on the accessories. I found them a little bummed that I wouldn't buy any of their shirts, ties, socks, or shoes. I found the salesman a little rude to my girlfriend who was poo-pooing his shirt selections.

When I came back to pick up my suit, I was very happy with the alteration job they did. It fits me perfectly.

So, suits are pretty cheap, but they get you on the alteration. They really make you feel like a man and call you Mister. I don't like the alteration fees, but they do a damn good job. Salesmanship is pretty intense, which made me feel a little uncomfortable, because I don't have 1000 bucks to blow. So basically, you give and you get, but ideally, I wouldn't shop here.
