True dat DE. I don't even own a suit LOL. There is a suit place that runs a lot of TV ads and their key word is FREEEEEEEE I hate the way the guy says the word. Last ad i saw was, buy one suit get 2 FREEEEEEEEEEE They are really trying to move their inventory. Times must be tough for the suiting industry!

And woke up to the debates. Talk about half the field being an empty suit LOL Santorum is so cute, trying to play with the big boys...Perry and Huntsman, their lights are on, but no ones home.......Paul as usual,they kept cutting him off. Funny thing is, even if he doesn't win, he will still make the serious changes for the better!

Okay, the author has a point. While it doesn't take much effort to find a decent wool suit going for $800 (Lord & Taylor), it takes a fancier store to find prices higher than that. The Macy's on-line ad I looked at had nothing for more than $650. I don't think many of us really NEED anything better than the best carried by Macy's or L&T, but maybe I'm naive.

On the OTHER hand, in 1911, you'd get a suit from a taylor, not a department store. The suit would REALLY be fitted for you. It might be more appropriate to compare the 1911 suits to the high end shops that I skipped.

Unfortunately, the "one ounce of gold still buys a fine suit" story has to be taken with a grain of salt. While the spirit of it is definitely true, the literalness of it can never be proven. 1911 suits aren't made in 2012. (Ironically, 1911 handguns still are!) What's definitely true, though, is that there ain't no way you're getting a suit today with a $20 bill. A cheap tie to go WITH your multi-hundred-dollar suit, maybe...
