...over on Memorial in Waco. Very awesome men's store. Not really an outlet, but an old school men's clothing store with a tailor and everything. Bought my first suit there, and have continued to buy clothes there. The people that owned it and worked in there were incredible. Apparently too much competition from the big stores and the Internet. Sad to see it go.

Its a Jos A Bank/Mens Wearhouse world

(I actually like JosB. Men's wearhouse, not so much)

when are they closing? Son finishes his MBA next week and job searching and my husband has outgrown all his suits

Don't know for sure....wife went yesterday to get me a couple of shirts...she didn't say when they would be closing.

Wife told me they will be closing as soon as they run out of inventory...........

Hate to see them go. A great store for many years!

I just bought out all the slacks in my size. My problem is I am starting a diet in the new year and will be sol to find clothing until I can get down to a size where I can shop at the mundanes' stores.

Cheer up, Waco Aggies. Jos Banks is in town. I come out of there about twice a year with about 2 wheel barrows worth of shiiittt.

It'll be alright.

Sign up for their email flyer. You get alerts in their sales. Some sales are better than others, but the 3 for 1 let's you load up on stuff, and the occasional door buster sale can net you enough suits to last you for years.

Was in there today and picked up a $300 sport coat for $75. Also found an A&M polo for my dad and found out the owner's kids are Aggies. Very nice folks, sad to see them go after just finding the place. They told us they should be open through Jan and possibly Feb. Still lots of stuff left so they'll be open till they run out.

Man, I need to make it by there. And yes, the owners are some of the nicest people you'd want to meet. I've found some good clothes in that place over the years. Got my first suit there...and my most recent suit.

you ok, bo?

almost as bad as the sportster shutting its doors.

the sportster was by far the worst closing for locals! They carried children's sizes in all the sport shoes, clothing and equipment!

back then it was the place for fishing equipment if you wanted something more specialized than WalMart.
