Default Cheapest place to buy a good suit?

I need a suit for an interview next Wednesday and the potential Honda face to face interview (I did really well on the phone interview so I expect a call)...what's a good place to buy a suit for cheap? One of my buddies always goes to Men's Warehouse, I might try that. I know department stores have cheap stuff but I want something that includes the cost of getting it tailored.

:rofl: I'll buy a Ferrari suit like that and a Ferrari hat like a guy I saw at Watkins Glen did one time...he had Ferrari badges on his Beretta :rofl:

Apparently everyone at Honda wears the same uniform (engineers, managers, plant workers) and the "office" has no cubicles and is like a giant gym with carpeted floors...no private offices.

thanks dude. I had a 2 hour phone interview on wednesday and the lady really liked me...I had her laughing pretty good and she sounded genuinely interested/impressed in some of my work experience and stories. She was impressed that I autocross my Accord with 240k miles and maintain it all myself and I managed to throw in a story about a pain in the ass problem I fixed with it that related to a question she asked
