Need to buy a blazer or suit in NYC
June 26, 2013 6:09 AM Subscribe
I left my standard blue blazer on another continent and will be speaking in front of a group of 400 people tomorrow in Manhattan. I'll be there by 1pm and don't know where to get something that fits. I'm thinking of a) finding something else a bit more stylish, b) would buy a suit if necessary but doubt it could be ready in time, but I'm open to that if there is a great recommendation.
Head to Macy's in Herald Square. You'll find affordable separates there and some really snappy things. The store is huge and well-stocked.
Ask the salesperson if they have a coupon. There's ALWAYS a coupon and it's usually good for 20% off.

The Century 21 on Lincoln square has a decent men's section and isn't as insane/crowded as the one at WTC.
Also, yeah Macy's, for emergencys- you can always haggle a bit there.

Oh, and if you can hit a price point above Macy's...Suit Supply. It's the Macy's of SoHo.

Response by poster: The Welk - Money is not "no" object, but I buy something like this about once per decade so I'm ok splurging a bit...

Best answer: I'd say Suit Supply is your best bet for Having what you want, brisk, professional salespeople, and an inhouse tailoring dept ( not sure if you could get something altered RIGHT NOW TODAY NOW but it couldn't hurt to ask).

Macy's gives a discount to customers who live more than 200 miles from the Macy's they're shopping in. You have to ask for it at customer service before you make your purchase. I think it's 10%.

( well if money is no object, then go to Freeman's Sporting Club, obviously.)
