For a European fit, you are looking for high arm-holes, natural shoulders, slim sleeves, waist suppression on the jacket, and tapered legs on your pants. I doubt you would find these at Jos A. Bank. Some may say Jos A Bank suits are quality, especially for their price, but i would disagree. At the low end, i would say check out H&M or Express. They will give you a more fashion forward suit - however their quality is questionable (fused vs canvassed). On the higher end, you cant go wrong with Polo's Purple or Black Label, Hickey Freeman, Oxxford, Kiton, Brioni etc ... but that would set you back at least a grand!!
Filene's basement is aight - you can score some deals there if you look hard. I have been in there maybe twice max, so its hard for me to gie a good assessment of their stuff.
If you want to get a good idea of a great fitting suit, check out Sid Mashburn on Howell Mills, Saks, Neimann and the Polo store in Lenox. Those will give you an idea of what you want. Then you start hunting for deals to find it ... and make a good tailor your best friend.
Best bang for your buck suits I know are Hickey Freeman & Joseph Abboud at Nordstrom Rack(their outlet), $400 & you got a qua-li-ty suit.
I got an all black H&M suit, modern fit was superb, but with all H&M tops their buttons start unraveling after 1-2 wears.

Banana Republic pima's are very comfortable. However, they are $20 a piece I think. If you buy 3 or more you get a discount, though.

I'll cosign the BR pima cotton v-necks. I've had them for two months now and they're great. Haven't lost their shape, still assoft as when I first got them, and the fit is good.

Don't mean to sound repetitive but I can cosign for the Banana Republic v necks too. The quality is great on them and they're super comfy. They'renot too thick but they don't feel cheap at all.

thanks, it was a Christmas gift. They fit really small, I usually wear an XL in most things, but luckily I was given a XXL in this, fits perfect

I need to find a tailor in NYC to alter some of my regular fit clothes to a slim. Any recommendations? I don't suppose walking down countless city blockswould be my best option.
