I have to say I found Theory lacking. I think the sizing doesn't work for me.

I just bought 2 theory suits. They are wonderful, hang beautifully, and last and last. Worth it, especially if you find them at the Outlets.

Theory- there is an outlet in leesburg that carries all the same stuff that they have at saks/neimans

Jcrew has wool. I love all of mine.

Banana Republic used to be wool, good quality. Suits have gone down significantly in quality - lots more poly, and the fit is looking more grandma than Ann Taylor suits looks in 2002. I've also been trying to find a a few new suits to round out my closet, and have been having a heck of a time. So many of the mid range brands have started using poly. Places like the Limited aren't really interview appropriate, as they are tight in the bum and thighs thanks to the stretchy poly. It also seems to be a bad era of suit-style -- even the theory ones look really unflattering these days. I'm at a loss.

ditto on banana republic

zara or even HM, more contemporary

Theory

The Limited.

+1 also - Nordstroms carries Theory, there's a Tahari store in tyson's 2

PP here- Bloomingdales is a good option too! I find their selection more modern and stylish than Nordstrom.

Banana Republic is wool. Seriously, go to Banana Republic. Current-looking, good quality, and affordable.

Maybe try some of the better consignment shops- you might land a Chanel or something really nice.
