little boys and suits

[*Celeste*]

i have to take sam (age 8) shopping for a suit for first communion. we went to the mall yesterday and of course lord & taylor and macy's the suits were $200. for a suit he'll wear once. ugh. i tried jc penney but they didn't have any selection in terms of sizes. who else carries suits? i've never gone to a consignment shop for kids clothes. do they typically have suits? there are a couple in town. i just feel like buying him a suit is throwing money down the drain YKWIM? ugh.
