I took in a suit jacket to have the buttons replaced that they broke when they dry cleaned it the previous week. Owner said they would pay to replace the suit if they cannot find it.

My problem is coming up with how much to ask for. I want to be fair.

I bought the suit three years ago. I used to live in Dallas that has a really good Neimans outlet (Neimans is HQ in dallas). I bought five suits and a bunch of shirts and ties at the same time so I cannot remember specific prices, but I think the following is close and good for discussion.

Regular retail at Neimans: 1900
Regular outlet price: 1200
Outlet sale price: 1000
20% off for opening credit card (might have been a discount for spending a lot): 800

I highly doubt I'll be able to replace the suit with one just like it. So to the best of my memory i paid about $800 for the suit, but if i was to get a comparable suit where where I live now, it would be close to $2k. Also I still have the pants.

And yes, I will need to replace it in a timely fashion.
