Our long national menswear nightmare is over.

The back and forth between Mens Warehouse and Jos. A Bank has finally come to a closeAfter months of ‘We’re gonna buy you!” and “No we’re gonna buy you!” the thing ends like this:

Men’s Wearhouse is going to pay $1.8 billion for its smaller (but, if I may say, classier) competitor. 

Also: I’m still not Audie Cornish.
