And when I say custom, I mean they will make it from scratch for you. You pick the fabrics, linings, etc. and they take your measurements and notes on exactly how you want it to fit. They source their textiles from all of the same places as major designers. Usually the suits only cost a few hundred bucks a pop. Dress shirts are like 70, again, completely custom down to the button placement. The only catch is they usually have a high minimum order. It’s a fun thing to do when you’re young and need some quality pieces. Get some good friends together with whiskey and cigars, the rep/tailor brings over all of the fabric samples and a catalogue showing examples, and everyone orders a bunch of stuff. No need to slum it on EBay or Salvation Army. It’ll cost about the same and you’ll have brand new bespoke clothing. Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it. I know a few people at work are looking for some suits as well.
May 8, 20205 yr Haberdashery is one of those words that is fun to say drunk. Well I'm not really sure it is for certain but it just sounds like it would be. Ima go home and find out for sure. 👀 "Haberdashery!"

You have to wonder, did they take them off a dead guy to save money and pay for a funeral maybe? Do they come with a black light? So many questions. 👀 Not everyone can afford Armani, Vuitton, Boss, who cares? Just be clean. I got a Boss suit from Saks off 5th for $300. Had it tailored in Poland from some old babka that's been doing in since communism. Look sharp as a MF. Original price was ~$1200, I'm in $320 for it.

Good tax write off I have about 10 pair of Allen Edmonds dress shoes that I'm probably going to sell - there's an ebay store across from my apartment complex, I might just drop them all off there and let them deal with the hassle of listing, photos, shipping, etc. Probably worth the 25% they charge.

Imelda Marcos is that you?
May 11, 20205 yr So................ I have to wear khakis or dress pants and a company shirt for work, and when I'm off work it's jeans, shorts or other comfortable clothes. Last time I wore a suit was to my cousins funeral (same suit I wore to my daughters wedding). Never really been in to clothes all that much.
