My suits are all lined, tailored perfectly and have outlasted the styles, that's for sure (brooks/armani/hugo)


Ron, I figure you as the guy who stands beside the line to sit on Santa's lap at Macy's and whispers to the kids that it's just a regular dude in a red suit

I've never had a problem with shirts shrinking, no matter where I got them. Some of the newer shirts are actually not recommended for dry cleaning- you're supposed to wash them in cold water in the hand wash cycle or hand wash them in a sink. Not too many dry cleaners know how to launder a shirt the proper way.

Kudos to you for not needing to have your suits altered. My point was that a good tailor lines the pants as they do alterations

For those of us who need more than 5 suits in their closet, 70% off a "cheap suit" ain't a bad deal!
