S it That Fit Fine
. Without fit, no suit is worth buying, no matter how
find the materials, or how smart the style.
- Fit is one of the most important features you pay for
in a suit, yet how often you miss getting it in the average
I suit.
Our Spring and Summer Suits fit fine—a try-on shows
.how fine and perfect—and the style, the tailoring and the
materials are just as fine as the fit. Smooth as silk over
the shoulders; collars that hug the neck; coats that set a
man off ; trousers that set as if made to measure.
From $1010 $30 we show a tremendous range of the
new colors and stripes, in the smartest and snappiest
styles we have ever shown. You should see them.
Summery wears as soon as you are ready.
