Bloomfield Hills keeps its offices on two roads, Woodward and Long Lake, and the firms on Woodward, Dykema and Warner Norcross among them, take on first-year associates. A first-year associate owns the interview suit and a paycheck that has to stretch. The question is what the second suit is, and it isn’t another navy.
The second suit is charcoal
The interview suit was navy. The second is charcoal. Between them they cover every day of a working year without anyone noticing a repeat, and they rotate, which lets each rest and is the reason both last.
Where the money goes
Both from the Signature Wool tier, $259 to $299: real wool that holds a press through a long day at a desk and a longer one in a conference room. Two of those, fitted, beat one suit that wasn’t.
Fit them both at one fitting
A consultant measures once and Roman, master tailor at Lincoln Tailor, on site in our store, sets both. Bring the shoes you’ll wear to work. From Woodward it is south to I-696 west, off at Greenfield.
