The whole of Center Line is close to the Van Dyke ramp, and after that it’s a single run west on I-696 to Greenfield. That is about as convenient as our map gets, and convenience carries one specific risk when it comes to buying a suit.
The risk
Treating it as a quick stop, which leads to accepting the first jacket that closes and asking for a hem and nothing else. The suit is then technically the right size and visibly unfitted, which is the state most badly dressed men are in.
What fifteen more minutes buys
A proper measurement instead of an assumed size. A second jacket tried after the first nearly works. And a look at yourself seated, which is where trousers and a jacket both reveal problems that standing hides.
And a second trip costs almost nothing
On a drive this short, coming back to check the finished suit on a moving body is trivial, and it’s the step that catches the last quarter inch. Roman, master tailor at Lincoln Tailor, on site in our store, quotes each job before he starts.
