A physician or an administrator at Henry Ford Providence Southfield spends the working day in a coat that makes every suit underneath it irrelevant. Then there is the foundation dinner, the conference panel, the interview for the department chair, and suddenly the suit is the whole first impression and it has not been looked at in three years.
The one suit that has to be right
For a man who wears a suit six times a year and needs every one of those six to land, buy one good one rather than three adequate ones. A charcoal from the Half-Canvassed Luxury tier, $300 to $500, in a wool that holds a press through a long evening, and a second shirt in the car.
When the rack will not do
Tall men and broad men who have spent a career in scrubs sometimes find the rack fits nothing well, because they have never been fitted for anything. Custom starts at $599: Ben takes twenty measurements, you choose the cloth, and it comes together over two to three fittings. It is the one purchase in this category that gets better with each wear.
Roman, master tailor at Lincoln Tailor, on site in our store, keeps it fitting between events. From Nine Mile it is Greenfield north; the showroom is just south of I-696.
