Lear’s headquarters at 21557 Telegraph Road is where a lot of Southfield careers start, and an interview at a company that sells to automakers is what you’d expect: quiet and careful.
Navy, then charcoal, then nothing else
A first interview suit is navy. A second suit, if the process runs long, is charcoal. A white shirt, a plain tie, a black shoe with laces. None of that is a rule we made up; it is what the people across the table are wearing.
Fit over label, every time
A $250 suit from the Signature Wool tier, fitted properly, beats a suit at three times the price that hangs off the shoulder. A consultant takes your measurements here in the building, and Roman, master tailor at Lincoln Tailor, on site in our store, sets the sleeve, the waist and the break to you. Nobody here is on commission, so the advice you get is the advice.
If the interview is this week
A hem is a small job Roman can often do while you wait, and for anything bigger he quotes the job and confirms the completion date before he starts. Tell the consultant your date and Roman will tell you straight what is possible by then. From Telegraph, take Ten Mile east past the Evergreen corridor; the showroom is on the right past the Lincoln Shopping Center.
Also for Southfield: The Lunch-Break Fitting from the Town Center. More on style consulting, or plan your visit to our Oak Park showroom.
