The tallest tower in the Town Center runs thirty-two floors and the complex holds two million square feet of the kind of work where a suit isn’t optional. Watch the lobby at nine and you’ll notice something: the men who look the part are not the ones with the most suits. They’re the ones whose suits fit.
Three suits, properly
A navy, a charcoal, and a third in a mid-gray or a subtle pattern. Rotated, that is a working wardrobe for a decade. Two of the three can come off our rack from the Half-Canvassed Luxury tier, $300 to $500, where the chest is a floating canvas that softens to your shape rather than going stiff.
When the rack is not enough
For a man who is between sizes, or who has a shoulder the rack never quite fits, custom starts at $599. Ben takes twenty measurements, walks you through the cloth, and the suit comes together over two to three fittings. It isn’t faster than buying off the rack. But for some shapes, it can be right in a way the rack can’t, and it is the one suit in the building that nobody else is wearing.
Roman, master tailor at Lincoln Tailor, on site in our store, keeps all three fitting as the years go. East on I-696 to the Greenfield exit, then south.
