From Fort Street and Dix-Toledo, the freeway network carries Southgate north to Greenfield Road. It is one of the longer journeys anyone makes to us, and a shop asking for a trip like that owes an honest answer about who it is worth making for.
Who it is genuinely worth it for
Anyone tall, anyone broad, anyone whose chest and waist sit far apart, and anyone who has spent years being told his size can be ordered in. For those men, a floor holding 32,000 suits across the full range changes the experience entirely.
Who should probably shop closer
A man who takes a 40 regular and wants a single suit for a single event. Everything that makes this trip worthwhile is aimed at people the rack usually fails, and he is not one of them. Saying so costs us a sale and saves him a morning.
If you are making the trip
Bring the shoes and the shirt, and don’t wait to be asked about the date. Roman, master tailor at Lincoln Tailor, on site in our store, will say what today can hold: the smallest work frequently before you go, and for anything larger he quotes the job and confirms the completion date before he starts.
