I thought this article on bespoke suit might interest other LL members. It appeared twenty one years ago in the New York Magazine (15. February 1988).

WOW THANK YOU Marcelo:

What a flash back in time. I was in the second grade at the time and remember the sights and sound of the 1980s very well. I miss the 80s very much but not the Armani style of course.

This is a great example of how a classically styled bespoke suit can take one from 1988 to 2009 and beyond. I you look at the suits in the article compared to the ads and other stories throughout the magazine you'll see what I mean.

Thank you again Marcelo.

Best Regards,
