Indeed the “Mark of Distinction” that separates you from the rest is custom clothes. Everyone knows I’m a huge fan of Ralph Lauren which is why I’m upset that I just stumbled across this. The Made to Measure option was launched in Spring of 2009 in certain locations across the world.
Ralph Lauren offers the opportunity to get custom shirts, suits, and even footwear with their name attached to it, of course. Ralph Lauren is known for quality American clothing. So to have a custom piece created by them would set you apart. Now we are in a time of a recession so don’t go out and buy a 1K+ suit just because. Another resort is to buy a Ralph Lauren suit and get it tailored to fit you the way you want.
The art of tailoring is very old. However, getting a suit, shirt or trouser tailored by an inexperienced tailor can cost you much pain. When selecting your tailor be sure to check out their previous work and their longevity.
