Be the Model for
Your Own Clothes!
Rarely does a man w ho wears
ready-made clothing look right
in it. It was not made for him,
and no matter how well it may
apparently fit, the fact remains
that when the suit “settles” and
loses its ironed false form, it
will cave in here, bag there and
wrinkle somewhere else.
