After I got my new job which requires me to wear better suits, I decided to tear up my Hickey Freeman Canterbury. I really liked this suit, had a great 4 season fabric (wool, cashmere, mink) in a super light weight. It's the mainline for Nordstrom If you want photos of specific parts of the suit, just tell me. I did this for SF'ers to study the construction. And for fun.

No job requires bespoke suits. He just wants to show how American Psycho he is by tearing up his wool, cashmere & mink Hickey.

So you've got just three weeks to have all those bespoke suits made that your to-be-announced job requires?

Does this mean you'll stop wearing those awful homemade bracelets and rings?

And I missed the part where I call you a douchebag for ripping that up instead of selling it to someone who could use it.

Why not just light up a $100 bill?

In the first photo the suit is a pinstripe. In the others its a check. Bad photo or more weirdness?
