What happened since mid-November that prompted you to post about this today?

With all due respect, perhaps you should not have been such an enthusiastic advocate of Mr. Hill prior to his actually delivering the ordered goods to you: I quote from your post of 8/31/2009: (http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/f...ill-Experience!) The Scott Hill Experience! I just had a most unusual clothing experience. I hate to use the word ultimate, but this is as close as you can get! I had the privilege of having legendary retailer Scott Hill come to my home and bring an entire men's clothing store! Scott is unveiling a new business that I think is unique and incredible benefit to gentlemen everywhere. Scott comes to your home or office and you experience the benefit of his experience, contacts with the highest quality Neapolitan clothing and shoe sources available. And that's only one of the unique aspects - Scott brings samples of suits, fabrics, shirts, buttons, shoes, belts and his expertise in fitting you and an amazing ability to coordinate it all just for you. No tailor can provide the complete look like Scott does. Again it's the highest quality and is priced such but Scott can provide these brands at a price much lower than you would pay in stores plus you get Scott's experience in fitting you perfectly. This is such a different way of doing business that I've devoted a page about my experience and what Scott Hill can do for you: http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/F...Experience.htm Mr. Hill's behavior is of course inexcusable, beyond the pale, and, by all appearances, criminal. However, perhaps you can educate us as to the agreement you had with him in terms of your business relationship? I presume he offered you a substantial discount from his 'list' price? You no doubt wanted him to advertise on your site? While I appreciate your airing of Mr. Hill's failure to deliver promised (and paid for) goods, I think you may also be at fault for your seeming lack of transparency in dealing with and promoting vendors.

I remember Scott from when he was the buyer for Ron Ross.

Folks, Let's cut to the chase here. I am the guy who wrote an earlier post about Scott Hill cheating me. Back in August last year he came to my office, with the usual assortment of clothing swatches, and I paid him by check ~$700 for a bespoke shirt and sweater that was to be delivered within 4 - 6 weeks. He assured me of that. Now, one can question my simple mindedness in trusting this guy, but that's my nature. Sorry about that. But that does not excuse the fact that he lied to me and has never delivered my goods, despite repeated requests from me. He long ago stopped responding to my emails. Nor does he answer his phone.
Bottom Line: First: Don't do business with this person. He's a crook. Second: Don't do business with anyone unless they have a bricks and mortar business that isn't going to disappear with your money.
All clear now ??

Well, the report was accurate in one respect. His service is "legendary."

Right, maybe should have withheld at least a couple of those exclamation marks until seeing some delivered product. Or somethin'.

I don't think anyone here is disputing your (or Andy's) account of Scott Hill's service.

Is he the modern version of a door to door salesman?
