    Hickey freeman suits

     We sell many of them, both off the rack and Made-to-Measure. I have not had any problems and with HF's new make (lighter canvas and more handwork) they perform very well. Comparing it to the 150sTaz, it is a little beefier, but that's part of "performance" fabrics. I recommend it if you do...

    A $17,000 suit? Really?

    I have sold 2 Holland & Sherry Blue Sapphire Suits and 1 Dormeuil Jade this season and several Ambassadors. I am finding that my high-end clients are pushing the boundaries of luxury and exclusiveness. Gentlemen who were buying $1,500.00 suits are now buying $2,500.00 suits, ones that wear 5K...

    David Donahue versus Ermenegildo Zegna

    I sell David Donahue shirts in our store and season after season they sell very well with many repeat customers. Very well made (China) at $135.00 and they also have a great stock program and a seasonal program with up to 37" sleeves and fantastic formal shirts. I've never experienced any...

    Hickey Freeman signs with Ralph Lauren

     It's all about the paper. Especially with today's CAD/CAM cutting, it will be basically a seamless operation. I'm excited about the new things happening at Hickey and have spoken with Granovsky to get his assurance that everything is on the right track.

    Hickey Freeman signs with Ralph Lauren

    While I have been very critical of Hickey-Freeman and their previous management(s) over the years, Granovsky has them on the right track. I believe Grano has made the investments necessary to make HF as one of the premier tailored clothing makers and I am putting my money where my mouth is as...

    Samuelsohn completes purchase of Hickey-Freeman assets

    http://www.mrketplace.com/57726/samuelsohn-completes-hickey-freeman-deal/ This move has saved HF and maybe bring them back to what they once was. A good start would be to put back some hand-work into the garment.

    MTM Suit Fit Critique

    In the trade this is called an abortion... Go to a good men's store or tailor and have a suit made, you will save money in the long run

    Bespoke, too cheap?

     This is why you go to specialty stores and established tailors to have suits made, they stand behind them. I get at least 1 "internet" suit a week in my shop to be fixed. it ends up costing them more than if they would have come to me in the first place. Oak Hall is a very fine store too...
