First: Hello. I've been reading here extensively over the last few months, since I discovered the furum, but have only contributed a couple of random posts. I have learned quite a lot, and respect the community SF has assembled. I have always cared about style, but have only gotten serious about it in the last year or so. For better (appearance, comfort) or ill (depleted bank account) that will happen when you start shopping at Wilkes Bashford. I have been buying suits of significantly higher quality and style, but with the exception of one MTM from E. Zegna, they have all been off the rack.
So the sales guy invited me to a Brioni trunk show WB is putting on at the end of this week, and I made an appointment for Thursday afternoon. I plan to order one suit, and I want it to be the most elegant and timeless suit in my closet (thinking single-breasted, two-buuton, peak lapels). But I have never been to a trunk show before, and have no idea what to expect; frankly, it's making me a bit anxious. Can anyone whose done this before tell me how these things go and what I should anticipate? I guess a bottom line question is: Can I realistically expect significantly improved fit because I'm being measured by (I'm told) Brioni's top tailor?
