Sorry, nope, not going with any one of the top 3. I'm going to fill my closet with BOSS, all BOSS. Every comfort fit cut from the outlet.

All I wanted was a few recommendations from the members, but all I got was crickets. So I'm going to punish the members by purchasing lots of BOSS at full price from the outlet.

Good plan. Best of luck.

If that is your idea of a well-fitting suit, even for leisure, good luck to you, any rag manufacturer would have something to suit you.
