I'm planning a trip to Europe for my 40th birthday, and am wondering which city is best for shopping for good menswear. My wife and I will only be there a week, so the whole bespoke process is out, sadly. I'd love to hear thoughts from the cognoscenti here about which city (or another I haven't considered) would present the best opportunity to buy myself a item or two not available here in the States.

Thanks!

"Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."

Wise indeed:)

I'm also interested in recommendations for specific places to patronize in these cities.

Thanks!
