Ready to Spree: What to expect?

I find Flusser's style a little hard to digest, but it certainly is comprehensive and he knows what he is talking about. What about that Venzanzi store? It sounds like they have some sort of POV.

If I was drawn to Vacca, which I am not, I would go to Borrelli instead as the people there are less crooked and the style is similar.

I second with the suggestion of not to limit your purchase to one store. I recommend you to spread your purchase over time. Everything you make a purchase, you'll gain more knowledge about the fit, your preference and need and that'll help with your subsequent purchases. Although you may want to stick with one salesperson at each store to establish a long-term relationship.

I would vote that you get over to Paul Stuart--your money would go farther, the quality is excellent, and they have "coordinators" to put it all together. And some sweet, interesting shoes as well. Have at it!

There's always someone in a store ready to help you spend your money. Do they even know what the **** they're talking about is the question you need to be asking yourself, and if you're not sure, then you're a prime target to get royally screwed.

Ain't that the truth.

Now there's a good suggestion. I would love to blow $20,000 in that store.

I suggest Jay Kos. Maybe they will be nice to you.

ok, i guess i can get behind the idea of splitting it up. i would say in my opinion, your best option is Saks for suits and at least one pair of edward green or lobb shoes (personal shopper a must; don't refuse this opportunity to enjoy that). Paul stuart for classic sportswear (sweaters, a sportcoat or two, and their shoes are very nice, as well. ensure you pick up ress socks, braces, double sided cufflinks here too). put a LITTLE bit aside for some jeans at barneys coop, ties at barneys mens floor, or you can get a few with your suits at saks. only other thing i thought about was golden fleece made to measure at brooks brothers-- how about one of those, maybe a classic navy blue 2 button suit?

done!

keep in mind-- don't try to stretch your money too far, and get lesser quality items. you have one big chance to get quality items at once, don't skimp and regret it later.
