Im not sure if anybody knows Sr. David, but it was a boutique in new york that was in the plaza, and on madison avenue. They had great suits, and my father had two of them; they are gorgeous.

However, my father, also being small, told me something. The tailor at Sr. David was able to deconstruct a suit basically, and cut it, take it in, shorten it, and all so that its character and quality wouldnt be compromised when it was done. Does anybody know of this tailor, or what happened to Sr. David? Or better, does anybody know of a tailor that can still do this type of work in NYC?

I vaguely remember Sir David. Were they on Madison Ave in the 50s 60s, streets not years?

What a coincidence, I was just watching Wall Street.
