Brutal. But, the reality for American "middle of the road" suit manufacturers. Not high-end and not mass produced. Hard to charge "Made in USA" premium for such suits.

So did he wear a MTM HSM suit for the inauguration? I would think he would fit better in a Hickey Freeman and can easily afford an Oxxford suit.

"Established in 1872, Hartmarx makes business, casual and golf clothes for its own brands -- including Hart Schaffner Marx, Palm Beach and Racquet Club -- and has exclusive rights to market under other luxury brands -- including Tommy Hilfiger, Burberry men's tailored clothing, Ted Baker, Pierre Cardin and Perry Ellis."

God, how could they have gone bankrupt?

At least one, if not many. I'm no fan of Obama, but I always find it interesting to see what the President wears. Any idea on his brand of choice for shoes?
