Some things are quite plainly obvious and need no comment.

Now you sound like Niles Crane.

Love your avatar though.

The shop feels the need to differentiate between which suits are and are not made of 100% wool.

I must take issue with one item in the OP, about salesmen in badly tailored suits. I've been in men's stores, as well as the men's dept. at high end dept. stores and have seen sales people in suits that just don't fit. I can usually tell that they are fairly nice suits, but they just weren't tailored properly.

The salesman is wearing both a belt and suspenders.

Pre-cut buttonholes in all the suits.

B+(insert fake italian)+i = bad menswear.

How bout C+(insert fake italian, eg, "_arlo Franc_")+o. Also works well.
