So, what did you wind up with? Something between the Haggar wash-n-wear and the Brioni, I presume?
Happened to me, too. I went in, told the man what I wanted to spend, and what size I wanted, and he said, "here's the suit." And sure enough, it was my size, my price range, and absolutely beautiful. I didn't buy any of the $150 shirts, though.
So, what is the name of this mystery shop?
Right, James: I bought a Ravazollo that was on sale (ha!) for $1425.
Wish I could say where, but anonymity and all...
