That's going to be tough. Not many store fronts around here are going to sell enough leather suits to justify keeping a supply in stock.

It's nearly impossible for anyone not in a MAJOR (we're talking LA, ATL, etc) metro area to stock one of each size of each style, of each brand, knowing they'll primarily be used as "try it on's" so somebody can go buy it cheaper on Ebay.

We don't keep any suits in stock. What we do have is an accurate way to measure you for a particular suit and a solid knowledge of how each brand of suits tends to fit particular body types. I have absolutely zero trouble helping anyone find the suit they want and making sure it will fit. It is dirty pool however, to spend two hours in the shop talking, measuring, etc, only to walk out saying, "I'll think about it" then show up two weeks later with some internet special closeout suit/helmet/jacket/boots/etc.

I agree 100% I am all about helping the local businesses when they deserve it, and from everyone's raves about your shop and service ill make my way to your shop and spend my money there.

I just visited a local COMO shop and the service was non exsistant, I walked around for a good 10-15 min without anyone saying a word to me, and there were about 2-3 other customers in the store, with plenty of sales associates hanging out talking with each other. I left with my money in my pocket

I am in need of exactly what you talk to above, I need to get fitted for a suit that will fit me and my budget. I will try sometime this week to head to JC to get your help.
