Suitable


DannyBoy Getting Fitted at TeddyBoy

Daniel knows several people who got suits from TeddyBoy, a men's clothing shop on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.  Dan, Natalie, Mark and I went to the shop to buy a suit for Dan to wear at his wedding in September.  It was unlike any place I've ever been.  Basically they asked when the wedding was and how much we wanted to spend.  They gave us a small book of fabric swatches to choose from.  Dan gave them some idea of what he wanted.  They took measurements.  And we paid cash up front for the suit, sight unseen.  I was hoping we could see a sample, or at least sketch, but they make the suits individually.  Dan will have several more fittings.  This seemed like a very "New York" moment -- buying a suit based on a 4x4" square of fabric!
