While there, order some custom suits made from a good tailor and, being custom, you can request construction details as desired. Good food, good conversation, photogenic city, good suit of clothes, and a vacation to boot. I suspect you could do the same in London or Milan if you prefer a different local. Who could ask for anything more? Don don.dory@gmail.com On 1/22/06, Seth Rosner <sethrosner@nycap.rr.com> wrote: > > Ugh, bad news to read. I have not bought a new suit in 15 years.
