Seth,

What you want is a fine Italian fabric (still the best in the world IMHO) 
from a good English or Italian tailor. I used to purchase 3 to 4 suits a 
year to wear 5 days a week. Then things started to get more casual in the 
oil patch here in Calgary and I only need to buy 2 suits a year to wear for 
meetings with clients and government staff (I am very, very, hard on 
clothing and shoes).

The Calgary business herd is now moving back into the formal look five days 
a week, so I'm now buying more suits again. In Canada, you could get English 
and Italian tailoring with Warren K. Cook and Lou Miles made suits. Now Cook 
has been purchased by Copley and Lou Miles is herd to find outside of 
Montreal. So now I'm buying from Italian maker Trunk Shows (when possible).

Now how about men's shoes?

Regards,

Greg
