First, I had a nice - not extravagant - suite of Paul Stuart suits when I moved to Saratoga Springs from New York City. Second, I am expected to wear business suits only rarely so there is very little wear. Third, P.S. clothing was very high quality. It is bad news as my girth has grown slightly (!) and the trousers have already been let out the limit. Where shall I now find a quality suit? Your down-in-the-dumps friend.
