ReplyDeletefantastic read all the way through. Might have to pick up this book myself.
ReplyDeleteI do find the suit too pricey for lower class American office workers to afford more than one. Unless they go bottom of the barrel with GAP and Men's Warehouse. Even when I was a kid, I would get one suit every other year before Easter Sunday from Value City. And even then my grandparents would argue about how much it costs them.
