Recession's Alterations

Rolling back its prices "to levels from earlier in the decade," atelier Seize Sur Vingt is now charging $280 for most custom shirts, $150-$180 for most long-sleeves, while -- at its more casual boutique-cum-vintage car refuge Groupe -- $108 for Troglodyte short-sleeves, and tailored shorts for $130. It's not entirely clearly whether this is a limited time offer, or a permanent adjustment.
