JACKET GOOD, PRICE NOT-SO-GOOD

I wanted to buy the same type of tuxedo jacket Daniel Craig wore in Spectre. When I found out it costs over $2600 I changed my mind.

That's why you shop around and find something of similar style that's available cheaper.

That's what I eventually did.

It's actually what is called a dinner jacket, not a tuxedo jacket. I hope you have it tailored to you. The secret of dressing well is the tailoring.

And don't spill anything on your new white jacket!

That's what the dry cleaners are for.

Ken, I've had dinner jackets. Dry cleaning doesn't always get the Chateau Lafitte out!

Well, one of the advantages of a consumer society is you can always buy another.

If you have several hundred bucks to throw around.

If you have a good suitmaker in your city you can get one made that will fitt you perfectly...

I have all of my suits and sport coats tailor made..

Yes, and a tailor-made suit often costs no more than a suit off the rack in a place like Arman (the real Armani, not Armani Express), Brooks Brothers and Barney's. And it will last longer.
