The last time you saw the man in your life shop with some enthusiasm, he was in the market for a stripper for his buddy’s bachelor party.

So when it’s time to get him a suit, bring the shopping to him. Matt Landsberg, the local bespoke tailor from Eric Finn Custom Clothiers, makes house calls to create gentlemen’s attire.

The charming and dapper Landsberg will show up ready and willing to talk styles (plain front or pleated), cuts (single or double breasted), fabrics (wool or cashmere), patterns (window pane or pinstripe), and a whole spectrum of colors. At a loss? He’s got lots of wisdom and advice to offer.

After decisions are made and measurements are taken, he’s off like a prom dress to work his magic with a needle and thread. In about four weeks time, lovely shirts, slacks, and suits will arrive at the doorstep.

Much like the aforementioned stripper.
