To men of good clothes sense
IT is well worth while, for you and for us, to set forth a plain statement
of the facts about ready-made clothes.
This is it. After you read it, you can do, and probably will do, just as
you please about it. But you'd better have the facts; it's foolish, and some
times dangerous to do just as you please; without having the facts.
You'll find in every city, a few custom tailors who make clothes really worth paying for. They
charge $75 to $100 for a suit; they give you the best of quality, the best of tailoring, fit, style,
These are the things you pay the extra money for. Ifjyou can afford to spend that much, go to
such a tailor and spend It. Any man who doesn't need to worry about parting with $7.5 or $100
needn't worry about what he gets for it.
But if you're going to spend less than that, spend a good deal less, wear
ready-made clothes. We know what some of you will say: "I tried ready
made once; not for me." "They do for some but I can't be fitted."
"There's no style to 'em.
In other words, you don't know the facts; and you're losing money by your ignorance.
The fact is, if you haven't tried Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes,
you don't know of the progress in making men's clothes. As lor
style, many custom tailors get their ideas from our Style Book; we
create styles, not copy them; our lowest priced suit has the same
style as our best. As for fit, there's not one man in a hundred who
cannot be perfectly fitted, from our stock of clothes, without delay
tall, short, thick, thin; men of all types we have clothes to fit them.
The hundredth man may have to wait a few days.
As for quality, the common ground of objection to ready-made clothes, we are the recognized
champions of the highest quality standard.- In the midst of a flood of adulterated fabrics, of "mer
cerized cotton" and cheaper mixtures, which has carried away nearly all the clothing makers of
the country into the making of inferior quality, so as to make inferior prices, we have stood un
shaken in a determination to use only all-wool, or wool-and-silk fabrics.
That's where we stand now; no thread of cotton in any of our H. S. & M.
Clothing; all seams sewed with silk thread, not "mercerized cotton" that looks
like silk; all "silk" linings made of silk. t
The clamor for low prices, and the very high price of wool, which have debased qua
lity for so many of our competitors, have simply strengthened our position.
We are selling clothes that in sty I fit, quality are good enough
for any man and not too high-priced for any man
You'll find it out some day, if you don't already know it.
