You can't get a suit under $275 and you pay $1,000 for a suit made of expensive Vicuna.

Charlie Chaplin imported Men jou to Movietown in 1925 and hustled him right over to Schmidt's. Risk Paid Off "Menjou said he had no money and asked if we'd take a chance and give him six suits on the cuff so he could get acting jobs," the tailor says. Since then Menjou has bought more than $100,000 worth of clothes at Schmidt's. In the mid 308, Menjou gained a few pounds and had to give 300 of his suits jway. Within the next two years, he bought another 200 larger size models from Schmidt's Customer Reorders But even the dapper actor can't top the Texan who dropped into the shop last year with an $11, 000 order. This year the oil man gained 15 pounds. He imme diately flew into town to order another $15,000 worth of sar torial splendor. "But he wears them with cowboy bopts, a dia mond tie stickpin and cigars in his pocket," shudders Schmidt. "That's like a Cadillac body with a model-T motor. We now make it imperative for our cus tomers to follow our advice for their accessories."
