Did anyone notice The President's suitmakers have filed for bankruptcy?

This is terrible news...

...I have one of their suits, made in 1939. Does this mean that they won't honour their warranty anymore?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I used to own a suit of theirs. Very nice quality. I still have an extremely old odd jacket of theirs. Alas too big for me.

Baron,

Do you know anyone old and odd that it might suit?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I dunno. I have an old and rather odd pile accumulating …

Early 20s SBPL suit jacket - rounded peaks, long flared skirt etc. I think i'm remembering aright that it's HSM. Must dig it out again.

I also have a 1940s HSF odd jacket with stripes that fits me perfectly.
