EVENING DRESS

To the well-dressed man Dress clothes admit of no compromise whatsoever, they must be exactly right-or be utterly condemned-and on occasions where Dress clothes are worn he is both more critical and more subject to criticism:

Our stock of Evening Dress Wear is such as is now being worn in London; every item, in finish in fit and in comfort, will comply with your own exactingly high standard of what is correct for you, for here as nowhere else, the needs of the particular man are closely and intelligently studied.
