However, it would also be a good thing if. every man bought his suit or overcoat with a view to how it is likely to look that day three months. The appearance of a suit or of an overcoat after three months of wear depends upon two things the fabric and the making. Poor fabrics and poor tailoring will not stand the supreme test, the test of service. Good fabrics and good tailoring will. The fabrics used in Wanamaker suits and overcoats are the best woolens to be found in any suits or overcoats offered in this country at the same prices. The tailoring in Wanamaker men's clothing is of the finest kind known in the ready-to-wear clothing business.
