Made to measure, with the shirts and ties to go with it. Make the suit a man is married, buried and interviewed in.
A man owns one good suit, and the tailor who measures him for it keeps him for life if the second fitting goes well. The chains sell a made-to-measure suit for fifty shillings, cut in a factory and fitted in the shop, so the independent competes on cloth, cut and the time taken. Shirts, collars and ties are the small sales that pay the wages between orders.
