My New Suit
My wife bought me a new suit for Christmas. One of my old suits developed a hole a few days ago. My father-in-law suggested a store named Cambridge Members, which he had heard offered high quaility off-the-rack suits at an affordable price. My sister-in-law, who seems to know a lot about these things, seconded her father's opinion.
Boy, were they right! It was by far the best suit-buying experience that I have had thus far in Korea (I've bought at least six suits here). The store was not staffed by clueless shop-girls or moussed-up pretty-boys, but by middle-aged gentlemen who knew their business. I've always been impressed by people who know their profession and carry it out well.
(One of the things I love about Korea is that it is still normal to wear a suit. No one asks you, "Got a job interview?" or "Who died?")
Cambridge Members is a chain with branches throughout Korea. It was founded in Seoul in 1966. They are currently having a 70% sale. I highly recommend the store to anyone living in Korea in need of a suit.
Here's a very useful LewRockwell.com article: How To Dress Like a Man. [Note: I'm very lucky in the shoe department: my brother-in-law is an ex-ROK Marine who gets me free marine dress shoes!]
And no, I was not paid by Cambridge Members for this post. It is a public service announcement, encouraging readers in Korea to, in the words of the author of the above article, "do [their] part to save civilization."

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
