Why Here Is Better Than There. (Reason #33)
If M. Lang Executive Attire were like other men's retailers, you'd expect here to be like there.
There is a "wearhouse." Where dust gathers. Linoleum yellows. Where styles hearken from Pabst Blue Ribbon days. Where selection is poor (unless you are of freakish proportions.) Where Rusty, your salesman, is dressed in an obnoxious plaid and grimaces half-in-the-bag self-satisfaction like Kramer's jackass friends on Seinfeld. Where prices are too high for last year's fashions.
In philosophy, as well as style,
here is entirely different from there. And that is why it is so successful.
In these moronic times, M. Lang exemplifies sensibility. Where 100% wool three-button suits are priced with a value-based formula. Where salespeople are truly helpful. And where computerized wardrobe tracking and on-site tailoring make your buying experience more
convenient.
Here's the truth: here is better than there.
M. Lang Executive Attire. You Know You Could Look Better.
