I’m still on a high from the amazing spring soirée the lovely designers at Duchess suits recently threw for their loyal friends and customers in Portland. The amazing clothiers of vintage-style, made-to-measure menswear are absolute artists when it comes to resurrecting the near-lost craft of custom-made suits. Seeing the normally scrappy population of Portland hipster-dudes dressed to the nines made me at once wistful for yesteryear, but also grateful that I live in a town where this brand of throwback-glamour not only exists, but is celebrated as art. Gents, you need not fret if you’re outside the 503 area code: A white summer suit jacket and blue cotton button-up shirt will do quite nicely for that upcoming wedding.
