Cad & the Dandy
Raffles Boston
In the market for some sharp new office attire? Every other month, this tailoring house from London’s Savile Row travels across the pond for a trunk show at Raffles Boston. During the initial consultation, fabric and style selections are made, and measurements are taken. Fittings take place the next time the team is back in Boston, and after any necessary alterations are made, a final try-on ensures a perfect finished product for its proud new owner.
