THE DUCHESS COMES TO NEW YORK

Attention New Yorkers: Portland's Seyta Selter, Duchess of Form, and Lady Ellen are partners and proprietors of the made-to-measure men's haberdashery Duchess Clothier. They are coming to New York on the 11th of November and are now taking appointments at the Gershwin Hotel on November 12 & 13. I ordered my suits last week, so now it's your turn.

Duchess specializes in a wide range of vintage styles--Victorian, Edwardian, 30's classics, 60's mod, 70's glam, etc. A very wide range of cuts, vintage materials, and details are available--from the dignified and fogeyish, to the snug and sleek. And the best part? It's very affordable.

If you know anyone who might be interested, please spread the word. If they're good enough for Mr. Crispin Glover, they're certainly good enough for the likes of you!

This will be their first foray into New York. You may want to be quick about making an appointment, so drop them a line. More information on Duchess is behind the cut below, or you can simply download this pdf instead.

An additional item: Seyta and Ellen will also be attending this years' Nov. 11th meeting of the Corduroy Appreciation Club at the venerable Montauk Club in Brooklyn. I am this year's keynote speaker, pontificating on the subject of dimensional duds. Stop by and say hello. ~W
