Go from Rags to Riches in your new RubyThreads Suit!

Now I dress like this!!

I used to dress like this!

Gone are the days when the bartender offers service to the person standing directly behind me as I squeeze up to the bar for a drink – his eyes just a degree out of alignment with mine.  Mothers no longer pull their toddlers near as I pass them by in the grocery aisle, shielding them from my disheveled aura.

Since sporting my new look I’ve had library fines waived and traffic cops give me the right-o-way.  I asked a man for the time and he gave me his watch.  You see…wearing a suit makes you feel differently, the kind of differently that makes you go forth with more confidence.  This confident behavior feels good – and looks good on anyone – a shine of self-purpose glows about the well-dressed.  And when you feel and look good, life is good.  Wise men know:   life is better when you’re in a suit.

In an effort to bring the threads closer to you, and you closer to the threads, Dan and Melissa will be hosting several Suit Soirees! These poly-occasional events are usually planned for winter – during January and February. We plan on visiting Portland, Seattle and Port Townsend. Can’t make a Suit Soiree but still want a suit?, contact us about how to get your measurements done and we can discuss your style over the phone. Suit Soirees consist of Dan bringing several of his fly suits that he’s had made in years past. Melissa brings her wool coat collection for women. Seeing their threads gives a good idea of the different cuts and materials available for order. RubyThreads Suits specializes in formal or funky. Dan and Melissa will be equipped with order forms and measuring tapes to get the ball rolling on your new set of fine threads. Half down’s all that’s necessary to get your order underway. Visa/MC and Discover are accepted to enable purchasing ease.

Suit Soiree! invitations are sent to our friends and other hip folks we know that would appreciate a nice-fitting suit. In an effort to give every attendee our full attention, we’ll be scheduling sizing times throughout the events, so let us know a good time for you, or you and your group and we’ll schedule you for optimal service attentiveness. If you’re reading this now and ARE NOT on our contact list, go send us an email NOW to RubyThreads@yahoo.com. Being on the list means we can let you know when and where the Suit Soirees are!

Know someone else that could use a suit?, be sure and forward our info along to them. Guys’ partners are encouraged to attend and help their fella order the perfect suit.Women’s coats are a sub-specialty of RubyThreads, so we’ll be displaying several nice wool coats in varying lengths, several with custom silk linings with folding cuffs to reveal the silk when folded back…super nice.
