Apparel Is Cut Above at Cut-Rate Prices

We are hard-pressed these days to find quality men’s apparel at reasonable prices. One of the few choices is Roger Stuart, a manufacturer and retailer in Los Angeles.

Although shoppers may find other labels on the racks, the better garments are made by Stuart, using some of the world’s finest fabrics and sold to men’s stores across the country.

For a suit made of these fabrics, customers usually would pay more than $1,500, but the price here is $449.

The store carries a wide range of sizes from extra short 35-42 to extra long 42-56.

For those who need a tuxedo for the holidays, they make a quality Italian wool for $269 that would compare to at least $850 elsewhere.

For gifts, we like their “soft sport coat” that feels like a sweater but looks like a sport coat.

Zegna and Armani sell these for $495 and up, but Stuart’s price is $169 to $199.

There also are some great deals on sweaters and shirts.

The silk T-shirts that specialty shops sell for $115 are $39.95.

This is not a place to buy a cheap suit but rather a place to buy an expensive suit at a discounted price.

Roger Stuart Clothes, 729 S. Los Angeles St., Los Angeles. (213) 627-9661.
