“Hugh’s Obses­sion of The Day” is figu­ring out how to sell bes­poke suits in Mos­cow.
We just want to turn up, stay at a nice hotel, mea­sure up a few clients, do some buis­ness… and keep doing it on a regu­lar basis, just like we do in New York.
We simply don’t know anyone there. That needs to change.
I’m trying to get the word out: If anyone knows any inte­res­ting folk in Mos­cow who might be able to help English Cut, please drop me a line. Thanks.

    A thought. Why don’t you bud­get 3 suits to give away – make sure they go to “influen­cers” then let them refer you to their pals.
    I know, you’re saying “What! Gie three suits away?! Are you nuts?”
    Con­si­der it mar­ke­ting. Remem­ber Emer­son (Ralph Waldo) when he said “you can’t give it away without it coming back.”
    Good luck.

    Oh, that is pretty com­mon in the trade, in fact, you could call it the norm.
    Every last stitch of clothing– dress or suit– on the red car­pet of any movie pre­mier will have been given out as a freebie.
