Simply put… ‘a gentleman needs a master’ – tailor and friend.
I have the good fortune to live in Chicago where custom tailors abound… however, there is no one on Michigan Avenue, in New York or in Los Angeles who begins to compare with the elegance, brilliance and unmatched style provided by Lee’s custom tailoring. I’m so proud to call Jin a friend.
I’m delighted that over the years, so many figures I’ve worked with in sports and business have discovered the magnificent suits and furnishings that Jin provides. THE LOYALTY OF JIN’S CUSTOMERS IS UNMATCHED.’
For example, recently at the united center in Chicago, I ran into Billy Knight, the ex-Pacer, and current general manager of the Atlanta Hawks. Naturally, you’d think we spent 45 minutes talking trade rumors, player moves, the draft and other NBA related topics.
Guess again. No kidding… Billy and I sat and compared notes about the Jin Lee suits we were both wearing. ’Smooth’ was knocked out by the contour of my suits from shoulder to foot and how Jin was able to take a full bodied guy like myself and create the kind of angular look that someone who weighs 270 pounds absolutely craves. I’ve always maintained that Jin’s greatest gift is his recognition of translating what people say they want into what they truly want. I told billy that the three-piece suit he was wearing reminded me of when he was a silky smooth 215 pound small forward playing for slick’ Leonard. In other words, he had the ‘ultra power’ look that a man in his position is required to have.
I could tell stories for hours about Jin’s global reputation as one of less than 300 ‘master tailors.’ I could tell you the kick I get when lee’s suits arrive at my home up north. But, there’s no need. I appreciate affordable quality. I appreciate 24 carat gold service. But, most of all, I appreciate Jin Lee — the man, the tailor, the master. The man who takes 270 pounds of aged beef and creates a dressed statement of confidence and readiness.
You know what… Jin is to suits what Mickey Mantle was to baseball. Quite simply, the consummate pro’s pro.
