In 1996 I was buying a dinner suit for my wedding . The guy showed my wife to be and I a cheaper suit then a Hugo Boss without mentioning price . Of course we went for the Boss which I still wear( although am thinking of an Anthony Sinclair in midnight blue).
My 17 year old son needs his first dinner suit . The same guy still sells suits albeit no bricks and mortar.
He came round with a couple of options the poly suit package ( suit shirt tie ) $270 we thought a good deal then showed us the wool with satin lapel $650 history repeated we went for that!

Funny you should mention that, I recently bought a pre-loved black Brooks Bros dinner jacket for the mere fact that I wanted to complete my suit collection. It was handmade and tailored for a BB client back in '85 and the measurements are spot-on with a bit of drape on the chest area. Downside was that I need to get matching trousers for it and it has a single fish-mouth vent on the back of it. It has satin faced shawl lapels with a welt breast pocket and (oddly) welt side pockets which I found to be quite adventurous for such a jacket and the standard spaced two button cuffs, as per usual with BB of this era.
I'll need to alter the cuffs, which are a tiny bit too short. Fortunately it has the material to do so. I was eyeing a DJ and trousers from BB on eBay and a seller was kind enough to allow me to purchase the trousers separately. They have an adjustable waist which will go well with a QoS Bond look. When I go to alter the cuffs, I am toying with the idea of installing turnback cuffs on the end of the sleeves like on the Dr No/QoS/tMwtGG dinner jackets, respectively.

out that he has both the web cam and mic on his laptop taped over.
Speculation is that Facebook is spying on its users ?

That was many moons ago, I remember.
It means that everyone is spied on and he believes that (I do too, the evidence on that is outstanding)
Dislike being spied on and I need to get a cam slider but until then I have a "snitch" application that tells me whether or not my mic or videocam is used on my MacBook (and not just when the light turns on).
Don't know why they even bother with these things on MacBooks. The fan drowns the mic out and the camera's not great...at all but I haven't played with any of the recent ones (mine's a mid 2012, non-retina).
Another reason, why I loathe and don't use Facebook:
Turns out that in 2014, a company called Cambridge Analytica issued an app called thisisyourdigitallife.
Users of this app allowed the company to access their Facebook account and gather many highly personal data for a personality analysis*
270.000 users gave their go.
What they did not know, thisisyourdigitallife went thru their Facebook contacts and sniffed those people out in the same way.
That way, one thisisyourdigitallife user in average gathered data from 300 more FB users.

I was at work yesterday for a long time, around 13 hours. My new phone is a
Samsung S10. I used it a lot ( to kill time, you don't expect me to work do you ?)
When I got home, I still had 60% power left, I was very impressed.
As a tip for anyone, I had a problem when watching movies on the S10 from Google
play movies. As I couldn't get them to go full screen, they's stop at the camera notch.
Luckily I discovered that if you watch your purchases on YouTube, you can then watch
them Full Screen.

Not so much new Tech but a very useful item, I got from Amazon.
It's a desk lamp with a built in wireless charger in the base. It's
so convenient to just place my phone on it, as I post my extremely
intellectual and thought provoking thoughts on line.

Later on, Steve Bannon with the help of the Mercer Family bought and used these data for the Trump campaign and for his war against american society.
