I used to shop at Mario's a lot more than I do today. I still like to get a leather jacket there every other season. I started buying custom suits and shirts from 'My Haberdasher' a couple years ago and frankly I'd rather see my name in my suits than the designer's, especially if the fabric is coming from the same place. Mario's does have great shoes you won't find anywhere else. The price is a little high compared to my custom guy, Jeff Collins, so I probably give him about 80% of my business. Besides I always complain about parking at Mario's so why shouldn't I have my guy come to me. The trunk shows a Mario's are still fun to attend though.
Pros: Fun to shop there and browse
Cons: Parking, having to get things altered
