They've taken a real interest in my "special need." They make a complete line of "fire plug" suits, sport coats, top coats and, even, formal wear in a wide range of fabrics. So, I go to the fourth floor (the Big and Tall department) at Boyd's in Philadelphia to buy the uniforms I must wear in my profession. Boyd's cares about me and my special needs. They've provided me with a salesperson named Tony Sangantini who doesn't smirk when he sees me coming. Tony has never once said, "Harris, if you'd lose about 50 lbs., then you could buy suits in our "regular" department." Tony has a special sidekick, Nick (almost every tailor I ever met is named Nick), who fits and alters the clothing I buy. Boyd's and Burberry could conspire to raise the prices but I'd keep on buying.
