Best If You Want to Step It Up
Talk about painless: It takes 30 seconds for Alton
Lane’s state-of-the-art body scanner to capture measurements and
a 3-D image of a man’s figure. Picking suit and shirt fabrics may seem
hard by comparison. Visit altonlane.com to book an appointment at its
Dupont Circle showroom.
