Travel: Sitting Pretty

BY MICHAEL HASTINGS

Alan Flusser thinks dressing well is a simple art--a good wardrobe, he says, "leads the viewer up to the face, where we communicate." Yet it is an art, laments the 60-year-old New York designer, sitting in his richly decorated Fifth Avenue shop, that most men have not mastered, even after a decade of "spending more money on clothes than in our entire human history."

Dressing becomes even trickier when the man

is constantly on the road. So Flusser, along with such designers as England's Gieves & Hawkes and Italy's Ermene-gildo Zegna, has begun making suits aimed at the international traveler, whose lifestyle often requires extended time in airplane seats and hotel rooms. "We want to orchestrate a new travel wardrobe [that is] easy and doesn't wrinkle," says Flusser.

His Traveling Light and Clothes Right package includes two suits, four shirts and ties, and one blue blazer that all match and can form 48 different combinations. The suits are made from English milled, lightweight cloth that resists wrinkles. There are extra pockets for BlackBerrys and cell phones, and even an inner hidden pocket on the waistband for credit cards. All are custom-tailored at his New York shop; the complete travel wardrobe sells for $13,250, or $4,000 per suit (alanflussercustom.com ).
