Bill Brewer Likes Him Some Fancy Suits

On the back page of the Personal Journal section today, there appears a story headlined “Inside a Bastion of Old-School Power Attire.” The story is about how the recession is making even junior lawyers rethink their corporate casual attire. Really, though, the piece reads like a Match.com ad for Brewer and how handsome he his, how shiny his shoes are, etc. So good on Brewer’s PR man. He earned his keep. But to Christina Binkley, author of the story, I’d say, Don’t you think it would have been fair to mention how the formal-dress culture at Bickel & Brewer has affected the firm’s billings? And how do Brewer’s suits (the bespoke kind) perform for his clients in the courtroom? IJS.
