Note: Suit 101 is a series dedicated on the finer side of menswear. Last week, we spoke of the suit as if there exists only one kind of suit.

Falling oil prices, the devaluing rouble, whispers about a Chinese credit crisis, and the possibility that Germany will fall into recession along with the rest of the Europe, paint a bleak new year.

It never fails, every Friday after Thanksgiving, storms of people full of turkey flock to department stores all over the United States in efforts to find the best bargains Due to the economic downturn in the US economy, Black Friday sales have been declining, although due to slumping oil prices and larger discount incentives sales should have improved.

The new “Grey Thursday” (Pre-Black Friday teaser sales) and the race to offer the largest and earliest deep discount has given customers the ability to shop earlier.
