Dialogue 1
Morgan: I'd like to look at a dark business suit, the kind that never goes out of style. Something in wool, I guess.
Clerk: Right this way. We have some excellent pure wool suits. Wool has the best of everything more comfort, more quality, more value. But as to style, I think you should realize that even the most conservative styles still change. The width of lapels changes, the number of buttons in front and on sleeves changes, even the number of pockets changes.
Morgan: I'm sure you're right. It's just that I dread the idea of buying a new suit every year.
Clerk: Well, the changes are usually not dramatic. What do you think of this?
Morgan: That's a bit too formal for me. I'd like a dark gray, or navy blue, or this one with a faint pinstripe?
Clerk: Black might be too solemn for someone your age. Here, try this three-piece gray worsted. Worsted suits are nice and warm. ... That looks almost tailor-made for you.
Morgan: It's just what I wanted. Now let me look at some accessories. I'll need a tie to go with this new suit, and also a shirt and a belt.
