While I haven't used Garrison personally, owing to some personal loyalty to another century old family one here, most of the other people I know who get suits made here use them, and I have watched their story evolve. By adaptating and actually growing their own market, I think they have preserved the traditions of their craft better than anyone else, by keeping them viable while maintaining their standards.
The armour is a gimmick to me, as the whole symbology of a suit is that it represents establishment membership where other than the occasaional regicide, getting shot just isn't a thing - unless you are a politician or some other kind of criminal with airs.
- generalizations 4y agoSince they don't mention any actual specifics on the class of protection afforded by the body armor, it definitely looks like a gimmick to me.
