Bespoke Gold

February 24, 2015 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

Marc Streisand of Marc Allen Inc.

You should be able to buy a fine suit with an ounce of gold. Good luck with that at Marc Allen.

Over the years I’ve been fortunate to work with Marc Streisand, owner of Marc Allen fine clothiers in Providence, RI.

Marc travels the world-over in search of hard to find fabrics and crafts bespoke suits that are truly made for you. The suit is literally pieced together to fit you and the touch of the fabric between your fingers makes you smile.

But an ounce of gold will not get you near a Marc Allen suit, or even a Hickey Freeman for that matter. So if you’re in the market for a fine suit go see my friend Marc—and if you want to protect your assets then pick-up a few ounces of gold.
