This year, they’re adding shopping tours for a few, good gentleman. We asked the professional shoppers for a little guidance on their favorite bespoke men’s tailors:

DUNCAN QUINN. “The only rule is: there are no rules. With bespoke, each piece is for an individual person with unique needs from the piece,” declares Duncan Quinn, perhaps the best known bespoke tailor in New York City. DQ combines the sartorial splendor of Saville Row and energetic color (midnight blue with fuschia, grey with purple). His shop also sports a fine collection of cuff links, oversized Fleur de Lys ties, and hand made umbrellas.

Duncan Quinn, 8 Spring Street (near Elizabeth Street), (212) 226-7030, duncanquinn.com

HISHAM OUMLIL. Recently nominated for Fashion Group International’s Rising Star Awards, Hisham Oumlil is a name that’s buzzing in menswear circles. “We don’t sell clothing as a necessity, we approach it as an art and Hisham Oumlil handles all aspects of the process from fittings to production to ensure the true tradition of bespoke,” explains Hisham. André Balazs and Jude Law, both long-time clients, agree.

Hisham Oumlil, 257 West 39th Street (inside Beckenstein Men’s Fabrics), (near 8th Ave), (212) 730-0720, oumlil.com

Heck, you’ve even scored a referral to A Small World.

So what’s next for the digital A-Lister that you are? How about virtual exclusivity and hobnobbing - how about DiamondLounge.com. Think of Diamond Lounge as a social networking site for business and pleasure.

Sure you’ll have to apply and tell them how devilishly handsome (or incredibly cute), smart, successful, and altruistic you are. But once you’re in, it’s time for socializing and strategizing. Start by creating your “Lounge” profile for mixing with fellow beautiful people. Don’t worry, you can filter out not so pretty people (say Vinod, the Venture Capitalist) from seeing your profile. On the business side, you’ll supply vitals, such as industry and job title, for schmoozing in the “Boardroom”.

And what good is a high-end social network if you can’t show your new friends some largesse.

Well, Diamond Lounge has got that down too. Except in DL, the gifts aren’t cupcake or teddy bear icons à la Facebook, they’re real icons of status, like real Gucci bags and tickets to St. Tropez.

Talk about friends with benefits.

Whoever said money can’t buy happiness never had the chance to pony up for Hugh Hefner’s lifestyle.

With Playboy Passport, the company’s new members-only concierge service, a $10,000 annual membership buys the ultimate in luxury and service for a Hef-like lifestyle.

Aside from letting you go behind-the-scenes at shoots and attend events at the Playboy Mansion (and the mag’s parties across the country) the Passport offers practical luxury for the jet set: private jet and yacht services, discounted car rentals, automatic upgrades at hotels, spas, and resorts.

The 24-hour service also extends to dining and nightlife benefits, including a personal assistant/shopper.

Plus the Passport boosts your status, allowing you to breeze into club openings, private sales, galas, premieres, and big sports events.

But as playboys Jamie Foxx and Wilmer Valderrama jump on board, the memberships – limited to 1,000 – are going fast.

Think of it as a travel investment.

With a bunny bonus.

The ladies of INsider New York fit that bill. They’re disguised as personal concierges, but they’re more like professional life consultants…that care.

When you enlist INsider’s services, the company will extract your every detail to personally tailor their services to you and pair you with the right account manager.

But, they won’t just call you back when you need something: they’ll also contact you about events that suit your interests, and give you a head’s up before it’s your girlfriend’s birthday to help plan something special. (They’ve got a knack for special event planning.)

Sure, they can book you into a coveted restaurant at a moment’s notice, or get you past the most vicious nightclub door in town. But, because these pros count celebrities and professional athletes as clients, that’s simply child’s play.

Need to be bailed out of jail? Want to know where to buy cream cheese at 3 a.m.? Too swamped to plan every deluxe detail of your Montreal bachelor party?

As long as it’s legal, INsider can make it happen.

Time to splurge and dress like the boss.

Enter Liste Rouge.

You formerly had to travel to Paris for the French outfitter’s exquisite, bespoke dress shirts but a satellite New York showroom means you can score the goods in the ‘States.

Begin with a fitting in their Midtown office. Or, if you have experience measuring yourself, enter your digits into their website and select from over 200 luxurious fabric swatches and a combination of different collars, cuffs, and monograms.

From there, the label’s esteemed tailors in Normandy create a “test shirt” that’s mailed to you within four weeks. If it’s up to par, give them the green light to proceed and you’ll receive your very own custom, genuine article.

A computer keeps your measurements and orders on file, so when you want more (and you will), reordering will be a cinch.

Available by apppointment, only.
274 Madison Avenue (between 39th and 40th Streets), Floor 18

Located in a sun-drenched Flatiron loft, the personal training only facility has a wealth of professional athletic equipment in its 10,000 square feet that you won’t find elsewhere in town.

The room has been designed with the client’s comfort in mind, so you’ll feel like you have the whole gym to yourself as you’re sculpted into the next Men’s Health cover model.
