A Collection of Sartorial Excellence, the Sixth Annual of which is slated for Friday & Saturday, February 26th and 27th, 2010, is a small, private exposition of some of the finest men's and women's clothing, furnishings, and accessories available. Over the years, Sartorial Excellence has become the focal point and annual gathering of top-quality clothing afficionados, industry insiders, many of the makers and artisans whose work is on display ... as well as friends who first met at one of the previous annual Collections.

Sartorial Excellence began as an in-person supplement to the various clothing fora at which artisans and experts could augment the ongoing online discussions with hands-on demonstrations. In an effort to enhance the educational nature of the event, the 2008 show introduced seminar-style intensives in response to many frequently discussed topics. A complete schedule of 2010 seminar subjects, times, and days will be published at Sartorial Excellence.com in mid-February.
