(FORTUNE Magazine) – Dunhill Tailors in New York City is advertising custom-tailored suits starting at $1,925. A bit steep? Consider what else that much can buy today: One month's rent on (a) a one-bedroom apartment east of New York's fashionable Park Avenue (''But not too far east,'' says a real estate broker), (b) a spacious two-bedroom apartment on Chicago's Gold Coast that includes a great view of Lake Michigan and access to an indoor pool and garage, or (c) a two- bedroom, unfurnished Beverly Hills unit that a real estate agent says ''would be an apartment but not a home.'' A business-class -- not first-class -- roundtrip airline ticket on Air France from New York to Paris. A 1978 Chevrolet Impala with 62,000 miles on the odometer. A case of Haut-Brion 1970, a red Bordeaux. Fourteen shares of IBM stock. ^ A 35-horsepower Mercury outboard engine or an 18-foot aluminum boat for duck hunting. Two Orvis bamboo fly rods.
