Remember when 50 people repelled down the side of theWit at State and Randolph? It was called The Skyline Plunge and it was near a month ago but we just found out what the best dressed man was wearing. Clothing consultant Nick Saule (also a model) went over the edge in a custom tux by Balani Custom on Monroe.

And the family-owned company, Balani was there to support Nick as he embraced his inner James Bond (happy belated James Bond Day) and took The Skyline Plunge, which raised $71,000 to benefit the Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago. To capture every exhilarating moment of Chicago's only urban repelling adventure down 27 stories above the Loop, he accessorized his tux with a bowtie and HD helmet cam.
