1. Quite a while
There was actually an article floating around about how much he pays his tailor last year immediately following the criticism of Kerry's $70 haircut.

If I recall, Bush's tailor charges a minimum of $3,000 for a suit and prices go on up to around $11k. But that's just going by memory.
