He's one of the most knowledgeable posters here, but also, I hear, an incredible tailor. So I think he deserves his own thread.

Sadly, other than my admiration and desire, I have nothing else to share. So please post pics of your Despos-es. Quotes of your favorite posts from big D are also welcome.

I always like this Despos number that was posted on AAAC a few years ago:

Thanks for the call out Slew. I am the proud wearer of 20, give or take a few, Despos creations with several more being made up.

I have given up posting photos of my clothing (and shoes) as the line between honest, well-informed critique and rancorous bile has been forever blurred on SF. I do, however, think the world of Chris and consider him a friend who also happens to be my tailor.

I am indeed lucky on both accounts.
