same here. and even for my own liking it took a while getting used to my pants looking like that, but it really is so much better than the standard pool of fabric that gathers around so many mens pant cuffs.

I had some resistance too when I started bring my stuff to my tailor, but the bottom line is that you are the boss. You have to wear the clothes, not the tailor. You have to be firm and say, "Yes, I understand that you think they are long or short enough, but I don't think so, and I want them a bit shorter /longer". The tailor will adapt to your personal preferences when dealing with you. biggrin.gif

At least that's what I noticed at the few that I've been to.  Admittedly I did not follow them city to city across the country on tour, so it may vary by city.

Its a tough call to make, but I won't go as far to say that your point is not valid.  However, I feel like some of his more recent albums only had a few good songs on it, unlike Ironman or Supreme clientele where you did not want to skip any tracks.

 

That OB4CL 2 album was [sort of] a recent good one, however its very different from the original stylistically.

 

Not sure this is the right thread to discuss this, sorry for going off topic.

And he will be a very lucky man.

The wife and I took an impromptu night out last night, so I thought I'd see how my dad's old pea coat looked before I got it altered.

I like a lot of break. My tailor always gave me crap about it when I brought in jackets to be altered. Then she started hemming my pants for free. You might ask if this involves me waiting around my tailors' in boxers reading a book. And the answer is yes, yes it does. This has happened twice (but the second time I had had a pair of pants there to be altered, so I just wore those to Starbucks, had a coffee, and came back and switched them out to the pants I was wearing that day). We compromised on half break. 

 

Also, does anybody else have a female alteration tailor? It seems a bit weird, but she's been great so far compared to my previous tailor (especially on the shoulders of a few jackets), and a number of people have confirmed that she's one of the better ones in Seoul.  She is, however, slower than salvation.

Where are you in Seoul and who do you use? If I need something done, I just bring it to my actual tailor.

The thing is that neither a full break nor a minimal break are wrong per se, unless the break is excessive or socks are showing, of course. And depending on how wide the leg opening is, you might want more or less break. But in the end, it's all down to personal preference, and that is what the tailor should understand, instead of trying to impose what he likes...

Not happy with the lighting in the full body picture. An infrared remote is in the mail.

Trying to get comfortable with cuffing the occasional trouser. The crease is tilting a bit as I lean over to use the camera.

My alterations tailor is a Vietnamese lady and she's excellent, does what I ask and always prompt. She happens to be both good natured and gorgeous too which is an added bonus! I haven't yet broached the subject of sitting in her shop in me undercrackers while she works on me strides, not sure my missus would approve!

I like a lot of the GZA and Ghostface solo too. However, I thought only white people listened to Wu Tang.  At least that is who mostly attends their concerts.

newsflash-  mostly white people attend all rap concerts
