Tailoring at a Young Age

Aside from a MTM suit back in 2008, this is the first time I have tailored a suit - despite working in occupations that require suits for the best part of 14 years! All thanks to SF. In the 6 weeks since I 'discovered' SF, I've bought 3 pairs of entry level dress shoes and tailored a RTW suit. Next step, will be more shirts in whites and blues (staples) and then a pacific blue suit. I'll then think about ties, because I generally do not wear ties - except for interviews. Note: after viewing Spoo's dimples in his ties, and taking his inspiration from choosing his colour combination from nature, I will start wearing ties once I buy the pacific blue suit
Also need to expand cufflinks once I've updated the staples.
That said, I've always tailored my casual trousers (generally Nicole Farhi or Joseph - it has been a long, long while since Jospeh has produced what I deem to be a suitable style i.e. not ultra skinny flat- fronted).
