You certainly do need it from voxsartoria.

Just a little sarcasm Foo, calm down.

You really are dense, both in terms of reading comprehension and understanding the undertones of the phrases you casually throw about (and I wan't referring to 'straw man', nitwit).

Your strategy seems to be to deluge anyone disagreeing with you with long, non-sensical responses, in the hopes of exhausting them. But hey, it seems to work.

Are you a web bot?

I'm pretty sure Mr. Paone can cut a beautiful suit, just like he (probably) did at Rubinacci. The question is, will he continue adding the same amount of handwork, attention in his line of suits. Most probably, past customers of Rubinacci will compare, and I'm pretty sure he is aware of this. If not, well, too bad huh.

He's equal parts pensive and unshaven.

He certainly seems to be aging well, at least.

As mentioned in another thread, the concern shouldn't be the handwork. At this level, it is sort of silly to pick a tailor based on the amount and fineness of the hand stitching. Too many other differentiating factors matter more. Fit, style, reliability, chemistry, etc.

I am learning a lot from SartodiNapoli's posts. Grazie mille.

You forgot to add the *sarcasm* emoticon at the end of your post.

In all seriousness, is there no way the mods can just delete the last ten pages or so?

It's just pointless drivel and bickering now. Admittedly, by adding my own posts I have probably been furthering it all.

It's interesting that someone made the same observation in the French tailoring thread, at the time I didn't understand why they would say that... Now I see that they were right. Basically when people come into a thread with such a condescending and argumentative manner the thread deteriorates very quickly and nothing good really comes of it. Shame really.

It stops being about offering contrasting views about the subject we are (presumably) all enthusiasts about, tailoring. It's now about being "better than", or "more right" than others, and everything is written through that lens. Again, shame really.

Glad to read it and know that, at least, are a few who appreciate the truth and do not follow hypes who others dictate with, sad to say, not very good taste or enough knowledge as expossed.

Cheers!

I would suggest it is more accurate to say that in every threak that Foo posts inevitably becomes about Foo.

Correction: the same people inevitably make every threak that Foo posts in about Foo.
