Make sure you don't get a hard on when he is measuring your inseam from the crotch.

Can someone post the different tiers and which tailors are in each tier.

First take the faces of the shoe pyramid. Then cut each face into two right triangles, invert and you will have tailor tiers.

I was wondering the same thing, maybe usnews ranks them now.

I am going to start calling everything I do a tier 1 activity.

The gorge is the lapel notch. You mean the button stance.

Don't forget to make sure he includes adequate POWS.

Gorge is related to button stance. It's the negative space of the jacket from the point of closure upward.

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care
