This is getting borderline of ridiculous. What is next? Darren Beaman wears glasses hence he cannot be a good tailor? As for the last suit Darren posted (huntsman single button cut with DB vest), I saw the suit  worn by its owner, not a few minutes, a few hours, I saw the owner standing, seated, eating, laughing,  I saw the coat Darren made for the same customer. That suit blew me away.  I looked intensively at the detaiils, from head to toe, I looked like a pauper in my Borrelli MTM stuff. The coat he was wearing was amazingly made, the richness of details I have never seen before. Then again I have a very limited amount of Bespoke suit (6) but grew up in a home where my father went to see a few (now famous) Italian Artisans on a monthly basis to have his suits made.  I have seen great work before, and what I saw was great work. The fact that Darren was fired from A&S, was a cutter or an Alteration tailor has no basis for me. Actually, if such claims are true, more power to him. William Massena [email protected]Someone on another site had made the observation that Darren only displays his customers' suits on mannequins, rather than on the customer himself.  I agree with the implication that showing off suits on a manequin is not the same as on the customer, for purposes of showcasing how well the suit actually fits rather than how it merely looks.  Ultimately that's what counts most.
I find this most telling...Darren, As a customer of yours, can you explain to me how you have time to post on this forum, but do not have time to return any of my calls or respond to any of my emails. Please advise. Thank you.
Of whom else thou speak'st of?The seductive power of the Internets can turn even the most established artisan into a blithering nimrod.
And lately I'm afraid Mr. Beaman hasn't been the only case
