I used to assume that the Commies stole Chinese culture from the Chinese.

But then, I met people from Taiwan.

So, that theory went out the window.

By PM of course.


george, kindly demonstrate to me what a fully-canvassed ban looks like, as my feeble brain won't otherwise be able to grasp it.

in the spirit of this thread, please try and be as precise, nuanced and constructive as jeffery and despos.

thank you very much.

I hope that A-E will one day introduce Kimchi as a color option. Also, I had a kimchi quesadilla this weekend. It was excellent.

Is it ever mentioned in this thread...

1. What are Despos' starting prices?

2. How may weeks to complete?

3. Can he do Neapolitan shoulders (pad-less with pleats in upper sleeve) or very high fitted armscyes? Or does he have a strict house style?

4. Finally, and most perplexing of all, is he in Dallas or Chicago?!

Will PM you info.

Have a store in Chicago, spend most of the time in Chicago. Have a workroom in Dallas and visit Dallas for a couple days every 2 or 3 weeks. Spend a day in N Y every 4 to 6 weeks.
