AE CEO posting on AAAC

I really had no idea he would have a hissy fit and quit the forum over that.

Apart from that, and until then, I never really had a problem with him and even enjoyed his stuff, though I eventually found the "wear 28 ounce cloth to the beach" schtick got old after a while. I actually like heavy cloth, and take a lot of absue for that on FNB, but I can't wear the weights that Sator can. For instance, I have Lesser 16, which he says we wears in the summer, which would be absolute torture for me.

I might be wrong, but I think the dumb-threadization of SF also helped.

Link?

I think Manton and Sator both have good points - I can see both ways.

It's sad to see Sator go.

Knew that was going to happen though. Hopefully his site will be a good resource for the next generation of cutters.

Though I am new here to SF,
I am sure that I speak for many to say you are both irreplaceable.
Your knowledge and wisdom both, cannot be easily measured.
I am learning so much from you both.

You two have such a history and mutual respect for one another,
that to end an association at this point would be fruitless.
Both of you offer excellence, and it's because of your (and others) teachings,
and selfless sharing of the information, that we are all enriched.
You are like bacon & eggs
I thank you both.
I salute you both.
We need you both!
May we all be blessed for a long time to come by your collective presence.


And so say all of us!

Your discussion on the difficulties of cutting for bodybuilders is very interesting. I am glad Sator has created a place where you can talk about such things in detail. I look forward to reading further.


Answered my own question.

yes, but your posts are missed by some of us.

Notice, the Alden CEO doesn't need to hop onto message boards and tell the end consumers the quality is still the same.

What's with the Demao AVI?

Indeed.

The most helpful person on this forum.

Rather knowledgeable too.

Your posts have been missed Sator.

 

[Mr. Claymore]

Well I joined and the pictures now appear within the posts when I am logged in (most of the time). It is a fun forum, if you like you clothing discussions extremely detailed with a heavy side of history. I am going to enjoy watching it grow.

I do not think Sator started his own forum because of Manton. It seems to me that he just wanted a place where he and the tailors could chat about the technical side of clothing and its history more freely. I suspect setting up and administering the site has kept him too busy to post here at his usual levels.

The Georgetown Crosstown Classic is a killer deal at $199. I'm tempted to pick them up at lunch
