I don't think they like to be called mini-stalkers, unless it's actually Verne Troyer who is stalking you. I think the PC term is little people. Midget is right out, as is dwarf. Ask Dopey. He would know.

I prefer to think of myself as a follower. But the cops didn't see it that way when they delivered the restraining order.

I stalk, therefore I am.

Bespoke is a hit and miss. There's nothing wrong with looking good in RTW, which most people assume with poor fit. It's good I have an average body.

How do you distinguish between the little mini-stalkers and groupies, novitiates, future GRE/SAT verbal score boosting candidates?

The authorities are so insensitive.

I was later surprised to see two pairs of trousers when I opened the package after the commission was shipped. He had finished the new pair made up exactly as I wished, but also had gone ahead and finished off the first pair with pleats, and provided both at no extra cost.

When I asked him about it, he replied, "Of course, sir, it is my pleasure."

To me, all aspects of that experience represent the ideal of service.

Vox, whoever did that is a mensch. Obviously you were dropping tons of cash, but nowadays, even when people spend tons of their money (hard earned or not), that customer service is rarely found.

Is it a tragedy? Or not yet?







Thanks for feedback.

The pants don't look bad, but your tailor brought back the 80s with that coat (except for the high gorge).

Someone who posts his photos once in a while here and the majority of whose wardrobe I believe is made of bespoke clothes, has such ill-fitting ugly clothes that I want to cry for all the money he has invested in all those tailoring projects. (no, he's not kitonbrioni)

Some bespoke work is looking quite ill-fitted to be fair but it will also depends on the brief given by the customer to the tailor..
Some people love boxy suits...I prefer them with a bit of waist suppression...

Up all night and drunk again, huh? Maybe the next time you are tempted to make such a post -- reviving dead threads just to indulge your obsession with me, as ever, unprovoked and out of the blue -- you should sleep it off and see if it still makes sense in the morning. The spelling might be better, at the very least.

Oh, and:

Pants are too long and your jacket is much too big in the shoulders and throughout the body. Sleeves are long as well. Is this your first bespoke commission? Button stance is all wrong. Actually, the jacket is just all wrong.

That's my third bespoke. The first two were much better...

I will shorthen the pants. As for the jacket - any chances for it to be redone? Or let it be as it is?
