@Isolation like Tohm said, best fitting jacket I've seen you wear, from memory!

What town do you live in Tohm?


Currently I'm in Shelbyville, about 30 minutes outside of Louisville. I'm planning on moving to Louisville either at the end of this year or beginning of next year, which will broaden the number of tailors at my immediate disposal.

For the record, I'm not complaining that my local tailor isn't world class, I feel lucky to have a tailor at all in my little ****-hole, semi-rural town. I'm just very aware of his limitations after a few ruined SuSu products.

EDIT: Also, I wish SF would let people change their usernames. I can't stand my username.

Shelbyville is nice. Then again, I like small towns. When you move to Louisville give Harry at Ace Custom Tailors a visit. Not exactly a bespoke sounding business name, but he's actually quite good. He made this for me...
I do love Shelbyville, simply been here too long. That looks really beautiful, I will definitely check him out!

I find this particularly amusing, give my view on the matter. I've lived/spent almost my entirely life in either Los Angeles proper (not Diamond Bar or some other such part of LA County lol) or Manhattan, and I am, at best, tolerant of each...particularly because of the people.

Perhaps I wouldn't prefer a super tiny town, but a smaller city would be the bees knees.

I grew up in San Diego, spent many years in places like Los Angeles, Dubai, and the like. I chose Louisville because it was a smaller city. Couldn't have made a better choice. Unfortunately fate has brought me to Chicago at this point, but that has its merits too. By merits I mean the Lyric Opera, of course.

Gentlemen, have a nice weekend. Was a grey and boring Friday for me, so will start with shot from Opera last Saturday.

Iso, I think you're going to have to choose whether you want your pants to fall cleanly when you're standing in knees-locked robopose or standing more naturally. I don't believe addition width will address that issue.

(BTW, in my 50 posts/page view, I am on Satan's page 666 now...)

I moonwalk everywhere I go so that I never have to break robopose.

Moonwalk is much better if you just want to show the occasional flash of sock.
