My Korean tailor knows "Ivy Style"

[texas_jack]

I have a great tailor who barely speaks any english. Generally his wife translates for him but even she only speaks rudimentary english. I took my vintage Oxxford sack in to him to have the sleeves let down. He took one look at it, pointed at the lack of darts and said, "Ivy Style!" with a smile. It sort of made my day.

He's a real tailor. He's showed me bespoke he's made before. He's shortened jackets at the shoulder for me and taken in waists. Prices aren't cheap but they're nowhere near as expensive as Field's. He doesn't speak english but he knows what he's doing so it's not a problem.
