Just out of curiosity: how often do the tailors here make suits for yourselves?

But the real questions is, when you do cut a suit for yourself, how do you do the fitting? Do you have a colleague do the assessment for you? Or can you look in the mirror and make a mental not of all of the adjustments. It struck me during a fitting yesterday just how impossible it would be to do oneself.

I went in on a brain surgery with a neurosurgeon who proceeded to drop his scrubs in the OR to show his partner where he had performed self-surgery with a kitchen knife on his upper buttocks/thigh region to drain an abscess.

So okay, that's not really surgery as most people would think of it but draining an abscess is still considered a surgical prcedure.

Corinthian. You'd be surprised. I am willing to bet there's a tailor someone on this earch cutting and sewing his own clothes. I mean it's not that hard, one just needs plenty of patience with the self fitting process.
