10. Speaking of beautiful people: A fine chest needs no drape!

Feel free to add anything I have not covered.


That's sweet of you, but I still like a bit of drape in a jacket.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with a "little" drape.
Maybe we can agree on: A fine chest can take a "little" drape!

Question: Did Edwin DeBoise ever explain the differences between his cut and that of actual A&S and alike? As far as I know he was not an apprentice at A&S like the others? I guess he has a more profound tailoring and cutting background...

I regret not being around to prevent Le Bannage du Wabbit.

When I'm not around, this place lurches into Lord of the Flies mode. As a descendant of cannibals, I think that I could have helped.

So, what's jefferyd gonna cut up next? Jos. A Bank?

Let's just say it's part of my job to spot the differences...

Hang on, there is a secret handshake?

I'm afraid farting in your general direction is about as coarse as I get.
