Tailor pulling my leg??

[JubeiSpiegel]

Wow, what a fantastic turn this thread has taken.

Now if only Jeffrey could visit the NSM thread and end that mess... Again...

Which mess is that?
If someone ends the one that demonstrates that cuffs half the length of your tibia, that barely kiss any molecule of your shoe and have a bit of sock showing while standing, I would be grateful.

It is especially a brilliant idea when you are short and/or stocky, portly, round, pear shaped, etc. ie. when you don't have what anyone would deem an ideal physique. Rendering the illusion that you are MORE short, stock, poorly proportioned, tubby, etc. than you actually are sounds like a stroke of bespoke genius.

I've tried to parse that first paragraph five times but it just slips right through...seems like the subject clause 'cuffs half the length...' needs at least a verb and possibly an object that have sadly gone missing.

Vinny Mac is emailing Gieves right now.

Emailing them for what?

So, does any tailor not do this? Perhaps we should start from that end since it would seem shorter.

The vast majority use at least a little bit of fusible on certain parts of the garment. It is not considered a short-cut or inferior workmanship.

Honestly, I cannot even tell what I am looking at in the Caraceni pic. Carnage.

Given their prices, ouch.

That is a machine-padded lapel with a piece of fusible across it. Despite what you see here, the finishing in general was impeccable.

Also, jefferyd, I just checked your blog out(had done so before but not for some time) and sorry about your hand.
It is possible for the feeling to come back after a very extended period. I do not want to give you false hope but 6 months is not the end of the
opening. Experience has had it at years even to a 90/95% regeneration of 'normal' feeling. Nerves are a wild bunch in so many ways.

Thank you. The surgeon seemed to think I should be completely recovered in six months but there has been absolutely no change. I am patient...

When are you taking apart a few more 5k suits?

Soon. Apparently there is a Solito headed this way.
