Because of all the vendettas, they are among the last males still alive in the hills of Sicily. The good news is that they are unaware of the Euro, and still take lira. Oh, and they also have a flagship booteek in the Carlyle, a couple floors under Tepdoc's expansive suite.

Currently bowing and kissing your antiqued English cyber feet.

I just wanted a chance to be snarky like everyone else.

No foot-kissing necessary. Glad to help. Thanks for handling it more maturely than I did.

Rule #1 of the internet, always fight your position to the death, even in the face of overwhleming evidence to the contrary

Rule #2, when on the losing end of a fight with grimslade, simply yell out "sycophant!" to even things out.

Pier One makes suits?

Part of the experience of working with a top tier tailor is the expertise of his "eye" and sense of proportion and what is right and what works on you. These questions are best answered by your tailor and the answers will confirm or inform you if you are in the shop that is right for you. The first suit, let him do his thing and see the magic or the tragedy. Before you wanted straight built up shoulder now you are wondering about softness. Leave it to your tailor and his natural tendencies and ability. The less you know the more you may learn.

Was this your experience with Yachtie?

I have to say that even though his earlier stuff fit well, his newer stuff looks much better. I am glad to see you are learning.

I think you are saying I don't know much. Yachtie is my tailoring mentor and I must obey.

I suggest meeting a full, 3/3 tailor, I hate when the 1/3 tailors try to take my measurements from their skateboards.

well said very helpful.

re: Before you wanted straight built up shoulder now you are wondering about softness.

After trying on some suits w/ softer shoulder I'm starting to think it may compliment me a bit more.

Might be me, but I think a sold Navy, 2B, 3 piece suit is a somewhat conservation garment. Accordingly, I would not do the ticket pocket. That said, I think the question of degree of softness in the shoulder is purely a matter of personal preference and one's shoulder structure. If the tailor is any good (I have not a clue what tier 1 means), he ought be able to advise on that issue.
