Wow thanks you guys, I like you too Giovanni.... Genesia, after working in in a store (that offers over 43 different styles on shirt collars alone, 17 measurements on a shirt and whole lotta more for trousers) that had me working with men like Martin Greenfield and Gonzalo (from NYC), I gained a complete newfound love and respect for any well made suit, GOD I miss that job! You write about clothing for a living?....How fun! pplrain...These were all "high-end" suits so a lot of athletes used to get measured....in their undies.....and I was the only woman working in the store, can you imagine yourself putting your hands all over some one like Alex Rodriguez to measure him.... "SO, sir I see that you dress to the left, I'll have to add more fabric to accommodate more movement and comfort"  Ya'll don't understand, men can be soo beautiful  | |

I primarily write about women's clothing. I'm a writer by training, but I've also been sewing for well over 30 years -- so when I hear terms like "besom" or "bi-swing back," I go all 
A few weeks ago, Donald Driver (wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers) was at our company for a meeting. One of my friends in another part of the building emailed me to say that he had just stepped out of a limo wearing a suit that was clearly not made by the company we work for. He had on a charcoal gray frock coated suit with an orchid shirt and tie.
Unfortunately, I didn't get close enough to him to be able to tell which way he "dresses."  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Unfortunately, I didn't get close enough to him to be able to tell which way he "dresses." I loved our swatch books, and even got to get Gonzalo to measure me for my own suit.....fine 120s worsted cashmire blended wool, that suit was worth 5,700.00 at the time and I got it for free! At the store we would do all the fun stuff, fabric choice, style choice, measurements then we would send the info to one of our two factories to get them made... turnaround time was 4-6 months, and sometimes they went through extra fittings depending on how the fabric fell, so I got to see my customers a lot and got pretty close to them...if their wives weren't with them | |

It was the ultimate "golddigger" job... not that I went there, but sometimes I really wanted to. what a cool job. It was the ultimate "golddigger" job, but I didn't go there with it, although I must say, I was REALLY tempted to on a few occasions  [Edited 11/27/07 8:35am] | |

He ended up specializing in larger sized women, and worked at Lane Bryant in the '20s. When is your Birthday? Mine is May 13th. So how's the skunk smell now? Did the solution spray beat it down entirely? "He's a musician's musician..." |

I wish to heaven they did! Do you get Threads magazine? They did an article a couple issues ago on copying your favorite pair of pants (without ripping the pants apart to make a pattern). I have a pair of casual pants that would translate nicely to wool -- and I'm going to give it a try after the holidays.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them.

Great idea about sewing after the holidays... I think I will the same, time to visit the fabric stores... God I have to go to NY! [Edited 11/27/07 9:25am] | |
