I would like to know who their tailors are so as to avoid them like five dollar hooker.

Mkmm, seems a good sort, never seems to let things rattle him when others pile in. Very mellow.

I suspect here though, that he has fallen foul of his florid writing style and raised the expectations of his audience. Mafoofan fell into a similar trap with regards to Rubinacci and suffered a similar fate.

The thing is there is no consensus as to what great tailoring is or should look like. Things like styling are subjective and based on tastes, cultural cues &c. You could argue that there are some objective measures like fit for example.  It’s difficult. I see this as virtue though not a vice.

Farming out does not equal disaster. Vastly more complex products than tailoring are manufactured by outsourcing work.
