^Not necessarily, factory procedures and operations, often have rigorous and robust Quality Control that is lacking in single artisans. Not to mention machinery that can do certain operations more flawlessly than even the most skilled worker.
^ What I meant was when production is upscaled to the point when an assembly line, however short, is introduced. "Factory" was a poor word choice.
^Indeed, plus pride and competitiveness based on operational excellence and delivery.
I liked this article.

Passingtime, as always, being admirably gentle with the iGents... but we do get his drift

Just imagine them walking around with their camera gear, setting up their tripods to take picture of themselves... and then adopting their ridiculous poses that they have "perfected" and evolved over the years, after careful study of hundreds, if not thousands, of their own images. Or staging some kind of walk or movement a la Fred Astaire in front of their imaginary paparazzis. Any bystander would think they are narcissistic freaks. Or is it their loyal butlers following them around who take the pictures? In any case, not sane, and SF is the only safe heaven for such odd behavior. Honestly, I am glad they've found one!
And it's such a good point - Who would do business with an iGent?
Not I.

I have trouble picturing how can they know the wholesale price that any given tailor has access to, and how can they determine the tailor's markup for each individual cloth. iGent tax?
