My forum seems to be cluttered with those who feel old and time consuming methodology = good.

However, there are many tailors stuck in that trap. Old houses that stick to very old cutting methods as the basis of their "house style" (ie the period costume from when the house was founded) are also prone to this sort of thinking.

Even if you find a method of engineering that makes one thing quicker, it hardly speeds up the entire process. It just allows you concentrate more on things you would rather be concentrating on eg minor aspects of fit and style. Rather than getting the train working at all you concentrate on making the train design so that it is faster, quieter, smoother etc. It doesn't really save time at all, nor you money. However, it gives you a better product overall.

This thread assumes that no tailor but that mysterious Australian master is capable of cutting a decent collar on a coat. That is the reason why said tailor charges more money than igent darling Rubinacci, even though he cuts corners on cosmetic things which scream "custom" e.g. handmade buttonholes, and which alot of bespoke customers demand from a high-class suit. The only thing we've seen from this tailor is a coat which looks like shit even when drapped over a hanger with a laple buttonhole I wouldn't accept on a 50 dollar suit, let alone a 6000 custom one.

I now expect the shooman to write some drivel on how he doesn't have to explain himself, how I'm not better than your average igent blablabla.

If it wasn't for Sator's really interesting statements, this thread would be right at home on the Inanity Post
