Re: The Tailors Behind The Tailors
Further: I would really like to be a tailor myself, but that means apprenticing for years and years. That's not a problem in itself. The problem is, the most skilled tailors are all located in major cities, with extremely high costs of living. How does one survive on an apprentice's wages for all those years? And then the years as a junior cutter or whatever, before striking out on one's own?

Bush's suits look decent, though not in the league of Reagan or, more currently, Mitt Romney.
