Re: Awesome Post of the Day
iammatt injects a much-needed dose of knowledge to the never-ending fora angst about pattern-matching, much of it fostered by shirtmakers as knowledgeable about shirts as most on the fora...

Try as he might, it's an uphill battle for iammatt to try to educate the uneducable fora derelict...

Re: Awesome Post of the Day
A good post containing inane information from another poster, the accusation that shirtmakers who don't pattern match with exactitude do so out of economic consideration, cutting corners and, in effect, cheating their customers. This, from a shirtmaker boasting that he has no logic behind charging $800+ for a shirt other than his customers are willing to pay the price. In this context, he likes to reference a ridiculously expensive NY tailor who brags that mere millionaires can't afford his suits, only billionaires can. It is both funny and sad at the same time. Is there any mystery to why no worldclass shirtmakers post on that fora?...

Even a billionaire has got to feel like an a-hole in an $800 shirt.

"I would love to see a completed Kabbaz shirt, in all its glory, on the client's body, not obstructed by a jacket or coat, and not completely undiscernable from other shirts because of a grainy or out-of-focus photo. They may be wonderful. But the reason you give for not showing your shirts is ridiculous and dubious: if seeing your perfect pattern-matching will somehow 'teach' other shirtmakers to better compete with you, I would be equally concerned about your clients having the audacity to take off their jackets in public."
mafoofan, don't hold your breath. You'll sooner see the Loch Ness Monster.

Have you noticed that there are never any real pag shirts except that rodeo, that ugly golden one, the horrible metal blue one, and a few sported by Wolfe? And then, what exactly, pray tell, is modified RTW?
