Don't forget that it is almost a job requirement for a tailor to denigrate the work of others. Your tailor is admirably complying with professional expectations.

However, I can assure you there will be some tailor somewhere willing to step up to the plate to denigrate your tailor (and mine too) as a maker of "rubbish"

It's interesting to get an insider's view of the shortcomings of prestigious clothing brands.  The dirty laundry of high style.  My own tailor showed me a Kiton jacket taken to him because the sleeve had been attached improperly and did not hang correctly.  Another customer's Brioni suit fit crappily around the collar and back and had to be repaired.  Yet another customer's bespoke suit, made by a very famous Savile Row tailor, whose name I won't disclose as he's in poor health, fit so badly, the entire jacket needed to be taken apart, literally, re-measured, re-fit and, finally, sewn back together.  The tailor even skimped on the lining, which fell way short of covering the entire jacket interior.  The ugly underbelly of fashion.

I actually got booed on Ask Andy About Nazis for sying the very thing about Kiton, and insisting that Borrelli shirts are crap.

Glad a pro would bear me out.
