Pour yourself a pint and take a seat because this is a wild tale. You will not believe what really goes on at a fitting as told by this bespoke tailor. 🍺
During the holidays much earlier in my career, one gentleman staggered into the store, extremely well oiled, probably after his office party. He managed to slur that he wanted a tuxedo, so my boss began to measure him while I made notes. I noticed that the boss neglected to finish measuring the trousers, which I thought was odd. I would never question him in front of a client, so I kept quiet, but as he stood up, I understood why. The client had pissed himself while having his inseam taken.
So we wait, and finally he comes in with no clothes on, soaking wet. He’s clearly coked out of his mind. I started measuring him naked, but it doesn’t work. Ironically, it’s easier to see details about someone’s body when they’re dressed—you can’t imagine how the cloth will drape otherwise. And, of course, my measuring tape could not go places where it needed to.
I went over. He said, “I’m very sick, and my body is going to change a lot. You’re going to need to remeasure me quite often.” I’d go and see him every few weeks, alter his pattern as his condition worsened, and he’d order a bunch of shirts. The last time I saw him, he was on a ventilator in a wheelchair attended by two nurses.
But I’m lucky. I’ve had some wonderful people as clients, and still do. The day after we were locked down during Covid, one of my best customers called up saying, “You know those six suits we were talking about for next season? Let’s put them into production right now—that should cover your rent for the rest of the year.”
