Quotation of the Day for June 13, 2013"Tailors provide handmade or, at the very least, personally-made suits that can last forever. They labour in a world where quickly produced throwaway fashion makes today's looks already passe. Profit is made through churn and burn, wear it, trash it, then shop again. A tailor-made suit isn't like that. It can last a lifetime and then some, to the perplexity of sons everywhere. There are thousands, perhaps millions of suits in young men's closets, waiting again for a tailor's touch to reconcile, when possible, the trace of the father to the body of the son." - JJ Lee, in The Measure of a Man.
