Dear etkl,

there is a variety of reasons, among them:
- a customer has a question about the craft and wants to protect the tailor
- the customer knows that his tailor would feel uncomfortable
- the tailor being an old man who cannot deal with additional customers flushing in like a waterfall

As an example, I am public about one tailor who is young, very talented and has many years of work ahead but discreet about an old man I am proud being one of his likely last few customers...

cheers, David
