In rereading the above quote from Michael, I ruminated on an interaction I recently had with a tailor. I would like to present the situation and see how fellow Loungers would have responded.alden wrote:Anyway we have since gotten onto a discussion about how to interact with craftsmen. And for over a decade now, I have written that this is a subject of prime importance. Its vastly more important than any possible nit or nat a nitpicker can pick.

I arrived at the tailor for a fitting, when I saw my suit hanging in the work area, it looked splendid. I proceed to try on the trousers; they fit great. Then I looked into the mirror; and what did I see? Two back pockets; the problem, there should not have been any. Additional, since I do not like rear pockets, I have a special pocket sewn into the waist band, to hold my credit cards and identification; it was not there. Now if you were confronted with the situation, how would you have dealt with the craftsman?
