I was taught by a master
tailor from County Cork in Ireland. He was the best tailor
we had on the premises. You start off padding collars,
putting in pockets, but you're expected
to make a full jacket ready for fitting
by the end of the first year. As soon as you put it on, it should fit like a glove
and you know it's made for you. I knew I couldn't survive in a
place like that for the rest of my life, cluttered in a small workshop,
sitting on the bench, padding lapels. But I did have a passion
and I was good at it
