Nothing in life is free?


Paul introduced me to his tailor friend, Suichiro, up in Mizonokuchi a few weeks ago and I went and got measured up for some shirts with all the fixings, customized everything: pockets, collar, cuffs, buttons, thread color, pattern, and even my name embroidered on the sleeve. The thing is that when I went to pick them up my name was on the cuff. I wasn't even upset all because it looks pretty cool, but Suichiro apologized profusely and I got both shirts for free, with two more on the way and he knocked ¥6,000 off a suit of this season's new mohair that I am getting tailored up for Gabriel's wedding next month .
