Suits that Dont Feel Great are Emasculating

Mass production of suits are dehumanizing. This is due to the fact that men are intimidated by costs and not knowing the value an enduring garment and personal signature from tailoring details of fit. They fear potential the cost without realizing the impact of less stress on a garment that will wear it out. This fact is mislaid as men that think tailoring is fashion and hence changes are sorely or at least frivolously mistaken. This is evident when men that buy classic style rather than fashion, build wardrobes rather than replace them. With this reality they semi retire garments and when they wear old suits again, to others seem new and actually get compliments. As well for cost concerns, with tailoring designers men can cut out the middlemen. Samsons Suitstyler now competes with Indochino that is owned by Amazon, both cutting out the retailor. Men that buy fashion often have not had their father to take them to a real tailor shop for classic quality. With www.planet-tailored.com, the mistakes most tailors make revealed pay forward the tips of a successful humanizing garment. Simply revealed is the garment or wearers integrity manifested by a sculpted body and an integrated elongating silhouette.

 Men who don't dress are often too serious about dressing. They don't see the adventure and pleasure in finding their own "look"that merges courage and intelligence with conviction. This syndrome is really dehumanizing as men may never conceive virtual completion of their wardrobe. Something that seems only men or self realized people could do. Without completion women own us as boy toys.

Men often think that if women dress then to be masculine they dont need to do so. This is a style in itself and often helps if possible to develop character, maybe even some charm and class, so that first suit really looks good!  Its about brain use, to show up, with subtle pride and making rapport in your world. 

A Tailoring Designers career is seeking those out that strive creatively, not the ones that are in a rut, forgetting their initial vision or reason for will. Life is often an illusion about forgotten values and confusion cynicism with realism and new data when being present with people you were formerly biased against.  A great TD will have a rich presence and countenance to support men that need to align new values around good taste, new diet, new tailor and new goals with your support.

Men need a personal investment in themselves, that they create whether its about weight, about achieving goals or about simply showing they understand the difference between a wrinkle from poor fit and a tired cloth. What men get is a personal sense that is not dehumanizing.

The War against Misfit Suits

 Men aren't satisfied with average suits.  An  army of tailoring designers can democratize the tailored suit (to make available to all men) We need tactics that prompt mens integrity for self respect and knowledge of what tailored fit. This is where www.planet-tailored.com comes in as the world's only mens tailored shopping app. Men and women will research more before shopping. Before they buy on sale and get stuck with an unsuitable bad compromise or worse at a 3rd party local tailor shop.

We must as in war against fraudulent suits, rebuild our self respect and economy.  Men are getting massacred by brands and sales. In war Einstein said, "War is the failure of the imagination". Men as a rule who wear suits are not artists, but worker bees. Tailoring Designers make men look and feel good . A consumer culture without fundamental values such as health is a red flag. The tailored suit represents that health and personal concern against bad shape.  This is more personal and feasible than the retail salesmen's personal connection. Retail overheads are in question today.

Their tailor that does not know or care about their clients other than the material product is just making a living. A tailoring designer is a good point man, a guide that a salesmen is not likely to provide such direct quality and trained service. TD use international standards such as planet-tailored.com. Even retailors with tailored integrity may be impressed enough to sign on to the site, to advocate those standards and have their name listed in your city. Their salesman may even be impressed enough to become a TD!

In classic tailoring we incorporate the values of the past with innovation. TD in the 21st C. is a fight to democratize all men's sartorial integrity, as well to show up and be present. Many insipid men fade into neutrality in casual clothing and uninspired behaviour. Ideally you want to be both animated, charming and well dressed, like an actor. A TD  will fight for the reputation of the suit as a craft of hundreds of years of tailors for the purpose of close comfort that he assures. A Td's habits and will, preparation and practice will bring the metaphoric significance of the suit for each of your clients desires and purposes. When a TD know's his client's drive, he works to protect their good image and augment the possibilities for them. A TD's study of tactics and respect for his contacts are his strategy for the prospect of a whole wardrobe package. This is the key for tailoring in the 21st C "Wardrobe Packages" that TD's offer. This century will offer no fooling around with sales, salesmen and lack of fundamental standards of fit where retailors that don't retailor properly.

The Roots of Retail
The word retail comes from the 13^th C. French word “tailler”, which means "to cut off, clip, pare, divide". It was first recorded as a noun with the meaning of a "sale in small quantities". Ironically tailors also cut or sculpt individual clothing, the kind of personalization that retailing cannot provide. Originally tailor shops made everything on premise, but after the manufacturing era started in the early 18th century, the idea of altering or re-tailoring a readily made suit “size” was created and hence the word re-tailors also seem to fit. Also interestingly enough the word size comes from the term assize that was a judgment or verdict usually or verdict or finding rendered by the jury.

As the fit of a garment would demand some judgment from the buyer or even the onlookers. Early tailors had mixed feelings on ready-mades. On one hand they were lowering standards of fit but on the other a convenience for hasty customers. The loss of some 10,000 estimated tailors in Europe’s wars further prompted the loss of tailoring standards of fit and the convenience of no tailoring.  This also led to the strength of consumer brands, sales clearances and more compromises to the “wor-shoppers” of manufactured and advertised brands. What would be missing is the service providing consumers with values and valuable information on “how to appear”.

A Tailoring Design Career?

Your Service Extraordinary

As you achieve tailoring knowledge you will be able to offer what most retail stores can’t, service and personal value. All without sewing skills. The market is full of people that buy on sale and have to find a tailor adding to the cost, as well as the problems of a satisfactory fit. This is because many suits cannot be altered properly once they are cut for the rack. If people pay full price, only then will they get professional alterations or tailoring included. Often the only minor alterations, not professional re tailoring.

A Little History of Tailoring

Since the 1700’s gentlemen have been posturing their bodily image and self-respect with this unspoken language for their benefit that led to some pretentious behavior. The word retailor comes from the word “tailor”. Originally tailor shops made everything on premise, but after the manufacturing era started in the early 18th^th century, the idea of altering or re-tailoring a readily made suit in what was called a size, was created and hence the word re-tailors. The suitmakers opinion of compromising with this “size” was mixed. On one hand they were lowering standards on the other a tempting business approach for hasty customers and competition. The service providing consumers with valuable information would be missing. The days when fathers brought in their sons to the tailor shop to talk about success and dressing was on the demise. Missing was that essential human factor to the metaphor of sculpting one’s social life. A TD’s future is about sharing with professionals, the values of being good, feeling good and looking authentic.

Get out and Network

After you have followed the measurement chart and measuring sequences. Start practicing on friends and the compare to one of their suits as to how well you have measured. When you are close to perfect you can consider dressing yourself for success and networking. When you are starting your networking day it’s good to keep in mind talking tailoring with new contacts as a default conversation. Taking note of their choice of cloth possible their coordination of garments or something positive you find.  Add your sincerity and skills and you will be entering a world of professionalism. You as an online course graduate will share the benefits of all TD graduates as we pass out thousands of Planet-tailored.com and Suitstyler.com cards. We will all benefit from search engine optimization, putting the site on top of google as people search for “how a tailored suit should fit”. By that time your name could be on the sites under your cities name or district.

Do Smart Men Consider Deep Dressing?

 Deep dressing is a way to show an appreciation for life’s colors, textures, shapes and details. That we are more than our clothes, allowing us to dress for simple, safe and sometimes overt pleasures. One can dress not just “for” respect but “to” respect.

In sartorial terms one may not take clothing too seriously and learn and enjoy dressing up a notch to practice one’s manners and generosity (in kind). Shakespeare once said, “the whole world’s a stage” You might even say it’s an urban adventure.  Ironically often those that have developed good character without dressing often benefit the most, when they do dress. This happens naturally as deep dressers use clothing to frame, not overshadow the character, allowing them to build the wardrobe and their people skills together.  Many brand followers (sartorial idolatry) do so as a natural consequence of spiritual devoid, treating tailoring as part of cloth and material with no human intermediary. In doing so sort of dehumanize themselves by not understanding the elements of tailoring, that is completion of shape (so only rumples or relaxed cloth that can later be pressed, remains)

Clothing is everyman’s art and part of personal culture. This healthy human activity is part of our documented human need for rituals and the third level of humanities better behaviors according to psychologists. Underneath, Games and Postulate (spirit based education, philosophy, story-telling) The study of our environment including clothing is called Aesthetics.

When we stop thinking or questioning, we start believing, forfeiting the wisdom of insecurity. Einstein maintained that he was not a genius but simply suspended and reflected on issues rather than disregard them. Like being on stage a little insecurity is invigorating and human. It’s a practice that is healthy. Immunologists maintain that low stress and high stress are hard on the system, but medium stress and relaxation is a good practice. So if its what’s inside that counts, then are we not being insipid by dressing neutral or mediocre? Are we not sabotaging ourselves by not showing up with a little visual generosity? Psychologists deal with more and more people that pretend that they have no power, no goals, and fail at self-esteem to creatively proudly, “pay it forward”, band be grateful. Here erroneous belief is that if its what’s inside that counts then one should turn the inside to the outside. It becomes a rite of passage to be a role model, not just to quietly do good. The men’s mandate is to enjoy being fully present with evidence of some competence visually and emotionally to compliment others with deep listening skills.

Fashion without reflection and rapport is superficial. Dressing with the intervention of an unbiased person helps to humanize the purchase, especially when it is personalized to fit to the body there is commitment and substance. Deep dressing involves more than just personal value but practicing being complimentary and creating rapport with honorable 

String Theory, Music, Tailoring & Culture

Steve Pelman

Forward- My Past

 Note;  This is a blog-book and chapters will repeat some information to maintain the context The purpose is to best reach the public to avail the values of this new brave new industry for the 21 st. C

My father was a latecomer as a retailor in men’s clothing after WW2, he was also a great tenor in the community temple Choir.   I learned music to the point of passion that I want to transfer the discipline to visual harmony. This is significant as dressing, and music are both vibrations and a part of the new string theory of quantum physics. Waves permeate matter and are indications of how culture or integration can work. Einstein could not believe the “Quantum Entanglement” experiment and called it spooky. This is readily available on YouTube and people would have to deny science. They would also have to deny culture as a relative phenomenon.  My disciplines are visual and audible and share the same purpose to integrate via these rituals as any living species would participate.

As the second son and fourth child, hearing his singing from that great distance was often the most impressionable communication of power and passion. This I took as a message of the power he emanated. Given in the fifties that the news of the Holocaust and the constant air-raid sirens threatening nuclear disaster, I was moved to consider rock and roll to be the new electric messiah, or the “message or the pied piper of civilizing culture via music via enlightening or wisdoms of engaging lyrics. It was well known the term by Marshal McLuhan, that the medium was the message. And the multitudes of baby boomers seem to be the spearhead for “sculpting civilization”. That was my mission for many years. As it happens the Beatles beat me to the emancipation of the Russian youth to the extent that the Russian government ended up their ban on western music by actually selling Beatles albums. (according to CBC 5^th Estate Series)

But I soon realized the musical gamble I was playing with the multitudes of dudes competing for glory. Most of the music was redundant tribal (strong beat) entertainment and was not creating a larger pie or market, but was simply just replacing love and loss songs. The industry was capitalizing on human frailties, but hardly sculpting personalities and healthy souls for a dynamic civilization.  

When I was in college my profession said that Shakespeare wrote, “In what tailor shall we find Plato”. Now this to me at the time was interesting to look in the context of Shakespeare’s time to the human nature of dress and its value among men and competition. As my father was a “re”tailor,  I was curious as to the tailors history and decided to take a job with him at Sam’s Shirt Shop. After a few years of selling suits, I realized  that even though all customers were content, that there was always one client fit that was exemplary. This was when I opted out for a better standard. Then along came the web to publish and proliferate with apps, those standards.

It was then I learned why there were no standards and why so many suits did not fit. I realized the estimated loss of 10,000 European tailors during WW2 among the change of values to electronics, cars and virtual entertainment. The perfect suit has a value that was only handed down from a father and his tailor to his son. This is virtually lost as the fathers mostly do not know. Certainly I see country presidents and corporate VIP with bad jacket collars who like the Emperors new clothes, failed due to trusting rather than sharing the standards that link all men.  Many of those sartorial secrets were buried in the genocide of the 1940’s.  My life mission started there. To redeem the souls of those craftsmen, the values that can be shared by all men. This is true today with scalable online training of tailoring design and the shared economy to fight the new inflation. A man’s dignity is not in how many suits are in his closet, but by his confidence in just one suit.

What does fit do with becoming a tailoring designer?

 As you achieve tailoring knowledge you will be able to offer what most retail stores can’t. Only high end stores may offer world class “standards of fit”. You see today retail stores do not retailor, but actually just do minor alterations. The word retailor is actual used for original tailor shops that after manufactured “sizes” came into production would then re tailor the garment. This would allow for men to try on the garment whereas before in cloth form they could not get a good idea. Without proper balance of garment, a suit will wear out prematurely in the slacks and jackets will contort its shape rather than shape to the body.

Your future is about sharing with professionals the values of an authentic fit suit and the self-respect clients get when you give them their personal Brand aid, rather than what they have been buying that is a “Band-Aid.”  We find that many appreciative clients tend to lose weight after they realize how good they can look. Our factory direct business competes with high overhead, expensive convenience purchases and lip service salesmen. Add your sincerity and skills and you will be entering a world of professionalism from one’s formal training and corporate culture initiation.

You as an online course graduate will share the benefits of all TD graduates as we pass out thousands of Planet-tailored.com and Suitstyler.com cards. We will all benefit from search engine optimization, putting the site on top of google as people search for “how a tailored suit should fit”. By that time your name could be on the sites under your cities name or district.

Fashion and superficiality is costing the planet in terms of wasted energy used for garments that are thrown away. A good cloth properly made in a suit is masculine in its substance. Something women admire and cannot find today cheaply. The fact is proper fit is the object of beauty and not typical of most subjective styled seasonal fashion. Although both is fun too. For personal investment for your clients we will should you have to create a wardrobe foundation to take all the wear and creates one’s strong image. Smart men build and rotate their wardrobes so they are not always replacing. As quality suits have doubled in cost in the last 10 years, the time is right to learn to measure, sell and retain good clients.  Since the 1700’s gentlemen have been posturing their bodily image and self-respect with this unspoken language for their benefit that led to some pretentious behavior. Your attitude is your choice as long as you perform and respect your clients. You will not have to sell, but simply dress well, socialize smartly, and enjoy your prospects. Authenticity is a great value in a world of fakes, automated products, faceless salespeople and hasty shoppers who believe its what’s inside that counts, as dressing well can be associated with humility although, its best that you are great at something to act humble. Once your clients see fit, they will have more confidence, enjoy themselves and others by being the best suit in the room.
