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

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.
