Fit is key and I often mention this. This suit is many years old just like the one in my last blog post so the fit was not how I preferred before I went to my tailor who is also a garment maker. Within my business I deal with custom garments so I have become a fan of a certain fit. This isn't exactly a custom fit but my tailor does a damn good job at getting you close to a perfect fit.

The history of the tobacco pipe dates back thousands of years ago and many pages and multiple volumes can be written about pipes but it is indeed a great companion to contemplation and men. I am what you would call a newby to pipe smoking but I definitely enjoy the history behind it and learning the technique of smoking the pipe. This could indeed turn into a not so frequent hobby of mine.

This suit is actually about 8 years old and it was too big in my opinion, consider the fact that I prefer custom garments, with that being said a great tailor is necessary and my tailor is one of the best garment makers in the industry. Fit is always important!
