Show and tell the first class version

I think I told you a few posts ago about running into blog readers in NYC. This was the highlight of my garment district day.

I also told you about the lovely couple I ran into on the street and about the cooperative husband who took off his jacket and showed me his shirt.

The workmanship on that shirt was outstanding and so I asked for pictures.

And here they are.

Many thanks to Marian for sharing these shots and for her lucky husband Ed for being such a sport.

A standard we can all strive for in the shirt making business:

Beautiful shirt, and the husband too! You are indeed an inspiration.

Wow! I agree. The sewing and the fit is definitely expert. What a lucky guy to have such a talented wife. Good taste never goes out of style. What was his wife wearing and did she make her out fit?

That is one nifty shirt! What a treat for you.... And them. I'm headed there soon and always hope I will see someone I recognize from their blog. Wish me luck.

Wow, sewing perfection. I've always considered creating tailoring shirts as a high end skill. She could be teaching.
