I hope that people also take into consideration some of the issues tailmakers have with some clients, as well.
I'm not defending shoddy tailmakers, nor am I complaining (because all my clients are a dream to work with
), just playing Devil's Advocate.
Buying art - which custom tails essentially are - can be incredibly subjective. As a culture, we are so accustomed to buying manufactured items that show no touch of a human hand, and can be surprised when we get something that shows the hand of the maker. Handcrafted items are exactly that - handcrafted - and the item will show that.
If the tail is defective, it is incumbent upon the tailmaker to make it right. Period. But then again, customers need to do their research! If they did, no one in their right mind would throw a penny at some of these 'popular' tailmakers! Do your homework! Caveat emptor... Let the buyer beware.
