Hello.
I have gotten so sick of most of the usual igent blogs run by nobodies trying to market themselves as somebodies, giving advice, much of it wrong, to a public which probably knows as much as they do. There seems to be a whole circuit of these people, all connected. Most have no background in tailoring or design and a few years ago were clueless nerds. A few exceptions really stand out and are worth listening to, but only a few. Most are what I call second tier bloggers.
Top tier I would call Crompton and some others. I don't really know why he gets beat on so bad here. His blog at least has the appearance of being written for adults and avoids bad grammar, slang and so called relationship advice that the losers are so desperate for. But I am really an amateur in this field so maybe I am missing some things.
I myself am a frustrated clothing afficianado. Frustrated because I can't afford real bespoke. Also, because I am on the short side and a difficult OTR fit. I have often come close to completely giving up and going back to ratty old jeans and t shirts.
Anyway, I am hoping to find something different here.

Pimpernel Smith,
I can fit RTW ok when I find it in my size, which is rare. Some tailoring still required.
The problem to me is this...if you want to look sharp, and I mean look really good, you have to get things better than just "ok". You need near perfect. This is more and more true the higher up the style register you go or the more of a statement you make. If you fail, then you look like any other drone out there or worse perhaps. When you up your style game, you are stepping into a cage match. You have declared something about yourself and people will notice and judge you accordingly. If you dress like anyone else, then no one notices you so no worries really.
So to look really good, to make the effort of dressing well worth the effort, you need to get close to perfect. That takes more resources than are available to me with clothing selection OTR and more than I have monetarily at the moment.
maybe my frustration will pass. Maybe all this is just a temporary spell of negativity. Hopefully motivation will return.
