The former mayor of SF, Willie Brown would be a good prospect. The current mayor, Gavin Newsom might be as well.
I wouldn’t mind one myself, but since I wear a suit about twice a year, it wouldn’t make much sense.

The main difference is, Darren was never a cutter at A&S. He was an alterations tailor. In the back room. Nor was he ever a cutter at any of the other Savile Row firms, as far as I know.
If he does do his cutting now, I’d be interested to know who trained him. It certainly wasn’t Mr Halberry.
But I hear he was a good sewing tailor.
PS: “Master Tailor” is a fairly meaningless term, and Tom never uses it. And personally, I myself am wary of anybody who does.

Hi—Can you describe the differences in credentials between Thomas and another master tailor from Anderson & Shepperd, Mr. Darren Beaman. Mr. Beaman is promoting himself heavily that he was a top tailor at A&S, so I want to decide which master tailor to use, Mr. Mahon or Mr. Beaman. Thanks.
