Little Guy Steals Tailor - Makes Suit Look Good.


Little guy stole my tailor this week and suited up for the first time, and played that suit like a fiddle.

I'm not bragging or anything (I am bragging), but I taught Little Guy everything he knows about dressing the part, and from the looks of this picture, he must have been spying on me as I work my GQ stare in the mirror every morning before heading out for another day in the trenches.

I was surprised to get a frantic call from Wife telling me that she saw a suit and had to call me immediately.  She was right on, this suit is pretty fly. 

Good eye wife!  Some of my suiting prowess must have rubbed off on her along the way too.


I was pretty eager to get the suit fitted properly, so when we got home, we threw the twins in bed and I stood the little guy on the dinette table and got tow work re-doing the cuffs so that he can look presentable.

One of the big problems with little boys dress clothes is that they make the cuffs too small, normally less than 1".

Fortunately I had enough length to work with as we had to get the little 4 year old a size 7 suit.  That is not a typo, it is a size 7.  This kid has an awesome set of shoulders, perfectly proportioned for swinging a 4 iron.

These cuffs are the real deal, 1 1/4". 

I may be tooting my own horn, which I am allowed to do because this is my blog, and I make the rules around here (subject to Wife's personal deliberation and ratification), but these are some nice cuffs.

So the next morning, I even shined up his Sunday kicks to show off the new cuffs. 

Although I did have him throw on Twin #1s clip-on tie because he was pretty impatient as it was, rather than spend a few minutes with his preferred tie-on tie.

Kid looks like a Million Bucks in his new suit and was nice enough to pose in the driveway so I could get a few pictures.

So here he is, Little Guy straight out of a Brooks Brothers Catalog.

Enjoy.

He is available for catalog work at the rate of $125/hr if you need a model.

Your kid looks totally professional on that suit, and he got that manly magazine model look to boot! You know, I think that he'll be a fine male model in a fashion magazine someday, given that he keeps on doing shoots while growing up.
