10 November 2011:
Way back in 1978 or so, while I was working in Jakarta, I had a suit made by a local tailor. Inexpensive, and it fit very well. Since then almost all of my dress pants have come from that same tailor in Jakarta. Every few years a traveling relative will have two or three more pairs made to my measurements and bring them to LA.
Here in Bali, the wife of a friend of Lily's brother also has a tailor shop and we gave them some business on this trip. I had a new sport jacket made and a pair of pants. The jacket and pants will get worn for the first time tomorrow night at the big wedding reception in Jakarta. Here is the proprietor and her 'cutting man' who did most of the work. (Canon 30D)
