>This dude is an absolute fraud and i have no idea how he keeps getting work
He was the creator of the ‘Freaks and Geeks’ tv show, which was executive produced by Judd Apatow, before both of them were well known.
‘Freaks and Geeks’ starred
Linda Cardellini
John Francis Daley
James Franco
Samm Levine
Seth Rogen
Jason Segel
Martin Starr
Becky Ann Baker
Joe Flaherty
Busy Philipps
Again, before most were well known.
He then directed some very successful comedy films.
He would have to direct a much longer string of turds to get banned from Hollywood, and even then, he would probably get work directing films for Hallmark or something similar.
He also was kind of a funny character on the Sabrina the Teenage Witch show but hilariously they just cut him out instead of writing him anymore scenes.
Bridesmaids was carried by its cast, particularly Kristen Wiig, Rose Byrne and Melissa McCarthy and its script. The direction could have been done by anyone else competent and likely wouldn't have impacted on its success.
>Director Paul Feig wears tailored suits every day on set.
Sean Connery supposedly wore bespoke Saville Row suits in most of the Bond films.
The story is that someone convinced Albert R. Broccoli or someone else in the production, that the bespoke suits would not only look better, but that the suits would hold up better than off the rack suits would, as well as provide better mobility for action sequences.
Connery had a suit made, and slept in the suit for a couple days, and the suit still looked good, so Connery wound up with bespoke suits made for the role, which I presume he kept or hot to purchase cheap at the end of the film shoots.
Bespoke Saville Row suits aren’t cheap, but they’re supposedly made for people like barristers who may spend 18 hours a day reading documents or in court, and they use the bast fabric possible.
One British Lord joked when told John Gotti wore $3,000 Armani suits, that he didn’t know you could buy a suite that cheap.
is bespoke the same as tailor made, or does it mean something different?
I know there's a tier between off the rack and tailor made, where you go in for measurements and the tailor adjusts an off the rack suit to you, rather than making one from scratch. Dunno what its called though.
>is bespoke the same as tailor made, or does it mean something different? >I know there's a tier between off the rack and tailor made, where you go in for measurements and the tailor adjusts an off the rack suit to you, rather than making one from scratch. Dunno what its called though.
Bespoke means the suit is “completely Custom”.
The tailor may have forms similar to French Curves, but basically, when you get a bespoke suit made,
the tailor takes a crapload of measurements,
Then asks what type and design of suit you would like,
Then lets you choose the fabric you would like ( supposedly were the name “bespoke” comes from, since the fabric is then “spoken for”),
Then the tailor determines any special features you may want (ie. Hidden passport pocket) (extra room for a gun holster) etc.
the tailor then cuts the fabric using the measurements and possible forms, although could likely lay out the cuts freehand,
Then the fabric is sewn, routinely by hand with a needle, with all reinforcing, etc.
the buttons are hand sewn on,
The buttonholes are almost certainly hand sewn,
You then go in after the suit is sewn, or when it is just tacked together, to insure fit, which may happen twice or more.
Patterns and measurements are likely kept for future suits.
The same is done for bespoke shoes, although in those cases, custom shoe lasts may are likely made, and a pair of “pattern shoes” nay be made to insure fit.
I’m not sure what a bespoke suit costs, bit definitely in the thousands of dollars range.
John Lobb London (not the separate Hermes “John Lobb Paris”) bespoke shoes could cost up to £10,000 last time I checked.
‘The Outfit’ starring Mark Rylance shows a bit of the work.
>The same is done for bespoke shoes, although in those cases, custom shoe lasts may are likely made, and a pair of “pattern shoes” nay be made to insure fit.
some shops will make plaster casts of your feet to keep for future shoes
>some shops will make plaster casts of your feet to keep for future shoes
Plaster casts may be made, but usually the actual last is made from wood, or maybe nowadays cast from some type of impact resistant plastic or resin like urethane.
Lazier or cheaper bespoke shoemakers buy off the rack lasts, and modify the lasts by sanding or filing material away, or by adding extra material in areas with what usually seems to be leather.
There are specialty companies for the shoe trade that make hundreds of last styles in every size, that can be purchased to avoid completely making a last. Unfortunately, these companies usually refuse to sell to the general public.
Some suits from Saville Row might cost upwards of £30,000. At that point you're really just paying for the name, get a suit made in a parallel or perpendicular street and they're often just as good for a fraction of the price (still in the multiple thousands tho)
The British often look down on Italian made suits, with good reason most aren't as well made as British suits, also brands like Armani are for "new money" the really good designers who sell to the super wealthy typically don't advertise or promote themselves much, if you're rich enough to afford them you'll know who they are

Yes, that was the joke from Die Hard 1, were Hans comments on the Japanese executive’s suit.
Italian suits look too gaudy and cheap like even if you knew frick all about good men's fashion there'd still be something in Italian dress that would put you off from it. You can't see some fricker in an Armani suit and not think he's probably not showered for days. Literally bums overcompensating.
>So what? I'm just wondering if anyone knows. And tailored suits are probably affordable, bespoke are clearly for the rich
Made to measure dress shirts are a thing, and my city used to have at least two separate tailors who just made shirts.
I think the cost last I checked was $200-$300 per dress shirt.
Given what a decent designer off the rack shirt would cost, the price wasn’t that bad. Maybe double a top of the line off the rack dress shirt.
I presume there must have been custom suit tailors, but not sure who they were.
>How much is a good tailored suit nowadays?
“The price for an authentic, hand made bespoke Savile Row suit will start anywhere upwards of £3,500. When you factor in fabric choices, the cost can be more than £10,000. A bespoke suit from Alexandra Wood, starts from £5,000 and includes complete style and design guidance from start to finish”
https://alexandrawoodbespoke.co.uk/blogs/bespoke-tailoring/is-a-savile-row-suit-worth-the-investment
Huntsman, one of the better known Saville row tailors starts their pricing at £3,500 for “Made to Measure” rather than actual bespoke. An actual bespoke Huntsman suit apparently starts at £8,000.

Thanks.
go to india and you can get tailored suits pretty cheap
I have heard this, also Turkey and probably some other countries
basically countries with a bazaar market tradition. tailored suits will roughly cost about as much as a suit off the rack in europe, maybe a little more. but it's not going to be an order of magnitude more expensive, nor cheaper.
>trying too hard
Which I absolutely am. You guys go ahead and take the Mike Rowe toilet scrubber pill. I was born in the most powerful country in the world, with opportunities as far as the eye can see. Why in the frick would I disrespect everything my parents did and become a blue collar worker, or wear jeans to work and just look like a slob in general. I may not mow the lawn in a suit like Father Knows Best, but unless I'm going to Disneyland or on a hike/fishing, you best bet I'm wearing a suit. I can sort of get away with it because I'm a realtor, so an excuse would be that a client could call me and want to meet up at any time, but otherwise when asked I just say I want to look my best. Period.
Yeah and it's too close to toilet scrubber for my taste. I don't know man, I take pride in myself and how I present myself to the world. To each their own.
look, im saying a vest without lapels is the tasteful middle ground. you look like some sort of dinner napkin origami display with your folds within folds within folds.

>Man why weren't customizable action figures like these on the market when I was a kid? >Was toy technology not advanced enough back then?
I don’t know whether the figures had interchangeable hands, but there were high end figures for movies like Robocop and Terminator that I believe had interchangeable faces, back during the 1980s or early 1980s.
The figures might have been Japanese imports.
The figures were expensive from what I recall.
The local shop that had the figures was owned by a guy that may have owned some original Star Wars trilogy props.
I like wearing suits but I feel like I'd hate every job that requires you to wear one (or more importantly, I'd hate the people I'd have to work with).
>I still don't know how the science teacher from Sabrina the Teenage Witch ended up a failed director
Lots of actors try directing eventually.
Salli Richardson, the black actress from the ‘Eureka’ TV show has directed more than 100 TV show episodes, including a crapload of the Eureka episodes.
Directing, if the director is considered competent, is likely a way better and more reliable paycheck than acting, and the director can always take the occasional acting role if offered.
>If it was so great how come it got cancelled after one season?
Usually, crap advertising, or bad time slot, or it just wasn’t the right tone of show at the time, or plenty of other reasons.
Supposedly Apatow or Feig didn’t get along well with the executives at NBC, and there were time slot issues.
Plenty of excellent TV shows have gotten cancelled within a year or two or less, due to a bad time slot, or crap marketing, or plenty of other reasons.
The way US television series used to be ordered and aired was unforgiving and routinely led to the death of decent series.
For some reason during the press for Ghostbusters 2016 he had to have the women's cast step on his balls while he lay down on the ground in his homosexual suits. If this didn't tell you to avoid his Feigbusters to begin with I don't know what else would?
I feel like double breasted suits only look good on very tall skinny George Orwell looking types (I realize he's not wearing one in my picture, but he'd look better if he was.)

Wears, present tense? When did he get out of movie jail, I thought it was a life sentence this time
He made this thing last year.
There is no way the imagery for this wasn’t cribbed from the Tim Burton Alice film.
it's so generic it might be 10 different movies from the thumbnail.
Why does he only make woman movies?
He's gay.
