James works one store over. He's one of the trusty bike mechanics who I see test-drive their clients' bikes around the block every so often.
It was a nice surprise to see a familiar face walk in.
"I need a suit for my friend's wedding," said James with a big smile.
"Oooooh," I shot out of my chair wide-eyed and grinning. "This is going to be fun!" I thought. The reason is because I've never seen James in anything other then his very casual work clothes or without grease on his hands. Haha!! I knew it would be a total transformation.
Because of James' naturally thin body frame, I knew immediately he would look perfect in a slim fit suit.
Lo and behold, the black suit we made for him was indeed the perfect style and fit on him! I also really dig his high-shine shoes.
We were all pretty excited... Actually, it was impossible to contain our excitement. We were happy. James was happy. He was soooo happy that he ran over to the bike shop to show his colleagues, haha:
I love my job. I love seeing the smiles on people's faces when I first show them their suits and then watching the smiles grow even bigger once they try on their suits.
Thank you for modeling for us, James! You look so awesome in that black skinny suit. Speaking of awesome, I have this to show you all. James showed it to me on his phone and it made me laugh:
On certain phones, voice messages can be transcribed into texts. The quality of the texts is dependent on the caller, the background noise and the microphone.
James showed me a message that someone at Balsam Tailors left on his phone. What shows is that "awesome Taylor" called. Obviously it was "Balsam Tailors". Imagine how confused James was when he got this message. :P
