Food for Thought on Menswear Ivan M C Chen Ph D

An accountant in the movie, Confession, said "It is not hard to do the right things. It is hard to know what the right things are. Once you know what the right things are, it is very hard not to do the right things." After spoke with hundreds of thousands of customers face-to-face over two decades, the author is not 100% sure the accountant is entirely correct. People don't always do the right things for various reasons. Many people do not pay much attention to their clothing perhaps because their life experience has taught them that dressing a little better or worse does not seem to have a determinate impact on their life. Most men cup their fingers to determine the proper length of the jacket. When they were told the method had been wrong perhaps for hundreds of years, they were stunned and did not know what else to do. They got lost when they were told it is wise to judge the length of jackets by the ideal man's figure while keeping the mass of the upper and lower body balanced. Many men want to wear their pants long but do not like the bottom front bunching up. Other men prefer no break in the front but do not like the high-water look in the back. They never realize they can have their pants cut short in the front and long in the back at the same time. The secret is to slant the bottom of the pants. Merriam and Webster Dictionary defines food for thought as "something that should be thought about or considered carefully."
