Cute.

[okie01]

Ain't it interesting how only the GOP Presidents seem to be concerned with and courteous to "the little people"...???

He does great work, those suits our president wears are perfect.

Clinton was too in love with himself to speak to a tailor, now you know what he thought about the common working man--nothing.

I didn't realize that this was a very dated piece and you can pull if you'd like.

[Humidston]

Last year, he [Bush]told Rep. Jim Ramstad (R) of Minnesota during a meeting at the White House that he “should see my tailor, who works around the corner.” Ramstad did and bought a dark blue cashmere suit, which drew compliments from colleagues on the House floor.

Pardon my asking, but how in the heck can representatives manage to afford a $2000-$3000 suit on their salaries??? Someone in the know once told me it's all a question of POWER in DC and I'm beginning to believe him.

“Clinton was very demanding, cold and always occupied,” he said. “He was unaware of me completely.”

There probably wasn't a camera anywhere nearby.

Like Reagan and GW, I'm a stickler for quality fabric.  I used to go to a factory sale twice a year where suits were made in Elizabeth, NJ.  I would get them professionally tailored and looked good for a fraction of what you'd pay at Nordstroms for the same suit. But the factory closed down and the need for suits at work has waned.

 I've always wanted to get a custom made suit but my disposable income just isn't there for that type of luxury.  When I'm CEO, I'm sure I'll splurge!

Im shocked that clinton did not fire the white house tailor staff and bring in all his flunkies Ala the travel office

“Clinton was very demanding, cold and always occupied,” he said. “He was unaware of me completely.”

He should consider himself lucky.

Those who clinton was aware of ended up either raped, used and discarded, or dead.

Thanks for the post. Interesting and not dated unless this guy has left the White House position since then.

[hoosiermama]

ENjoyed it the first time and even more the second time it was read. Thanks for reposting it.

"If people turn to look at you on the street, you are not well dressed." -- Beau Brummel

I admit, I hadn't thought much one way or the other about the President's clothes till I say this article. To the extent that it crossed my mind, it was something like "gee, he has a lot of navy blue suits." But of course, that's the point. Anything less than perfection would be distracting. If you're the Prez, you want people to listen to your words, and not focus on what you're wearing.

Good job by Mr. de Paris. He earns an exemption from French-bashing.

"He worked and slept there for the next 18 years while his business grew, thanks to word of mouth from satisfied customers. One of them was the late Rep. Otto Passman (D-La.), who introduced him to then-Vice President Johnson shortly before President Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963. “I altered suits for him when he was vice president and made two suits for him after he became president,” de Paris said."

COULD THIS TAILOR'S ADMISSION BE THE THREAD THAT FINALLY UNRAVELS THE FABRIC OF MOTIVES AND CONNECTIONS BEHIND THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATIONS?

[ladyinred]

Interesting read with the little tidbits of gossip. Of course Clinton was rude to one of the little people, but that is no surprise.

[Eternal_Bear]

a good article...

[MHT]

So why does the article include the name and age of the person with whom he lives? Is that a man's name and this supposed to be some sort of preamble about the President doing business with gays, etc?

[MinuteGal]

This was a post I enjoyed immensely. I'm always interested in the little behind-the-scenes things that go on in the White House.

I'll tell you one thing, I'll be looking at the Prez in a new way now when he's making speeches in a spiffy suit. Counting the number of buttons and all that, LOL.

Viva Monsieur de Paris, ooo la la.
