Ours are lit from the front at head height, the way a window lights you. Clothes look in the room the way they will look in the street.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-4 mb-3\">Two mirrors, set at an angle<\/h3>\n<p>You cannot judge a jacket you have only seen from the front. The second mirror is angled at thirty degrees so the back of the shoulder is visible without contorting.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mt-4 mb-3\">The tailor is in on Tuesdays<\/h3>\n<p>Sleeve and hem alterations are free on anything bought the same day, and charged at cost after that. Most take twenty minutes; a jacket sleeve takes two days because it has to be done from the shoulder to keep the buttons right.<\/p>\n<p>Fitting appointments can be booked by telephone for the same day. There is no charge and no obligation to buy anything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two mirrors, honest light and someone who will tell you when a size is wrong.
