My FIL, who took great pride in his work, would respond to that by saying "He was NOTHING but a bum" because he didn't want his clothes tailored the way my FIL thought they should be done as witnessed by what you see in pictures. My husband's response was always, "Well, Dad, it could have been worse. You could have been his barber." My FIL did work for some very high level people during his time there. He often talked about a Japanese prince who he loved to do tailoring for because he was such a sharp dresser.

Btw, Tal, I agree with you. He would have been a very interesting person to meet. I could have looked past the hair and clothing.

Now that's a cool bit of NOTHING..
