I think you're right on that one. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. Humans don't fit into squares. It doesn't have to be perfectly tailored, but it should be fitted to something resembling a human body. I do think it could work, but it needs a LOT of work and refinement.

I find it ironic that us "Salt of the Earth" types take it upon ourselves to tailor garments we can't afford to have tailored, and do all we can to look our best, but those who have the resources to have things custom made will wear things that fit like my older brother's hand-me-downs...only worse.
