Showing Original Post only (View all)LOL!!!! The White House tailor threw Trump under the bus [View all]
Trump's look is not my fault, says White House tailor as he insists he doesn't know where President got his poorly fitted state banquet attire from - while Savile Row expert reveals: 'It's wrong in every way!'
Ismet Dil's company has provided outfits to American Presidents for a century
Mr Dil, 69, tailor at Scogna Formal Wear, said he did not recognise Trump's suit
Patrick Murphy, from Savile Row tailor Davies and Son, said 'everything you can imagine' was wrong with suit
The official tailor to the White House has insisted he's not to blame for President Donald Trump's ill-fitting tuxedo at the state banquet with the Queen.
Ismet Dil, 69, whose company has provided dinner jackets and tails to America's leaders for a century, claimed he didn't recognise the suit, which was heavily mocked online and criticised for being 'wrong in every way' by a Savile Row tailor.
'This is my profession. Its not right,' Mr Dil, the master tailor at Scogna Formal Wear told The Times.
'I dont care if he is president. Someone is responsible somebody helped him get dressed like that.'
Trump chose to wear a ludicrously long white waistcoat, paired with a tux jacket that stopped halfway up his midriff and featured overlong sleeves.

I don't see the hand of a tailor in any of his wardrobe, so I think he just gets expensive suits...

That super long waistcoat is like his long ties. He thinks they make him look thinner.

When you're the president and your tailor says, "Don't look at me. *I* didn't dress him!"

The tailor should post this picture and say, "This man -- this is my work. The clothes, that is."

I'm okay with that. If a guy's bow tie is a little askew, that probably means he tied it himself.

If choking is, for some reason (?) your worry, you're better off with a real bow tie.

He probably asked Melania "how do I look?" and she responded "I really don't care, do you?"
