Tailor: Obama prefers soft Italian fabric for his handmade suits

Martin Greenfield has been making suits for presidents and Hollywood stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio for decades, so when it came time for the Obama White House to look for a presidential tailor, he was the obvious pick.

In his new biography, Measure of a Man: From Auschwitz Survivor to Presidents, Greenfield wrote that Obama aides brushed aside his request to measure the president and instead shipped him an old suit to copy.

“Martin Greenfield doesn’t copy anybody’s suits. Everybody copies Martin Greenfield’s suits,” he said in the book provided to the Washington Examiner.

The White House caved in, and Greenfield was invited in, where he found Obama smiling and charming. “He’s built like a fitting mannequin, a 40 long with an impressive 33-and-a-half waist, which makes dressing him extremely enjoyable,” said Greenfield, who also dressed Bill Clinton.

The people who “represent” the people think of themselves as royalty. And there’s no reason they shouldn’t. We keep re-electing them.

The only thing he is qualified for — is serving poolside umbrella drinks to middle aged women on a cruise ship.


I think he’d prefer serving the boys on a gay cruise ship.

I’d feel sorry for any shipmate who was assigned to share quarters with bathhouse Barry.

A 40 inch chest with an almost 34 inch waist is a six inch drop and not exactly athletic or even particularly svelte. Ten inches would be. I suspect Mr. Greenfield gushes due more to political affinity than anything else.

Ah yes, a genuine man of the people. For the little guy, and all that.

The first lady has no input. Obama told his tailor, "Michelle never gets involved with my fashion business."

Bwaaaaahahaaaa! And clearly no one ever gets involved with hers!!!

I’d like to see Bathhoude Barry share a cell in Federal Prison with five or six 300 pound animals. They could flip a coin to see who “honeymooned” with him every night.
