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.

"Presidential salary: $400,000 And he is now wearing all hand tailored suits."

Well, it's like I've said previously in other posts in the past:
Obama and his Democrats are stealing from the US Treasury.
Don't be surprised to find out that Obama is a multi-millionaire when he leaves office. They are socking away the money overseas. In addition to outright theft, there's payoff money acquired from various sources plus kickbacks.

A 40 inch chest on a 6’2” man? He’s a little pixie. Truly, though, he does two things well: Reads from the teleprompter and wears really nice suits.

Øbama already is a multi-millionaire from those two fiction books that were ghost-written for him.

That’s my been my lifelong dream of a having a custom-tailored suit or two. Maybe I can afford one next time that Singapore tailor comes to town.
