So, when one goes to the Fabric Market here in Puxi, Shanghai (pronounced Poo Shi) you can get any material you want and you can get anything that you want made. You can get pants, suits, coats, ties, leather jackets, cashmere coats,shirts and even tuxedos made and tailor fitted to you. You simply go, pick out your material and have whatever you want made. You can even take an item into the shop and have it made into a different color or even a different material. At some places you can negotiate and others you cannot. But as it is with all things in Shanghai....space is at a premium. As a result, there are no dressing rooms for you to try on your finished goods and what happens is the shop owner or a shop worker will hold up a sheet for you to try on your new clothes!!!! It is important, I think that one wears the best underclothes possible, because you just don't know when and if the person holding up your privacy screen will inadvertantly drop it!!!! I have even seen where the dressing rooms are in the corner of a hall. So here you see, a picture of Larry Habitz, in trying on his new pants that he ordered from Jason's shop. His first experience was a positive one, because the shop worker only dropped the sheet once!!!!!
All for now!!!!
