Clothes for Butches

I was delighted to find this article about clothing designers    catering to female-bodied people with masculine personalities who choose to wear men's clothing.

EDIT:
technoshaman has sponsored my Fledgling Grace poem "Needlework."  It examines similar issues of wardrobe changes and tailoring caused by people suddenly sprouting wings.

Very cool! I've known many a woman who looked awesome in a well-tailored suit, but finding someone to *actually do the tailoring*... well, perhaps that's getting a bit easier, thanks Be. Bespoke clothing is nearly a lost art in America, and I suspect dying on Saville Row as well... I should like to see it make a renaissance...

After all, Andrew Johnson, who ended up in my hometown after the unpleasantness that was his presidency, was a tailor, both before and after... it is an honourable profession. (His shop has been preserved by the Park Service, along with the house a block away.)

>>I've known many a woman who looked awesome in a well-tailored suit,<<

Agreed. I like suits for certain business situations, and I strongly prefer trousers to skirts.

Agreed. "Needlework" in my Fledgling Grace series deals with this issue, although it hasn't been sponsored yet.

That's LJ butchering posts again. It seems to be deleting links, usernames, and letters or words in the vicinity of links or usernames.
