What to bring
The shoes you’ll wear with it
The kurta you’ll wear underneath
Your old jacket, if you like its sleeves

Only the days he’s in the studio, Mondays closed
What to bring, so the fit is checked with the real shoes
One sheet, kept for life.
Drawn like a cutter’s pattern: every line is where the tape actually went.
