Misadventures at the Lao tailor

A couple of months ago Jesse (fashionable coworker) convinced a tailor from Bangkok to come up and take measurements from almost every guy in the office, and then their new outfits and shirts were sent to Vientiane from Bangkok.

Nick and I didn't order anything, for different reasons (women's tailoring is more finicky so I'd want more fittings, and Nick ran out of time to get measured before the guys left to return to Bangkok). So Nick decided to try a local Lao tailor from a couple blocks over, and ordered a couple new shirts and brought over a work polo to be taken in a bit at the sides. 

The result was much cheaper (something like $20/ shirt, rather than $60), but also way more hilarious :


The brand new shirts look okay... But the work polo is definitely way too tight around his middle now.

On the plus side it will probably fit me great ?
