I work in a clothing store with a tailor. I’m helping an older couple pick out some new suits for the husband, and while he’s in the fitting room the wife is asking about alterations.
Customer: “Can you alter a leather jacket for him?”
Me: “It would depend on whether it needed to be taken in or let out.”
Customer: “Let out.”
Me: “We can’t do that with leather because the holes from the old seams will always be visible.”
Customer: “But leather is skin, so it will heal, right?”
I take a moment…
Me: “The healing process ends when the leather leaves the cow…”
