Good read. Hopefully people like Frew start getting more recognition. With blogs like Put This On and others gaining momentum, the value of well-made clothing is starting to get talked about a bit more these days. Thanks for sharing the link, Eric. Good read.

So, hard to say if this item found me or I sought it out. Nonetheless, I think it's an interesting layer to the concept of craft via the bespoken suit (something I don't know much about in either the commissioning, wearing, finding, etc...) http://goo.gl/xX4qx Chris, this is one of those topics that is sort of rolls around like a catchy tune.

I cannot help but wax philosophical here. :) Craft is also one of those activities that, while it can provide for you (and a company) financially, also ends up providing one with a rich life. Treating a profession like a craft makes you happier, produces better work, and satisfies the spirit for a lifetime. Excellent post.

"Is contemporary craft the ability to finish and perfect or to iterate and attempt." I think it has to be both; it's a constant striving towards perfection which means giving your all to your current work and being hungry to try again regardless the outcome. Thanks, Eric.

Craft is a noble pursuit. As you detailed, it does come at a price for life is cruel for the craftsman. Economics teaches us the last makers of anything tend, by definition, to be the most craft-driven. The last buggy-whip maker had a great deal of pride and probably could name his price to his (few) very appreciative customers. So, I wonder, what will define 'craft' of digital communication? I think those 8 markers may distill or mutate into 5 involving detail awareness, persistence and malleability. Is contemporary craft the ability to finish and perfect or to iterate and attempt?
