Stanford alumnus Juhn Maing wanted to dress professionally for work. Just one problem: He was skinny. His quest for properly fitting clothes took him on a journey through the world's tailoring traditions, from Savile Row (too structured) to Naples (too unstructured) and ultimately to Sicily (just right). Along the way, he became an accidental maven of menswear: a blogger, an author and, now, a business owner who brings traveling Sicilian tailors to the United States.
