介绍（中）	欧洲各地的绅士都穿着与这套相似的三件套天鹅绒西装，以表明他们是有物质的人。中产阶级和贵族的西装在所用材料的质量和工艺标准上有着惊人的差异。坎贝尔先生于1747年在《伦敦商人》杂志上撰文，列出了一流裁缝的要求：他应该有一双快速的眼睛来偷袖子的切口、皮瓣的图案或一眼就能剪好的形状；任何一个Bungler都可以在他面前有图案的时候切出一个形状，但一个好的Workman在经过一辆战车时会用眼睛看它…。他必须能够，不仅能为英俊和身材匀称的人剪裁，而且能在大自然没有设计的地方塑造出一个好的形状…。他的手和头必须合在一起。他一定是个不错的切割工，以优雅的姿态完成他的工作…。如果不是因为质量方面的延迟付款，他们赚了一大笔钱，并将在上面筹集遗产<尽管衣着华丽，贵族们对裁缝的账单却毫不在意，经常一次拖延数年。
介绍（英）	Gentlemen all over Europe wore three-piece velvet suits, similar to this one, to show that they were men of substance. The suits of the middle classes and of the aristocracy were strikingly different in the quality of the materials used and in the standards of workmanship. A Mr. Campbell, writing in The London Tradesman in 1747, listed the requirements for a first-rate tailor: He ought to have a quick Eye to steal the Cut of a Sleeve, the Pattern of a Flap, or the Shape of a good Trimming at a Glance; any Bungler may cut out a Shape when he has a Pattern before him, but a good Workman takes it by his eye in the passing of a Chariot…. He must be able, not only to cut for the Handsome and Well-shaped, but to bestow a good shape where Nature has not designed it…. His hand and his head must go together. He must be a nice Cutter and finish his work with Elegance…. They make a handsome Penny and would raise Estates thereon were it not for the Delays in Payment among the Quality. Although splendidly dressed, the aristocracy paid little heed to their tailors’ bills, often dragging their credit on for years at a time.
