Interesting article, easy on the eyes, and nice work if you can get it! He must know just about everything about men's fit and fashion, but I wonder...can he SEW?

Interesting story! I've heard of a "fit model" but didn't really know what they did. Who would think somebody could make a living trying on clothes? Thanks for sharing this article!

I agree--easy on the eyes! It's nice to see a model who isn't a young kid, too.

My youngest daughter went to high school with a girl who worked as a fit model for one of our local (Seattle) labels, but I can't remember who. Beautiful girl whose looks were totally wasted behind the scenes.

I was a fit model at age 18 for Union Bay in Seattle in the late 80's. I remember showing up alone and feeling so intimidated by all the girls applying. I was floored they chose me! Unfortunately or not, I didn't realize how high paying the job could potentially become down the road and left Seattle to travel with my boyfriend. I understand they can earn upward to $300/hr nowadays, certainly didn't pay like that back then. I visited many states while on the road, many rich memories, so it is difficult to say I have regrets I wonder if I could get back into it with this mama fluff I've got going on these days?
