| All the Taoist robes and manteaus |
| have been ordered from Chinese Clothing Online in Hong Kong. |
| They are fairly prompt and they make what we ask for. |
| As noted elsewhere, we want to tuck ~30 location sensors (each smaller |
| than a dime) in the satin hem materials used in the various manteaus. |
| In the meantime, the cinematographer, psychologist and educator |
| felt that we needed a more handsome model willing to stand long |
| minutes in three layers of clothes under hot lights while the pose is |
| been micro-adjusted by vague and sometimes contradictory orders. |
| The general agreement is hems are needed at the bottom of the |
| garments to clearly mark the boundary. Also inside the cuffs. I have |
| emailed to see if the two ties located at chest level have a symbolic |
| function: everyone thought they weaken the verticality (with a nod to |
| Professor Joshua C. Taylor of the University of Chicago [1917-1981]). |
| The nice people at Chinese Clothing Online did explain how to wash, |
| dry and iron the manteaus. They offered to send some hemming satin, |
| but we are hoping we can match the colors here. |
