GREENSBORO, N.C. Charles French s How to tie a bow tie was once the No. 1 video on YouTube. It currently has over 4.1 million views. I have a photo someone sent to me of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert on Twitter using my YouTube video, said French, a former active duty U.S. Marine turned tailor.
For French, clothing has long been a passion. He recalls being at Kiser Middle School and worrying his parents for the latest Jordache jeans. I loved to dress, said French, 51. Loved to look good in my clothes.
As a tailor, French is among a dying breed a skilled craftsmen who s a reminder of a bygone era.
