“This isn’t art; this is a craft” is a phrase used by Leonard (Mark Rylance), the hero of crime drama The Outfit, to describe his work. And he is, above all, precise about his work. Call him a cutter, never a tailor. He isn’t just some handyman who hems trousers and reattaches buttons – he’s a surgeon of textiles, an engineer with a needle and thread. There are 38 separate pieces that make up a well-cut suit. And in the coming together of those pieces, Leonard reckons his can size up the measure of a man.
