Have to disagree; Mr. True is clearly stating what he wants. The tailor responds in a sideways manner, telling him what he actually wants, attempting to control his mind and preferences.
Also, coming from working in a clothing store: if a customer asks for advice, 'how does this look?', that's definitely when you should give fashion advice. If they are making a complaint about the fit, you should just immediately offer something more desirable if it's available, that's the worst time to give any kind of feedback on their appearance.
