If it's long enough, then no jumper is going to make any difference. :-)
Besides, I don't wear jumpers with a suit. This is where a mobile phone
comes in handy. You just grab the thing out and spin away, with your back
to the crowd (as one does when an unexpected call "just happens" to come
in) and while you're pretending to take the call, you use your free hand to
raise the drawbridge.
Or in the middle of London, you might just as well grin, and say loudly,
"OOOPS! My flies are undone! Silly me!" And then do them up in full view
of all.
Not an eyelid will be batted.

Yep. Mind, that was a long time ago - programming language has become much
better at self-diagnosis since then. I hope. Or if it hasn't, then think
of all the stuff floating around in space just waiting for the glitch to do
something naughty and steer a satellite earthwards.
When I did computing at school, we used punch cards which had to be fed
through a thing like a cheque card thingy. Completed programmes (usually on
stacks of cards six inches thick) were sent off to King's College to be run
on the computer there, and returned with a printout of the programme and how
it ran - usually in 10,000ths of a second. One of mine came back reading,
"Pink End Card missing, programme terminated after ten minutes by operator."

THAT WAS A PERFECTLY SERIOUS ANSWER! Most of the brushes sold as "sable"

It doesn't work out as expensive as you might think - it does take time to
finish something, after all! I've just finished my fastest portrait ever
(10 days from priming the canvas to signing it off). In case you're
wondering - it was a pic of the lady who'd texted me in the bog today.
There's gratitude for you.

practical to expect to be able to paint the subject in the same room. All
the more so in this case, since the subject doesn't even live in the same
country!
