Episode 1
The Batch That Got Scrapped
Grant rejects the current models for heavy frames, overdone muscle, and a lack of sharpness, ordering the entire batch discarded and new ones brought forward.

The story
The short version. Boys' Love, 65 episodes on YourChannel. Noah Miller came to Chicago to cover rehabilitation and legal expenses tied to his younger brother's custody hearing, and he applies to Ashford House, the exclusive menswear and fragrance house, to use his sewing skills.
Episode one introduces Grant Ashford as the man who controls Chicago's demanding menswear scene: he scrapped a whole batch after rejecting its frame, muscle, and sharpness, ordering new models brought forward. Noah Miller, who sews performance costumes by day and hotel laundry by night, enters the same building determined to reach the job that can secure his brother's care and keep him out of an out-of-state foster system. His inner goal sets the stakes: get inside Ashford House, or lose the only chance he sees.
Episode four pushes the mismatch further: Grant describes the resident-muse role as calibration to skin temperature and scent, while Noah insists he came to be a tailor, never agreed to body testing, and notes the scheduled sensory tester was waiting outside the door. Off-stage pressures mount as Grant's former partner and the exclusive iris-root supplier angle for control of the collection, which gives the personal clash its business stakes.
Episode three replays the meeting as Grant bypasses the usual process; the collection is behind schedule and he prefers to source materials himself. He asks Noah to remove his jacket and begins taking measurements on the spot, overriding Noah's expectation of a standard assistant-tailor interview. The gap between what Noah applied for and what he is handed becomes the episode's friction.
