***
The Emperor has no clothes is an idiomatic phrase that refers to a situation where people are afraid to criticize something or someone that is widely admired or respected, but is actually flawed or lacking. The phrase comes from a story by Hans Christian Andersen, where a vain emperor is fooled by two swindlers who claim to make him a suit of clothes that are invisible to anyone who is unfit or stupid.

The phrase "cut from the same cloth" is used to describe two or more people who are very similar in their character, attitudes, or behavior. The phrase comes from the idea that if two people's garments were made from the same bolt of cloth, they would share similar qualities3. The phrase is often used to describe people who share similar backgrounds or temperaments.
