You guys are too nice. Think what wonders Da Vinci or Rembrandt could have accomplished if they had lived today, and instead of painting and inventing things they had chosen to make fun of iGents! Just think!

The original poster drops by to ask how to wear a tight-fitting modern suit without a tie (he does this by posting 200 blurry pictures); iGents tell him he can achieve this look with a voluminous 1930s style business suit, and that he really should be wearing a tie. This is kind of like asking a group of learned e-gentlemen to recommend a fine watch and being told that what you REALLY want is a bicycle.

Sorry, that is the only square of its kind in the universe. Hope for better luck in the world to come.

The Great Black Suit Thread enters a manic phase, which kind of reminds me of the congress of demons from Paradise Lost. Except Paradise Lost was kind of entertaining.

"Pip pip, chappies, here's a rather ripping yarn about the old e-commerce - one website gave me the what-ho, while the other turned into a bally cock-up spit-spot! Rather let down the side on some deep-discount Derbies (what you Yanks call Oxfords!)! Cheerio!" It chills me to the bone to hear that an online retailer used a form email to respond to a routine website problem. There's just so much evil in the world.

Maybe you should be telling this to your therapist or parole officer? Maybe?

An iGent strikes the mother lode of horse hide Aldens in a thrift store - thank god he nabbed them to re-sell on ebay before some poor people saw them!

Doc is always a pisser when it comes to shoos.

Shoo fights are always fun, especially when it involves Alden and AE. lt's always a bonus when people end up bagging AE for being fat, always lots of funny stuff said.

l liked it when Doc Muller said AE's look like loaves of bread.

This wierd chap needs to stop writing so much rot. Better still...ban him!

Got a great deal on some spectacular ugly suede penny/wingtip loafers but they don't fit.  How do I stretch them?

The tragedy of the collapse of the American economy reaches even the leafy precincts of Greenwich, CT; Well dressed members of the hedge fund classes forced to buy shoes on sale, on-line, and even enter into common shopping emporia like Nordy's:
