They all are. Which makes it even more surprising and perhaps disturbing that none of them are capable of reflection and adaption

Aw bless his little heart. Soooo cute! And the little Policeman picture was just adorable, wasn't it?

If I had one I'd dress it up too. You could take it out at dinner parties and make it do little dances!










NB. I'm only wading in now because I know he'll read it.

Aren't they all? Manton, Foo, Crusty, Labar, Jovan, Vox, Spoo, Drip, ad nauesum.

The last couple of pages of this thread have been interesting.

The Andyland Institute for Advanced study tries to figure out what "high armholes" are. I had always thought that they were large-diameter holes, often faced with some kind of durable padding (ideally waterproof), set into the stall about 20 inches above and to the side of the glory hole, but apparently this isn't the widely accepted definition.

Objection, the question assumes facts not in evidence. The level of quality in many of the prestige brands you have listed is a joke.

Did you guys know that Cuffers is a lawyer????

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/foru … ndkerchief
An iGent fairy tale, in which an iGent wishes to spin his ill-fitting thrift store shirts into gold. Our intrepid OP bought a bunch of "vintage" Charles Tyrwhitt shirts from Goodwill, found that they do not fit, and now wishes to cut them up and have his pitiful wife tack down the edges so that he can turn them into luxury bespoke handkerchiefs. This is certainly what I think of when I think of "bespoke" and "luxury."

A delightful thread in which all the wisest Andylanders attempt to convince "afuturestrader" (who describes himself as "tall, slim-waisted, broader-shouldered" - do go on! Perhaps monsieur wishes to describe himself emerging from Monsieur's shower or bath?) that he can walk into Men's Wearhouse and get the exact same suit that Prince William was wearing at some photo-op. The OP likes the look and has approached this suit-buying experience with every ounce of the financial acumen that he brings to his day job -

I am confident the Prince's suit comes from Savile Row but have no current plans to travel to London. My goal is to find an inexpensive suit with a similar silhouette which can either purchased within or mailed to the U.S.. If wearing this suit silhouette proves comfortable then I will move up the quality and price scale.

Soundly planned! This is how I buy food - I start out at Arby's, and then if I like the dining experience there I gradually move up to the Bouteille D'Or. Also, I ask the waiters at Arby's to refer to me as "Prince William" and I am saving up to get head surgery so that I look like Prince William.

I'm laughing my arse of at these last few posts. Comedy gold lads!

The first guy to call someone else "counselor" loses.

He pauses to make a bizarre derail on "gourmet shaving," in which he claims that he gave up shaving with a safety razor because he was spending "at least an hour of [his] day preparing to shave, lathering up properly, shaving, re-lathering (it’s about beard REDUCTION with each pass – said all the you tube videos), shaving again, re-lather for one more pass, face melting aftershave experience, finding the styptic pencil to doctor up [his] facial trauma, etc." This is hardly surprising, since shaving with a safety razor is a complex task, on par with manually unlocking an automobile or shelving one's books with the spines all facing the same direction.

l always told you that place was full of freaks. Hopefully it doesn't have a wife and kids, it would be sad if it did.

More sad iGent retail fuckery - an Andylander, on his way out to "do some work on the beach rental property", wonders if he should stop by the Brooks Brothers clearance center to buy clothing to "flip." Why is it that iGents love to use "the" instead of "my"? They refer constantly to "the wife" "the girlfriend" "the BMW" "the irregular size 6AAAA shell cordovan PTBs." What's the appeal?

Popeye already mentioned this thread, I think, but in it you can see DukeGrad go full-on Burroughs about Allen-Edmonds and "mexmaking."

Noted bespoke suiting expert The Great Twizz lays down the law on 3/2 rolls; senior member "hardline24" (who reports his location as "somewhere between Princeton and Penn") mentions that he has his alterations person convert 3 button jackets to 3/2 rolls by sticking a fake buttonhole on one lapel and a useless button on the other.

Expect Flannel Salopettes with 2" turnups.

'Too much skiing on this thread' says he.

Most relative beginners just beg, steal or borrow something that fits OK until they get clued up.
