He will also ban critics. But I don't think we need criticise since as Shooey has implied the shirt damns itself: the octagonal bottom to the shirt pocket is completely wrong for the collar, collar buttons, cuffs, and side yoke detailing.

Which goes to show something, no doubt!

Once the formula is set, it's not that difficult to make a shirt.

It is a fucking white shirt made by a pretentious douchebag with no sense of humor whatsoever. Congratulations!

He's a disco superhero, man.

- Improved my diet & am feeling the benefits, Mate. My stomach is still pretty crock, but keeping things raw and/or simple DOES help. Anything too processed is poison to me now and obviously always was.

Hip Hip Shooray to you, Mate.  Have a good day.

Is it? He's getting them used to tailored clothing early. Those two little boys look very proper in their clothing. I am getting a similar windowpane tweed suit done up; I'll probably get less wear out of it than they will.

Somehow he looks less horrible than the Loungers usually do, maybe because he's actually middle aged and that look looks better on older men. I think he should get a shovel and clean the snow off his deck and not trod around in it wearing nice shoos.

American Dad is kind of an instructive example in getting what you pay for with bespoke (or, I suspect, "bespoke"). Everything looks pretty awful in Fridge's outfit, and it also looks cheap and thin. If you compare him with Cromps, who also looks lumpy and uncomfortable, you can still tell that Cromp's poorly cut garbage is made from nice materials and with some degree of skill, whereas Fridge's clothing looks like it was made by space aliens for a regional production of The Importance of Being Earnest.

So I guess the lesson is, ultra-expensive Savile Row bespoke looks better than bad Korean bespoke, even if the Savile Row bespoke isn't that good. With insights like this I suppose I could write an award-winning style blog of some kind of horrible vanity book!

I think American Dad is not as weedy as Cromps and that helps offset the clothes. Sure he could lose some weight, but the stuff fits him OK though I am no fan of belted backs on jackets. It is more dress up than Cromps, but that is his thing, as with the zoot suits in the past. Cromps could 'rock' the Steve Buscemi thing if he really wanted to.

Tripe now:



Tripe in 20 years after he takes his fusion of classic American and modern Neopolitan styling to the logical end?
