/\  he was in the New York Times last night and it was reported that he spent hundreds of dollars on J. Crew polka-dot no-show socks and brought 20 pairs of them with him to Florence.

Somewhat cringe-inducing articles:

He and his followers are fine examples of the dumbness that pollute our society. He always looks like an unwashed grub, and quite frankly, l wouldn't even have him on the property or anywhere near me, instead, l would put him out in the middle of the bush digging holes and would employ the locals to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't step out of line.

Some guys are meant to give orders, and other guys are meant to take orders. This guy needs to be following orders and do as he's told, and the rabbits in the media need to stop giving this drip any  attention.

What he should be doing is get a job standing on the side of the freeway, and when someone's car breaks down he gets a 20 cent tip to change the person's tire on top of his $7 an hour wage. For spare cash he can go dig holes in the bush on weekends by doing 18 hour days. If l run the world that's how things would be. Some guys would get it easier, and some guys would be shown tough love in order to introduce them to manhood. I don't hate the Wooster, l want to do it because l care.

No sign of Crompie yet? He's normally all over Pitti like the proverbial rash: "Sockless in Pitti and at the wheel with Luca", following in the billowing wake of heavyweights such as Fluffer and Willie Wardrobe.

I love seeing these puckish enthusiasts and professional menswear gents in their spread collars, pocket squares, no socks, beards, square checks, sharp shoulders, exaggerated peak lapels, topknots, double monks, handbags.  It truly seems like there's something momentous happening there and they're all right in the thick of it.

Well spotted Carpu! But then again, there's the colour.....

I moved the slanted hem discussion onto its own thread as I think it deserves a wider discussion.
