Re: Inane Post of the Day 2012: The End of the Sartorial World Edition

Jovan looks like a normal human male and his trousers look perfect, to my eyes. That madras jacket, on the other hand, does him no favours. 12BB does not appear to have normal human proportions and I never like seeing pants so tight they have stretch marks or so short they show ankle. I think some of the "ivy" guys have become fixated on ultra-skinny, super-slim clothes to their detriment (and an unfortuante similarity to the current crop of urban hipsters).

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?116037-Help-Shoulder-Dip-in-Hickey-Freeman-Presidential
The Curse of the Divot strikes an innocent Andylander. I'm sure that the lumpy shoulder (which appears to be undetectable except by advanced scientific equipment) has nothing to do with the Hickey Freeman Outlet staff "lowering the collar" of the suit, whatever that means.

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?116020-What-weight-wool
The Andyland Institute for Advanced Study gathers to attempt the monumental mathematical task of translating tweed weights from grams to ounces. If only they had taken my homeschool creationist clothing math correspondence course!

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?116011-Broken-Record-On-Bespoke-Tailoring
An imbecile asks for advice from bespoke tailors on whether he could hire a very patient man to recut a 46R jacket to a 40R. He wants to do this because the cloth used in the existing jacket has been discontinued. The first four or five responses begin with "Now I'm not a tailor, but..." and eventually Jovan scolds him for writing "cud" and "wud" instead of "could" and "would." It's like a Samuel Beckett play.

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?115974-Can-Cedar-Hangers-Harm
"Can Cedar Hangers Harm?" I clicked on the link hoping to find a 1960s era Department of Agriculture-produced pamphlet on the dangers of luxury. Instead I found an elite-level symposium on hanger materials, including words of wisdom from sartorial luminaries such as Alexander Kabbaz-Kelly Kabbaz Kabbaz, who would never hang one of his precious bespoke shirts on a cedar hanger because it might contract some kind of elm decline or herpes.

Frankly the discussion made me extremely uneasy. I had read somewhere on the internet that cedar oil repels moths and can, over years, transform ordinary leather shoes (barf) into shell cordovan. But I found it difficult to walk in shoes with the cedar shoe-trees still in them, and my colleagues at the group home made fun of me for leaving my cedar hangers in my shirts while wearing them. So I began eating cedar hangers and drinking eight glasses of cedar oil a day, hoping that my body would become suffused with beneficial cedar essences, and that I would eventually come to act as a kind of living shoe tree. Now the Andylanders tell me that cedar oil can HARM fine clothing! What a pickle!!!

Surely a hot wash could achieve the same results, at a fraction of the cost.

Can we make this a Jovan-free zone for, say, the next 10 years or so?  I'm happy to re-post the bathtub pic, but really, nothing else after that, please.

Ah so. Disappointing, in a way.
