Re: Obama's Inaugural Wardrobe
How about Hickey-Freeman? It's owned by HSM, and I thought it was a higher-end product than HSM, yet if Obama wishes to display a specious image of "Average Joe" frugality in his clothing purchases, it would still be a lot less than Oxxford.

Re: Obama's Inaugural Wardrobe
Oh dear, it just occurred to me that Obama's notch-lapel tuxedo will be another arrow in Snoozer's quiver whenever he delivers the Standard Cruiser Post on black die when he defends his J.C. Penney notch-laped tuxedo!
As to Cruiser, I have never really been able to make my mind up whether he is for real or he is some sort of sock puppet/troll.

Interesting he decided to go with Hart Schaffner Marx, based in Chicago, and not the more upmarket, also Chicago-based, Oxxford.

Re: Obama's Inaugural Wardrobe
Could it be he does not go with Oxxford since that is who GWB used?
