Re: Shirt Tales
Robert Gillotte, the manager of Turnbull & Asser's bespoke shirt department in New York, said that dealing with some of the new shirt connoisseurs can be wearying.
''We get some wise guys in here,'' he said. He adopted a mocking tone: ''How many stitches per inch is this shirt.'' ''Are the buttons real?''
I have always had a weakness for Turnbull and Asser for a number of reasons. They fit me almost perfectly OTR, the patterns are very appealing, and nobody else does a collar like Turnbull and Asser. The other stuff, Pink and Tyrwhitt are just pure shit in my opinion, and I wouldn't waste my money on them. The piece about wearing a fine English shirt with Dockers almost made me lose my meager lunch..

Re: Shirt Tales
I agree.. My amusement was with his description of the nouveau-connoisseurs as "wearying"..
