Supposedly, this personality type is on the wane due to more available indoor plumbing.

However, it certainly is a feature of the iGent persona. I saw one of those guys yesterday, resplendent in his awful, machine made light grey solid bespoke suit, full length TJ Maxx umbrella and light brown lace up dress boots. Looking around in a contrived unassuming air like a Lord Fontleroy. He fully expected the world to gasp at his taste and style.

It is bad enough when the neurotic keep their psychic revelations to themselves but when they band together and apply their need to neatly order things that they might leave their homes without checking to see that they've shut the lights off 20 times the damage can take the form of misinformation.

This is a chance to set the record straight and bust sartorial myths currently poisoning the Internet and to actually use some facts and knowledge to answer questions rather than an endless slew of "It's not what it used to be" statements.

Formby mentioned that there was a thread maligning the quality of the re-release of H Lesser cloth after that firm's purchase by Harrisons of Edinburgh. It did not take me long to see an unanswered cry for help from this  "Concordia" poster about the H. Lesser 11oz book and whether it was similar to Harrisons "Fine Classics" book. No one seems to know the answer to this. Well here it is.

Harrisons "Fine CLassics" book is a lower grade than H. Lesser 11/11.5oz fine worsted. Actually, H. Lesser 11/11.5oz fine worsted fabric is similar to Harrisons "Premier Cru" (Super 100s) fabrics but with different yarn choices and an absence of finish. Finish is a series of treatments to cloth which can give it a veneer not dissimilar to wood furniture. H. Lesser leaves the finish off because the London professional set do not like any shine whatsoever on their suits. Additionally, H. Lesser uses a lot more yarn color choices for it's fabrics, especially its blue cloths which gives a richer impression to the eye. It also gives a more old fashioned look to the wearer because the absence of finish is anachronistic to every other form of cloth used today for men's clothing. The fabric is more popular in the UK than the US because the English don't mind looking more mature. If you know what you are doing, it can be an amazing look.

Feel free to post questions from yourselves, cries for help from other places or potentially misleading or preposterous statements by "authorities" and the members will do their best to dispel OCD from the clothing world.
