Re: i still love trad
I honestly think it's great that everybody has an option in the grand spectrum of things & you do sum up Trad rather well, Mike.
It's a 'lite' style for a new generation.
How refreshing!

Naah, stealing trad from jazz is not refreshing to me. Its time to steal it back from those Charlie Manson types.
Fashion? Turn to the right....we are the goon squad and we're coming to town....beep! Beep!

Re: i still love trad
Sadly, I'm stuck in a place that's 6 metres below sea level and my pocket money only covers single malts and Rudy van Gelder Blue Note reeditions. And infact if I was in KY, I would be enjoying some bourbon on the rocks, with Buffy, Bunny, Noonoo, Nellie, Nadaar and Nin. But not necessarily in that order.

Mike:
you rock, blud.
A Questionable Gentleman:
you rock (gently) also.
The smiles you have raised have been immeasurable on this saddest of days.

Re: i still love trad
America's shame is that it lost touch with all things Traditional American and in oh so many ways. Trad is an attempt to engage again with all we lost. Jim says Trad is heavy handed and I reply it has to be to make the statement we want to make. The Ivy League are no longer anything to do with Trad in manners, mores, or dress sense.
I disagree with 99% of this forum however I will grant you that Jim knows about American clothes styles. His Ivy style and our Trad are different and for a very good reason: We are concerned with far more than clothes.

Mere folklore, fashion and romantic fantasy? A 21st century incarnation of Marie Antoinette's milkmaid costume?
Say it ain't so...

from your descriptions, your stuff never sounds whimsical at all - just regular unaffected American style.
Or would you like to be the Marie Antoinette of the clothing MBs (may be some stiff competition for that title)?

Achtung, old joke:
I'd like a pair of khakis with little embroidered mushrooms. Now that really just screams 'fun guy'.
