Now I've seen everything. The copy is priceless.

I would sell that in Japan for... Lots!
I admire the cynicism of those selling it. This is what Trad is!
What role is there left for the old Brahmins, but to market themselves as a Disney attraction? Soon Weejun-World will open down in Florida.
Shrewd move - Very WASP. Nice!

Seriously, I do think that this is the future. For 'Trad', for 'Fogey', for those seeking that 'Brideshead' look...
It's the 'selling of dreams' again isn't it? (Thanks Ralph!)

Ralph should step back from the clothes a bit and produce a glossy picture book each year of his offerings, supplemented by a movie with his clothes walking around. Boatloads of people would subscribe in a flash, at almost any price. You know, just gorgeous models wearing gorgeous clothes in gorgeous locations doing gorgeous things (thanks, Pats).

It's rather creepy and poignant at the same time.

Even though it's a send-up parody, this guy's reviews are worth reading.
