Kinda boring this morning:

Celebrating the grandeur and artistry of the Great Alden Shoe Manufacturing Corporation in inimitably awkward Andyland style.

A thread on clothing pet peeves simmers down into the typical Andyland gumbo of bizarre opinions and bad advice. I've come around on Earle of Ormonde, he seems OK, and I actually agree with some of Cruiser's points in the thread (he finds it annoying that guys who have never left Wisconsin are saying "braces" and "waistcoat"). Watch for some truly arcane ("wrong") explanations from high-priced streetfighter Cuff Daddy. The thread left me with two questions:

- Do cuffs (or in Forum British, turn-ups) actually weight the pants leg and make it hang straighter? I've had both cuffed and plain pants for many years and never really noticed a difference, but I certainly have noticed plenty of monster 2-3" cuffs on these forumites.

- Forum cutie-pie Peak and Pine claims to have stiffeners sewn into his pants cuffs - is this a sign of moral or mental decay? Does he need razor-sharp cuffs in Maine? Am I missing out here? Should I have my tailor (I use a guy in Sri Lanka because he's $2.00 cheaper on most alterations) sew stiffeners into all my clothes?

Not even sure this is inane but I rarely get surprised by what shows up on the message boards anymore so here you go:  http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=169939

Trad IS Japanese. Plus they do it better.

... And even the term is from them.


You'd think they'd know that on the Trad forum...
