Fridge doesn't seem like an evil or condescending iGent, but he is a bit of a narcissist - he's posted seven threads (what he refers to as a "series") on his boxy Korean bespoke (or "bespoke") in the main Ask Andy forum. I agree that the zoot suit looks better-fitting and more comfortable than his other outfits, and he certainly did make it clear that it was an amusing costume piece, not serious business wear. He must not be a true iGent.

Ol' Fridge seems to be turning Cruiserland into his personal blogsite.
Anyone else here think that herringbone jacket of his looked awfully short, at least in the top (first) photo?

Here's a real corker:
http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?t=104348
Simonfoy, who comes off as VERY nice (and has quite a tragic backstory), wants to know why his neighbor makes fun of the way he dresses. iGents come out of the woodwork with the standard "don't listen to the DEGENERATE SLOBS in their SLOBWEAR" blandishments (I added my own more enigmatic support). PMRuby follows the tide of good cheer and casual class condescension with a rather thoughtful, overlong post:
http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1090255&postcount=25
Ruby articulates something that I have often thought: these iGents who dress radically out of step with everyone around them are not, in fact, well-dressed. He connects this criticism to the typically dopey iGent "gentleman" ideal, but I think he's basically right - don't wear tails to work at Burger King, and if you work in the mailroom don't come in dressed like you're in a regional production of "Glengarry Glen Ross."
The iGents do not take kindly to this argument, miss the point, and immediately begin accusing PMRuby of advocating SLOBWEAR and the LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. The payoff comes in this outre 3rd page post:
http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1090499&postcount=51
In which an ex-pat iGent complains about people ogling his pith helmet (really) and claims that a group of men threw their underwear at him during a lunch. What a lonely fellow.
ALSO - forum cutie-pie Peak and Pine has withdrawn from the fora, to contemplate the awful vastness of the Maine forest I assume: http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1087149&postcount=75

The forums have trained him so well: tell him to jump and he'll ask `how high'.

The ultimate product of the forums. He never had to think for himself, the forums always did it for him.
(l have no problem with Al, it's just an observation i've made over half a decade).
