The Axe Andy peerage knits up the raveled sleeve of care for some moron who bought a pair of defective Park Avenues. Cuff Daddy stops by to inform the crowd that although shoes from The Great Allen Edmonds etc. aren't "the same thing as a pair of Cleverly's" they're still OK for the black suit wearing non-elite. Cuff Daddy is Andyland's only true Internet Bigtimer.

iGents worry that the guy from The Matrix will come and shoot them if they order TM Lewin's "Six shirts for 43GBP" deal.

"I think it would be wonderful if Allen-Edmonds began producing women's shoes - it's not because I want my girlfriend to step on my neck while wearing a pair of dainty, feminine Delrays though! No one said anything about that!!"

This whole thread is pretty great, but check this post from the Iron Igent, R.M. Bantista. This worthy realizes that wearing quality clothing means that you have to talk like a character from a John Cheever short story. In this case he appears to have chosen a Cheever character who has suffered a debilitating blow to the head:

"I would not hesitate to wear them with a blue double breasted Blazer, a maroon fedora or homburg if i did not elect to wear a wool sailing hat, and wool pants, white or grey, Argyll socks possibly. A sweater or vest perhaps, and a bow tie. Gloves, topcoat appropriate to the conditions, and if very cool and damp, a solid colour cashmere or lambswool scarf wouldn't be out of place."

MAN I'd love to hang out with this guy.

A 27 year old who owns more than 30 pairs of suits and who works as a "marketing/internet/customer relations consultant in the auto industry" (could someone interpret this position for FXH and also for me?) asks permission to order a "custom" suit in a Prince of Wales check. Andylanders ask him to describe his complexion, height, hair color, cut or uncut, does he work out, can he mail them his worn-out underwear, is he sure he know what he's getting into with Prince of Wales check, etc.

^ So he has been 'trolling' (sic) for a year and has 'quintupled' his wardrobe since reading AAAC.

He would still have a 'go-to'(nice word) suit out of the thirty.

He states:-

'You are all great looking, intelligent, and will be (if not already) a great success in life.'

We Euros never say stuff like that. Not sure about the Aussies. 'Sledging' is usually more their style.

Internet Bigtimer is looking good to me.
