I only ask because the injuries sound similar to horse riding, I once had a skateboard hit me in my throat which left me unable to breath for about a minute, a little bit scary. I also avoid horses after one ran over my friends car.

Crockett and Jones shoes are creasing with wear despite (or possibly because of) application of iGent polish and cream. Who knows?

Probably those cheapskates at the factory using poor leather in the most expensive lines. You pay good money you do not expect creases in your shoes.

Aspiring aristocrat iGent wants to blend in with the upper classes, but doesn't want to spend much money.  Can he wear the cheap Lady's Barbour?  (Assuming "there isn't unsightly hollow where my lack of bosom doesn't fill things out properly.")

"Harvey Birdman", who is apparently not a real American, goes berserk at an iGent who wants to be able to kill people in public, but not have his weapon show under his striped orphaned ebay sportcoat:

Here are some adults, with jobs, who are still having a tough time figuring out the "stayin' warm" thing: "Gentleman: Walking my dog this morning in my Quoddys and noticed some crystalline material on the grass blades. I tried to avoid it, not wanting to ruin the shoes again, but I was shivering too much to move agilely. WTF? Is there a way to deal with this and still look good? I seem to remember the same thing happening last year at this time, but I didn't have the resources of the forum and of you experts to guide me.  What do I do now?"

Eagle is a really funny guy!  He must be at least 96 years old, but he keeps up with the kids and cranks out the jokes everyone loves--here's a riff on Jimmy Durante's legendary sign-off,  destined to become another internet meme:

"Ask Max"  Love it.


The Great Sartorialist wonders if anyone in the world has a real job, and would appreciate it if any readers could help him find an actual worker.  Then he offers a fascinating analysis on the consumer economy, one that probably helps the delightful Garance fall asleep at any time of the day:

I've been away in Adelaide, mainly on holiday, for over  a week. A lot to catch up on here.

Oh officer Tibor, I hope you won't have to beat me with your big black stick.

This guy will go far on Andyland. I can already imagine the venom that the fat pale weirdos of Axe Andy will spray at the chiseled young Abercrombie model in the OP.

Gee, what a fucking enigma! This guy bought two "MTM" coats over the internet and one of them doesn't fit, despite the fact that he provided accurate measurements. CALL THE MYSTERY PATROL!

Finian McLonergan proves that he is the best dresser in Christendom by providing a bizarrely condescending and nasty response to an iGent whose Church shoes "don't fit properly," in the sense that they're comfortable but the vamp won't close completely.
