47 year-old iGent is taken to task by his mother for his obsession with his own "smart and tasteful clothing". She says women hate him for it, real men are slobs, and that he is a fairy who will never be able to satisfy any woman, let alone her:

One who teaches complains about the brutal Mississippi winters; requests advice on the design of his new 85-lb. fully zippered and heated hacking jacket  from Brookstergate:

An iGent too cheap to own his own computer--yet apparently a worshiper of the late Nelson A. Rockefeller, former Governor of New York and Baller-In-Chief-- is afraid to wear a striped watchband with a striped tie. He's also wet himself worrying about wearing a grosgrain band after Labor Day:

^ The man from Ohio has some strange notions.

1. 'UK forced its citizens to go metric but I'll give you my ounces when you pry them from my cold dead hands.'

2. You cannot wear an overcoat with a tweed jacket.

3. You cannot have a ventless tweed jacket. ( I will have to bin that Donegal jacket I used to wear)

4. People actually wear tweed jackets with those throat latches buttoned up in the Winter.

I had a quick overlook over his blog and I am genuinely unimpressed. I am not quite sure if some of his posts - including this one - are a kind of advanced trolling to provoke reaction, comments and PIs through racism, misogynistic crap and insults. Nevertheless this outbreaks are necessary to cover up the tedious rest of his blog, to pump some blood through this lifeless body of photos, magazine- and bookcovers, Wagner, various military references and dull wardrobecollections. My prejudices towards Rolexwearers where entirely vindicated. 

This basically is the Internet-GQ for old farts.

Oedipus in Andyland: an iGent worries that his mother won't find him attractive if he dresses in "smart and tasteful" clothing. Don't worry, dear soul, the Andylanders will make sure that this never happens!

A novice iGent struggles with the famously fussy and difficult peacoat, an item of clothing so esoteric that only emotionally abusive vampires and actual sailors can wear it with any degree of success. Here is a little personal claim to fame: I have been to the Sterlingwear store in southern New Hampshire. It is a fundamentally sad place, though attractively designed, and the salespeople display a brittle, overexcited eagerness, I think because they know that it will close soon and that they will have to return to Old Navy.

Death of an Andyman. Some breathtaking inanity and oversharing from OldSarge, who wants to get four "bespoke" suits from Hemrajani so that he can wander around Lakewood, California, telling people what glen plaid is and complaining that ol' Will from A Suitable Wardrobe wanted him to get something called a "nailhead fresco" because certain colors of suits are appropriate only in certain areas of America's suburbs. Guess what brosephs American's don't wear suits in the suburbs, or if they do they wear a black suit with a royal blue shirt and yellow tie or something in "taupe" from Mens Wearhouse. Do you know what they wear in the city? The exact fucking same thing. So by all means follow your bliss and get a birdseye maple dogstooth district check suit to wear to Cold Stone Creamery, but don't pretend that you're following some sort of immutable rules of style and elegance.

"Hey guys, do I have your permission to wear my Russian mink hat when I go to Russia for some reason?" The ensuing conversation makes the OP look like Jean-Paul Sartre (though Bjorn, who I generally despise, comes in right away with a generally sensible and reasonable comment).

I think it's time for you guys to get to know me a little better:
