I wonder if he had to cut someone's nuts off at Hermes to acquire it?

Re: Inane Post of the Day 2012: The End of the Sartorial World Edition

Popeye I find Styleforum's sexual confusion, narcissism, and repeated reference to Cindy Sherman confusing and threatening. I want to go where things makes sense, where decent American values reign, and where people value classic, timeless style. This is a wondrous place, a place called lookbook.nu. But the US government has placed a restriction on my web usage because of some ill-considered messages I left on senator Lindsey Graham's voicemail so I must settle for Andyland:

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?116247-Boxer-shorts-price-is-not-a-factor
Wow, personalized boxer short advice from noted sartorial expert and disinterested third party Alexander Kabbaz!

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?116233-Club-Collars
A fairly bizarre discussion of club collars from the Andyland regulars. Note especially how the participants explain why they want club collars. "Very unfashionable, which speaks to their desirability," writes Flanderian, with the typical Andyland diction, a prose style that combines the functional beauty of midwestern business writing with the faux-Victorian pretension of Augustus Carp, esq. I will not bother to comment on the fact that all the participants give advice on where to get club collar shirts yet none of them say much of anything about what one might want to wear them with.

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?116152-Shoes-A-Gent-s-Cold-Feet
A very enthusiastic goober from Arkansas endures gentle chiding from Cuffers for writing "oxford loafers" - can you guess what term of rhetoric Cuffers uses to describe an "oxford loafer?" It's oxymoron.

http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?116237-Dressing-up-in-a-casual-workplace
An iGent wants to know how he can stealthily "outtdress" his superiors at the library. He is to be commended on many fronts: one, he understands that dress is a competition, and two, he understand that in sartorialism, as in war, the element of surprise is key. I would suggest:
- Camouflage patterns
- wearing a suit underneath a shapeless covering garment, such as a djelleba or tabard
- getting a bunch of tattoos (font themed? John Dewey and Tupac sharing a 40 oz. in heaven?)
- Club collars
- wearing a tie, but beneath the shirt (do not steal this idea Eric Glennie!!! Copyright (C) 2012!!!!)
- Wear a suit, but perch atop the shelves where your superiors cannot see you, like Batman; answer library patron's inquiries in the signature growl of the Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale reinvention of the series (e.g. "We can get that on interlibrary loan")
- Crouch behind an opaque lectern so that only the head is seen (alternative: conduct all library business from inside one of those sweat boxes, like in a 1930s gym)
And so on. HTH!!!!!

Re: Inane Post of the Day 2012: The End of the Sartorial World Edition

Guys, if you have a minute I'd like to introduce you to my new friend from the Mad Hatters site.  He's Thibideaux, he's from the Great American Southwest, and he has some interesting ideas about ties:
