That makes me feel a bit ill to look at that.
Favourite inane post of the year:
This takes us right back to January and remains my best 'laugh out loud' moment. The pint-sized detective (or gangster or Lord Snooty or whatever it is that he's dressing up as today) spewing risible empty threats on-line.

Some bewildered mutt stymied by the overwhelming difficulties of buying a wallet asks for help from the gang at Andy. How much money should come in a new wallet when you buy it? Does the money ever run out? Can Hilfiger come back and ask for your wallet claiming it is his because it has his name on it? The usual gasbags--Cuffdaddy with 17,000 words on quality, some sucker who paid $300 for a Ferragamo wallet with "silvertone logo", Jovan---what does a nudist do with his wallet?-- great essays on branding and craftsmanship, as expected:

"I am ready to make an upgrade to Allen Edmonds." Alas, is this the saddest thing anyone could admit? Upgrade? Maybe, from duct-taped flip-flops or, more sadly, comfortable sneakers that will be the last shoes he ever owns that fit...

A little further up the shoe tree, aspiring one-percenter clothingconnoissuer has recently spotted Edward Greens for sale in (gasp) stores!-- and worries that the world is ending, even more brutally than it would have ended with the expiration of Bush tax cuts. Please god please let them "maintain their quality" until I have Roscoe's tuition paid... Not so fast, Charlie--ghettos and scumbags like me will take our new money from Obama and buy up all the double monks. Hard cheese on Clothingconnouisseur.

Well done guys, 2013, we're all here, the Olympics turned out not to be a blood offering to satan from the NWO, and the Mayans seriously fucked up on their calculations. Let's see how bad menswear can get in 2013.
re: the thick-necked bow tie guy
Does anyone else get a fun-house mirror feeling from this photo?
I truly despise the "I fussed with a bow tie and pocket square but couldn't bother to shave or tie my boots right" look.
^ His pants are too tight and his jacket's too small as well. But we can relax, because Thich Neck Bow Tie Guy is so 2012.
ha
At least the thick-necked bowtie guy is a virile looking figure, unlike much of the iGentry!
