A denim shirt with a tie?

I don't think so.

I don't think Chen's biggest problem is how he dresses, apart from the camel coat period.

Honestly, hand on my heart, sometimes I think he has put in a good effort. Other times, when he is trying too hard not so. I think he has got a better considered wardrobe than most people, myself included. The problem remains of him being a complete nob, but that is just my personal impression, I think JP is a nob too but he can equally dress well. What I find strange is how Boyer has anything to do with menswear, he often looks like a bed ridden great-aunt.

That's very insightful Bop. It's possible I am a nob myself and therefore feel a natural affinity with other nobs. I have found that it is possible to like people who are nobs as long as you don't have to work closely or deal with them on a regular basis. Of course the world of clothes blogs and forums is littered with nobs (present company excepted of course).

Right that's me done, I'm off to bed to dream of some very dull items of clothing.

Despite not being clued-in on all the Chenners gossip, I've had my own run in with him recently....

I bought a pair of brown, Brooks' flannels from a Yankee called Drake Sutton. The guy was nice enough to refund me 6 dollars for the postage. When I checked my paypal, I find out the whole transaction hasn't been under the name "Drake Sutton" but Chen Chenners Chenzvold, or whatever his name is.

Now to me, refunding postage is the sign of a modern day saint so I don't really know where to stand on the chen chenners debate. But, what really perturbs me is who "Drake Sutton" is. Is Chenners really Drake Sutton? Is Drake Sutton actually Chenners? Is Chenners, Chenners?
Maybe, just maybe, the fantastic personality and history of bad-boy deeds (somebody will have to clue me in on what actually happened; all I know is he has something against the lovely Jim) is all a farce. Maybe Chenners is just a viral caricature used to draw traffic towards the infamous ivy style? Maybe "Drake Sutton" is just a literary character and I've drank too much coffee too late. All I know is, those flannels looked quality; can't wait to try them.

I know saying things like this soon brings speculation over your own levels of knobishness. But with Chens I did give him the benefit ot the doubt over his problems with Jim and I still felt he was an arse. But with some outfits aside I think he can dress himself.  better than the other things he elludes to like journalism. And better than a lot of other people in the clothes blogging world.

We're both boring and lonely here Eggcart. My advice to you is get out now while you are still full of pith and whimsy. This place will strip you of that wit of yours.
