Two Articles on UK suit wool
Which do you reckon is more on target?

Re: Two Articles on UK suit wool
At least one English tailor is less than enthusiastic.

Manton plays on imaginary fears that men will believe their suit will dissolve if it is made from super 150 fabric. That article was way too long for the subject mater. FNB broke his up a lot more.
Does he think he will reverse the fabric trend or is it all just a hollow exercise?

WTF is "American.com"? A digital right-wing rag for the sixth- and seventh-string reactionary scribbler? I need a drink.

Re: Two Articles on UK suit wool
While I believe the article was (somewhat) informative and clearly written, he interjects too many running analogies--which really have no correlative function towards wool--and suffers from the same mentality that he accuses others of--that of pedantic little factoids.
Really, it was too long though. Wool is only as interesting a subject as a page can manage; and now someone's calling it "witty"!
