Surely they must eat more than just that?
So many of them look so big and lovely and healthy...

I too must be a vagitarian-for I also worship at the altar of the hairy pie.

Re: Ben Silver follows Andover / Eljos
Good ol' Ivy League - Probably the most egalitarian Tweed has ever been...
Yeah, there's class mixed in with IL, but it's class for Joes like you & me also. We's as good as anybody else too.
Anglo-inspired clothes, but given New World freedoms which the Old World still likes to deny.
Tweed in the Old World is for Market Gardeners and Kings & everybody inbetween - And the Tweeds they all wear are all very different too. A Harris Jacket from John Lewis is not quite what Prince Charles tricks his royal self up in.
Only in The Ivy League style is the same Tweed for everybody. Entry level J. Press is equally for the Brahmin & the Boy just starting out. Outside America that is seen as something wonderful. Inside America you just don't realise what a rare thing it is that you have I don't think.
Tweed for Everybody! Ivy for Everybody!
Etc...

Re: Ben Silver follows Andover / Eljos
Once we agree that the clothes can mean different things to different people, then talking about the various meanings can be a lot of fun. We just had to get past the idea that they only mean one thing.

What it comes down to is that Harris is our Melville, and Trad our Elusive White Whale. Like Twain, 'arry could spin a yarn with the best of them. I doff me cap...&c...

'Tis over now...
But would that the tale were better told
that "Trad" might have been better sold.
