A List Of The Most Prominent Clothing Shills & Their Network Connections

one of the most awkward posters, imo. always and everywhere in the shoe appreciation universe and never tired of a bold statement - a great career from AE seconds to fashion forward english "gaudy'ism".

now, that you Mr. JS are too stupid to take care of your shoes... ...glad they had a big heart for you being such a tool.

I accidentally shit on one of my Berluti shoes. Now granted, it was my mistake and I am not blaming anyone. However, I did not expect this particular shit to be so caustic as to burn off some of the lovely Berluti patina. I mean, I have not eaten curry in several days. I contacted Berluti and they responded within 196 hours by telephone no less! Even more mind boggling was that it was Olga herself who rang me up.

Salud Olga, ca va?

Ca va bien, Thruth, et tu?

Comme si comme ca, Olga. Je merde sur mes chaussures.

D'accord Thruth, pas de problem.

Vraiment, Olga? Que dois je faire?

Merde sur l'autre chaussure, Thruth. Êtes-vous allé à la selle aujourd'hui ? Voir un gastro-entérologue au sujet de votre temps de passage meme chose.

Merci, Olga. A bientot.

Pas de quoi, Thruth. Adieu.

Berluti sometimes gets a bad wrap for their high prices and poor customer service but I just wanted to report that Olga went beyond the call of duty to solve my shoe problem and also diagnosed my bowel issues. You won't get that from Meermin I tell you!

Yes, he should really choose French shoes with funky patination. He can mistreat them in any way without noticeable damage. In fact, they would be enhanced by his mistreatment and develop and ever-evolving new patina. Let Foo have his One-Shoe. JS can have his Chameleon-Shoe. Ball don't lie.
 
Yeah, we're going to need to hear more about this happy accident.

I think my next patination job will be to see if I can shit-burn the writing off this pair. I think I will choose a vindaloo for the task.

Post of the forum right here.
 
Twas purely and absolutely a figment of my imagination just to mock the SF post Walker referred to. Satire. I don't even own Berluti's.

The central problem with overcoat fit is that you don’t always wear it over a jacket.
Uh, you should. That is why it is called an overcoat. You wear it over a coat. What the fuck else are you wearing it over? A dickie?

Please add to that Hall of Fame, despite the fact that I receive no compensation for my proponencies.
 
Just sent to French Unglenteman, Hugo Crapomet;

  1. Comparing that histrionic horrid tacky shoes of Corthay to the wonderful and elegant of Gaziano is like comparing a Kia with a Bentley.

    Please, visit a hairdresser, get a real shirtmaker, learn how to dress and stop shill.

    Best wishes

Craptom getting pushback from followers on his new sponsorship with Scabal.


The Guide is being sponsored by Scabal. This has been extremely useful in terms of access to people and expertise, but has also enabled us to fund the development of a micro-site to host the Guide.

It’s important to note, however, that the content of the Guide will be entirely independent and objective. Each article is based on input from several experts, at tailors, mills, merchants and even academics.

Scabal’s involvement is similar to the display advertising we carry elsewhere on the site. On the right-hand side of each article, they will suggest and recommend cloths from their range that are related to the content. I believe this will be genuinely useful, but more importantly, it retains the clear distinction between editorial and advertising that we always seek on Permanent Style.

    Thank you for making it clear that this series will be sponsored by Scabal. While I can understand the financial imperative for such a large programme of articles am I the only one who feels slightly “queasy” about this? I am not suggesting for a second that either Mr Crompton or Scabal would attempt anything underhand (perish the thought) but somehow, and I can’t explain why, it just does not feel right. I guess as a long term reader (and occasional commenter) on Permanent Style this just seems a move away from what I have always considered a model of objectivity and public engagement. I am not expressing this very well because I am sure it will be objective but I don’t feel I will be able to enjoy it as much as other articles and as such I think I might have to give it a miss. It will be interesting to see how other feel

    I have to mirror John’s concerns about the role of Scabal. Initially when I read the first few lines of this post I was very excited, only to read on and feel the excitement diminish. Hopefully this won’t be the case though, as l am also a long-term reader
