Disagreeable Menswear Post Of The Day

From what I can see, posts 50% his own watches, 50% demo watches (at various stores, it seems).

His own watch collection seems to be worth around $120k-$130k. Probably a mix of vintage, second-hand, and new? Maybe even handed down. But yeah, a sizable chunk of money if you're not working in a high-income industry.

And on top of that, you have all his MTM or bespoke suits that cost anywhere between $3k-$5k

Trust fund baby? Wealthy spouse? Awesome advertisement / shilling deals? Who knows.

All the other Scandi iGent bloggers seem to be lawyers, bankers, and consultants. From what I've read, AW used to be a handball player, and then went to textile and business school.

That they were all in good shape, generally handsome, charismatic,famous, and that our appreciation of what they wear is in part influenced by the halo effect and in part influenced by socialization that these men are fashion icons are all things that make them well dressed to us that to greater or lesser extent a typical iGent will lack (at least some).

Lets not forget that these guys lived in a time when wearing suits was a common thing in daily life.

These two pantless gentlemen know all about the room and are prepared to welcome any and all newcomers.

Well, not a Internet post, but these texts illustrate how igent culture leads people to assume that any shiny footwear must be shell cordovan.

The last thing you’ll see before you lose consciousness and wake up in a bespoke, fully canvassed gimp suit, chained to the north wall of a dark room of disease.

Maybe I could have used different examples - Steve McQueen, Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, Sean Connery... are those manly enough for you?

My point is the same: those iGents refer to olde Hollywood stars as style icons, yet they fail to even understand why they looked great in their clothes. Some of them wear MTM or bespoke and it should be simple enough for them not to look like crap.

more manly thank you very much. still all actors though ymmv etc pp i get your point
 
I support this bold new direction and look forward to advertising campaigns of increasing levels of debauchery in which groups of consenting adults are pictured mid-coitus, suspenders being used as bondage constraints, pocket squares stuffed into mouths, shoes slid into new and novel places. The pungent aroma of bodily fluids, male and female, will be palpable through even photograph. The Caligula Campaign they will call it, and it will be glorious.
 
Burloodee. It figures.

A crock of Continental overpriced yobboid tacky bling arseshite, laced with Olga Berluti's metaphysical twaddle.

Borderline cosplay. The Texan goes to "England", and is in awe of a lot of things, most of them the product of his own fantasy (too much Dowton Abbey). "Glasgao" indeed. Otherwise, the video is a masterclass in dragging out a conversation. "You know, kinda, I never really thoughta that before, I guess, you know...".

You've thought hard about this haven't you?



...maybe, a little, too, hard.
 
I love that the iGents embracing the dock worker beanies aren't buying the regular 5 buck wool hats, nope, gotta be bespoke $500 Loro Piana cashmere-vicuna blend knit hats.

Big cheese sponsor on Ask Andy. Never knew what he looked like. With a name like Kirby he should be the king of products to keep women’s hair in place rather than the king of clothes hangers.

For my part, I have been thinking: how white do you have to be to have a name like Kirby Allison? Now I know.

It doesn't look that bad for RTW, but a canvas that runs through the chest and lapels is half canvas, not full canvas

It's the incongruous statements I was referring to: ''Quintessentially British Tailoring, Made in Italy'' and ''Cut in the bespoke fashion....''

No, it just means there are more murroquians in Italian factories to make filthy dirty hand manipulations in the british and Italian traditions plus couscous stains on the lining.

”I was talking to a menswear buyer the other day, and he told me something that he had heard while in Italy during a Borrelli appoIntment. As we all know Borrelli is famous for the handwork on their shirts: hand sewn buttonholes, interior collar band, yoke, etc. Apparently this work really is done by little old Italian ladies at their homes in the nearby countryside surrounding the Borrelli factory. When the ladies send the shirts back to the factory, the shirts have to be vigorously washed because they are covered in cigarette ash, dirt from the natural oil in the women’s hands, tiny drops of blood, and the shirts smell like food.

Of course by the time they reach your Neiman Marcus they are perfectly presentable examples of high-quality craftsmanship, but I love the idea that they begin life in such a humble and human way.”

Actually it's Chinese sweat shop labour. Just go to Florence and you will see gaggles and throngs of Chinese ladies all around the tourist and artistic heritage sites. I actually thought they were all fine art students, but my colleagues corrected me in that they're all on the annual day out from the factory.

When getting my ego stroked and manipulated by the quality application of handwork—if you know what I mean—I don’t know what I prefer more: bodily fluids of murroquians or natural oils of old little Italian maidens?
 
I've owned G&H made in England, and made in Italy (RTW) by Sartoria Santandrea. Liked the last one tbh.

The cheap and medium line were garbage though. Decent construction (by Lardini), but horrendous cuts.

Chester Barrie makes a very British RTW cut for reasonable money.
