TH has always been Ralph manque. The spread collars, the jeans and black tie, the red Ferraris, the house on Mustique.

As ridiculous as many of RL's get-ups are, they are head and shoulders above TH in terms of quality.; 29 September, 2011 17:47

Surly said...: Looks like their cats died. Or at least that's what an old timer used to tell me when I'd show up for work without having shaved. Took me a while to figure out what he meant.; 29 September, 2011 22:09

ADG said...: Tommy ran head shops and hippie jeans stores up in NY State. I knew people who knew him and his family. A great entrepreneurial story...in a retail garmento kind of way. But it was the Murjani or however you spell the name...family money that elevated him from head shop/hippie jeans store purveyor to whatever he was/is. I think those Murjani folks owned or backed Sergio Valenti jeans at the time as well. Nothing wrong with any of the Hilfiger story. But there's no genius or new vision/approach chapter in his journey. At all.; 30 September, 2011 07:03
