That's part of being a real writer--and what makes him one--instead of a dilettante nerd with a homemade "style" blog. <br /><br />The fellow at Gawker is working out some serious class issues and writing talent issues. Something about Mr. Tinseth's writing makes him feel the need to stuff socks into the front of his poly-cotton boxer briefs. It also makes one pine for the days when gentlemen wrote about their insecurities in diaries ,instead of on Gawker.Michael Rowenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-47556126129310714342009-09-14T16:34:18.312-04:002009-09-14T16:34:18.312-04:00I am with LBT and still annoyed about this - not a...I am with LBT and still annoyed about this - not a fair shake.The Blushing Hostesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303502206261407536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-57025406769950511662009-09-14T12:18:49.253-04:002009-09-14T12:18:49.253-04:00enjoyed it and thought you came off well---

Keep 'em guessing. Keep 'em on their ill-shod toes. That sort of thing.<br /><br />Still, it's nice to see David Wilder mentioned. I used to see him at his mother's store in Greenwich, before it moved. He always looked like a Brideshead extra.<br /><br />“This stuff lasts forever, which I don’t think fashion people like because they need to sell new stuff.” Exactly! That's it.

And it wasn't even my blazer. <br /><br />anon 16:49- I felt like a wounded gazelle on an African savanah being chased down by a pride of lions. The neck bite that stopped the twitching was the, "12 year old Jonas Brothers female fan..." And then everything went dark.<br /><br />I was in the Paris Charvet a couple years ago and they didn't have a yellow university stripe. Brooks had it 5 years ago in their MTM but then they discontinued it. It flat out disappeared. Amazing to find it at Rugby.<br /><br />Pink Martini- Not brave just stupid.

(A tetanus booster might be in order, however.) That's a rough crowd- I was genuinely disturbed. <br /><br />I picked up on the "striped yellow Oxford University rugby shirt" thing immediately and thought that's exactly what you were wearing, having bought one of these recently myself. Ralph is the only current source for this fabric that I am aware of- Rugby is good for at least one thing.<br /><br />The NY Times piece yesterday on accessories (which seemed to have the ACL guy's fingerprints all over it) called Aldens "1950s-style banker shoes".

From a journalistic standpoint, I thought it was strange to base an entire article on interviews with just 2 people (especially since the reporter seemed to get the facts wrong), but since I like the online perspective of those two people, it was not bad.<br /><br />I just hope that it does not lessen your Trad powers now that your secret Trad identity has been revealed :)<br /><br />Congratulations on the article.<br /><br />Tom BuchananAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-36019182573328996022009-09-11T09:48:27.062-04:002009-09-11T09:48:27.062-04:00I'm a Super Rat.
