Hated it there. Haaaated it! Ralph hired him as a regional sales mgr. He left RL and started his own show in the late 80s. He says only positive things about Ralph in the book. But comes down pretty hard on other designers.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-23960833094070814832008-07-10T23:47:00.000-04:002008-07-10T23:47:00.000-04:00I saw Aboud on Imus a few times (pre Rutgers).

Did he find Ralph abusive?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-62028922862703653462008-07-10T12:03:00.000-04:002008-07-10T12:03:00.000-04:00I know how he feels - - Some of the buttons are ho...I know how he feels - - Some of the buttons are horrible. But, send him here: <BR/><BR/>http://www.waterburybutton.com/user-cgi/patterns.cgi?catg=Fashion<BR/><BR/>for a wider choice. Waterbury Button Co. is an amazing place for any Trad looking to tweak his blazer. The Bolivian Navy crest is very popular.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-42997271056245240482008-07-10T09:24:00.000-04:002008-07-10T09:24:00.000-04:00I had to comment about the blazer buttons, because...I had to comment about the blazer buttons, because my youngest (14 now) is the only male in the family with any dressing sense. When we were looking for a blue blazer for confirmation back in 6th grade, all the department stores carried the same brand and he didn't like the symbol on the buttons. I had to order one from Lands' End because he liked the buttons a lot better.<BR/><BR/>I hope that boy gets a good job when he grows up because he's going to need it to fund his wardrobe!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575824415627306078noreply@blogger.com
