How about modern rich Russian style?
Yes, but the most important snob to be is an intellectual snob, because you can't fake it. And you unlike money, you can't earn it later on. Jon. I am a poor intellectual snob? In fact, you are right. Wish I had your pesos.- Freerider

Tailored Clothing Widely Considered Gay
BTW, if you must wrestle with a gay guy, make it one of the West Village dudes. The Chelsea boys are really strong. They must spend all day in the gym. The Village guys are weaklings by comparison. Tom Wolfe wannabe, write a loooong socio-book and get yourself a white flannel suit.- Freerider

However, it won't take into account sloping shoudlers, sleeve pitch, back balance, etc. -- anything not average and not symetrical won't...- Freerider
