Alex promised you a plane ticket? All I was offered was 2 cartons of cigarettes and a 6 of Naty Boh.......bottles, though.

1. I take this personally.
2. I know that for you, "dork" is a compliment.
3. Thanks! (I'm counting DC as another city. Although, the chinatown bus will be passing through a state or four.)

That's right! You put yourself on the blacklist: You have opted-out of the Sartorial Excellence mailing list sometime during the past year. The Anti-Spam policies of Constant Contact will not let me add you back in. You've gotta do it yourself! You must go here and opt yourself back to the Sartorial Excellence Newsletter in or Constant Contact prevents us from sending the invitation.

I like that red tie, and I hate red ties. Can you rig it so that I win it?

Of course. We live to serve.

No, that counts as trying too hard. Besides, the fact that you stay away is proof that you know your sleeve pitch sucks and you don't want to ruin your carefully cultivated -- but phony -- Internet reputation by displaying that to those in the know.

IS there a chance to win any Seaman & Stearn VII fold ties?

April in Paris is on my list of places to try. Will Beatrice Amblard be there, or is this just a teaser until 2009?

Bea will be here in 2009. For this year you're stuck with me and a whole lot of Bea's pieces. They're for sale, but you could also specify any one of them being made in your choice of materials/colors/etc.

That depends upon which day you have RSVP'd for. Was that Friday? ... Or Saturday? ... or Never?
