Everything is, unreal, only what you, perceive is what counts.

Is it mushroom season in Geneva?

The prissiness which is pervading these various threads is astounding. Of course we all know that once people find out that you're wearing machine sewn instead of handsewn garments, everyone who's anyone is going to look at you differently. You'll be excluded and blackballed from the most important parties, clubs and gatherings. You can just forget about that promotion at work, pal. Get used to middle management. Your children will need to make due with state schools, because the ivy league or even second tier private schools are right out. Your attempts at living your life with quiet dignity will be undercut by an internal sense of shame and desperation. Ultimately, you are destined to die lonely, even though surrounded by your family, with an unending internal voice following you to your grave (where you will be buried in your inferior machine sewn garment), silently screaming, "If only I hadn't bought into the Kiton hype!!"

I realize the obvious response to this post is something along the lines of "no, you don't understand, we don't care what other people think, we're just dressing for ourselves and want the best information possible, etc., etc.", but I can't help but sense the underlying insecurity and attempt to keep up with the perceived Joneses which is sprinkled throught what now constitutes at least 6 threads, by my count.

Just my 2 cents...

+1

+ 2. The extent to which the OP, AF, and others go to justify their Kiton fetish just amazes me...

Clearly the entire concept of what is current going on at the moment has zoomed right over your head at 40,000 or plus feet.

Amongst the static wasting the bandwidth, some may actually care to learn instead of maintaining the same old tired banter on and on until the end of time!

I am guessing Zegnamtl meant the repeated mantra of "Kiton/Oxxford/Brioni/etc are handmade".

Well, I suppose anything is better than another thread about whether a pocket square is appropriate for an interview.

But we probably make way for some more discussion of ETAs on Jantzen orders.

Can we please talk about something less divisive such as politics or religion?
