When I was in there a year ago, one of the salesman said that the Chinese-made merch on offer previously made their stalwarts have a cow.

J. Press' Japanese overlords learned their lesson, and it was not re-ordered.

Although you were duty bound to comment on the tie choices of origin, being asked if you are an AAAC member is quite a besmirchment on your honor. I am surprised you did not step back and draw your sword cane.

He probably only wanted to know in which direction to point him? "AAAC? The socks and underwear are over there.."

I feel like I should quote Jamgood or Kav here, but I don't know which of their works would be appropriate.

At which point you should have shouted something like "you like it, the lamb?!?!?!?" or something about black suits and then dashed off

He was in Chicago for a while right? Saw him on Wabash once with his precious Ambrosi pants and some well dressed fellow in a brown suit. Rather diminutive as I remember. Short, but stylish!
