Where are we in the styleforum / iGent MC hype cycle? - Page 7

Drat--I was going to post that one. I got a new-to-me pair of yesterday!

Glad to hear that non-silk ties are on the rise.

I wore a white shirt with a sportcoat yesterday. I'm glad I rode the wave before it became over-hyped this morning. Maybe it will be to backlash against the backlash stage by the time I do it again.


Pre-buzz: pleated pants, plain white linen pocket squares, tweed suits

Backlash: workwear, summer scarves, Nagrani, Incotex chino linos

Backlash against the backlash: Allen Edmonds, Hermes ties


(Yeah, some of those are dupes from others)

Where does the current EG sale fall in this cycle?

When Matt posted a pair that some found less-than-stellar. I think people mistook them for dress pants. They are casual, and great for that.

I like mine, too, but I saw some people who bought them complaining about the fit, etc. The SF cycle moves fast--don't blink!

Maybe we should move it to 'Backlash Buzz'?

^ Only applies to guys who realized they can't squeeze into Incos.

How about junky, vintage cufflinks off of ebay?

We need a regularly updated centralized list in the OP so we can keep track of what to start buying and what to stop wearing.

Backlash.

Inspired idea! like a taste period from worst to best? We could use AAAC as the foundation.
