Tyrwhitt compares unfavorably to other Jermyn Street makers, but my two Tyrwhitt shirts are immeasurably nicer than my J. Crew shirts.Originally Posted by DocHolliday

With all due respect you are just going to the wrong stores. If you were in Boston you should go to Louis Boston or Drinkwater's.I also really wished it were easier as a tourist in America to find honest apple pie Americana.
I politely disagree...we have not preserved all of our menswear industry but that is good news for the consumer who now has more choices at lower and higher prices due to globalization. I like that. In other industries we see that higher value design with offshore manufacturing is a winning combination. Look at the success Apple is having with Macs and iPods.Our trouble is that we've spread America all over the globe, while doing a poor job of preserving it at home.

You have a very static view of America. It's always been a country of the future, not the past. That is not to say there is no history, rather that we Americans do not feel constrained by the past nor do we feel that our past should dictate our future.I had terrible trouble finding America in America.
