I don't hate Thom Browne, but I would never pay five grand for one of his suits, either.

5000 grands? That makes it $5 million--a crime against the Creator!

I look at his site now and then, mostly for the images of men. I did not know until this thread that they were predominately industry insiders. I sometimes enjoy the pictures and never read the comments. I can appreciate that he has created something that speaks to a lot of people but that does not relate to me. I can respect the artistic eye that one must have to create 'the sartorialist' brand as well as the time and energy one must possess to carry that forward. I'll probably check out the site a couple more times in the upcoming months but with no expectations.

I'll go if anyone can come wearing edward greens or john lobbs and show this young man what he longs for and covets.

Spot on LK,
you want to drop that kind of cash on photographic art,
buy a John Sexton print for starters.

I was there as well.

Two different people mistook me for the photographer, though I look nothing like him.

This felt odd but sweet.
