I understand what it is, but my only bone to pick with you is that you seem to dress in an anachronistic manner at times. In that sense, at least, you are in good company with Mr. Flusser. I don't disagree with any of the principles being espoused here -- I think -- but as others have mentioned, sometimes it would be better if you chose to "put this on" rather than "put that on."

I think if you step over to SW&D, you will find that fair isle sweaters are very big in fashion world at the moment.

I don't know the shop. If the clothes sold there are good, that puzzles me even more - shouldn't he represent his brand?

That's true as well, but I still stand by my first comment. That grey jacket with the small lapel?

It's his job to dress distinctively. Mine, too, in part.
