I agree. It went up quite a bit when you joined in
and start with "the lack of"?
Just checking in to see whether or not I've missed the posts about everyone's bespoke trucker wallets. Still to come I see.
Objectively speaking he's superior to Foo so there isn't much discussion to be had.I'm kinds surprised that the post of Derek's Bolo tie didn't get more pro and anti bolo posts.

Nice to see that you're coming around to a more individualistic understanding of style though.
You keep mentioning this and I have no idea what you're talking about.
A lot of people who talk about style believe that some outfit or another can be judged more or less 'good style' on the basis of its adherence to style rules, or what other people think of the outfit's merits, or what other people's standards are. Many times these observations are made by people who actually live outside of their iconic rule-makers' ideas of taste in the first place - i.e. a Russian Canadian talking about English standards of black tie propriety.
I think that this is nonsense. To quote a much greater mind than mine:
"Style is an idiom which arises spontaneously from one's personality but which is deliberately maintained. Or to put it another way: To be a stylist is to be yourself, but on purpose." - Quentin Crisp
I see just as much style in someone who dons an acid-wash denim jacket, 'cigarette' plaid trousers, and combat boots as I do in anyone who wears a suit and silk shirt, or a completely androgynous outfit - so long as all are true to that person's personality, and the outfit speaks the truth about them.
The only way in which it could possibly matter why so-and-so chose an item would be to understand why that choice reflects their style.
