^^ LOL - I thought you were waiting for my Air Bud 2 review!

Also, didn't see it mentioned, but Manton has an article about summer suits in the Spring 2009 Esquire Big Black Book.

I thought it was well-written, yes. Basically lamented the fact that most men don't wear summer suits anymore and served as a good introduction to styles and fabrics.

It wouldn't be anything new for members here, but for the vast majority of the public I would think it is quite informative.

^ Don't buy it unless you want to read articles such as on how to buy the perfect white t-shirt or how Manton will be the only one in NYC wearing a summer suit this year.

I flipped through it in the store and was very uninspired. I can't even remember what was in it, but I remember telling myself, OK, if this looks like a half-way good read, I'll buy it. I did not.

I bought it online from that site about 4 weeks ago. Still haven't received it...
Anyone else have trouble with it?
