Make of it what you want - but his "10 Sartorial Commandments" are at least worth debating. I wouldn't subscribe to all of them but I think you should give him credit at least phrasing his thoughts. And yes - he is absolutely right about chewing gum!

The whole deal with the cell phone is ridiculous. There should be certain cell phone manners that should be maintained but to say that cell phones are only for emergencies...

I like his "no barrel cuffs" rule. I'm going to throw away all my barrel cuff shirts now and only wear french cuffs. Also, I'm going to get the buttons removed from all my jackets so that my jackets can take cufflinks.

I agree with Francis. And he did not get paid in cash for writing those, I assume.
