Woops, should've been reading diversely...I'll crosslink to the other thread in which the Kerry cuffs are under discussion today. Â .....
I was going to say that the shirt was definitely T&A. I rather like the 3-button cuff that they use.That's a Turnbull & Asser shirt. No doubt about it.
Five buttons on the suit sleeve is...questionable.
His tailor isn't that great, though--the jacket is moving off his shoulders/neck as he moves his arm.

Ugghhh... Politicians almost pride themselves on looking like ****. It's a shame considering the power and influence some of them yield. If you're going to act the part, at least look the part.A few months back, Time or Newsweek ran a profile on Kerry that included an anecdote about a bunch of Senators heading off for a retreat. Â Another Senator was ribbing Kerry about his sport coat and corduroy trousers, so Kerry complained "Biden's wearing the same thing, why pick on me." Â The response: Â "yeah, but yours cost a lot more."
Ignoring the political rant - Southwick does MTM. Isn't it possible that Kerry just prefers some rather exotic flourishes? BTW, even if he were not wearing Southwick in that particular photograph does not make him necessarily a hypocrite. Being pro-union and anti-sourcing would infer that he supports union labor in local companies. It does not necessarily infer that he supports a protectionist stance on free trade, nor that he is against luxury imports from the European Union. He can wear Kiton with a clear conscience. He might even be supporting local business (Louis Boston, I imagine.) Now, if he wore cheap, Made in Sri Lanka suits from The Men's Wearhouse - then you might have a point. LA Guy, who knows that this is not going to get him any deals on a really sweet custom suit, but wanted to show how clever he was any way. P.S. My industry mag of choice (when I was in California and more involved, was Apparel News)It just shows what a "limosine liberal" Kerry is and the integrity that he lacks. As the canidate that is "pro-union" and "outsourcing opponent", according to our trade paper DNR, Southwick's website, and Kerry's press releases, Kerry wears Southwick, a Union Made in the USA (his homestate of Mass.) garment. Anyone familiar with Southwick can easily tell that that is not a Southwick garment, but looks very similiar to a D&G or Paul Smith garment (which the last time I have seen one, it wasn't Union Made in the USA).
