Well, Socal says 'support'. Thom Browne says: "Ka-ching!!!"

I'm sorry, that just looks f*ckin' ridiculous. If I saw someone walking towards me in this, I would likely blatantly laugh, its just that bad.

When we were in high school, my little brother was a mod, and tended towards very narrow pant legs with no break at all. My father used to tell him he looked like a "field mouse" with his trousers like that. That's what I think of when I see this, a field mouse.

Not really. People sporting the full-on Thom Browne look like idiots here to. But sometimes their are enough of them to huddle together at their own table in the cafeteria where they sneer at everyone else for not being individual enough.

Thom Browne has found a new way to bring brand identity to tailored clothing for men. There is no difference between that suit and a golf shirt with a giant Polo logo or a hoodie with 'Hollister' all over it. Without such an easily identified brand, Browne would not be a success.

This guy looks like a guy you'd want to take extra care not to look in the face on the subway unless you want to hear his rant.

Hmm... this same guy in this same outfit (though slightly different photo) appeared in the latest issue of GQ.

Sorry - I guess I just don't see the appeal in the short-cut pants.

The other side of the intersection is another weeping Thom wearer. This is the look of recognition.

I suddenly got the idea that there is no groupthink of any kind of SF.
