Haha He should have named this post "Grayson" - Marc gave an interview one time where he said that one whole room of his Manhattan apartment had been taken over by bespoke suits.

OK but just objectively speaking, his wardrobe is pure insanity. There's ample evidence of that floating around the internets and spanning a bevy of chat rooms. Bottom line, the guy has had enough bespoke sewn for him to fill 20 or 30 good lifetimes.

I'm a bit unbalanced myself but that's psychotic behaviour.

"When Marc Grayson brought his new girlfriend to his apartment, all she could say was 'Oh, my.' Inside Grayson's two-bedroom New York City pad were two walk-in closets overflowing with clothes, and the extra bedroom was full of commercial garment racks loaded with suits, sportcoats and slacks.

"Grayson (his username on various men's fashion forums) has an entire room devoted to his 50 custom-made suits, 50 sportcoats, 40 high-end shoes and 100 neckties, which he estimates total some $300,000 in sartorial expenditure."

I'm floored. Wait...false alarm.

Whew...that was close.

Next article...

Jan Libourel’s wife doesn’t like his clothes. She doesn’t like his two-tone Allen Edmonds shoes, she rolls her eyes over his silk pocket squares, and if he wears an ascot she’s afraid to be seen with him.

But there’s one thing she really hates: The fact that Libourel — a former professor of ancient history and noted gun authority — spends up to 2 1/2 hours a day discussing men’s clothing on the Internet. “She regards it as highly eccentric and time-wasting,” says the 64-year-old Long Beach resident. “I say, ‘It’s not as if I’m on some Appreciation site,’ and she says, ‘That would be normal.”

While some men go online to discuss cars, sports and electronics, a small but growing number are logging on to debate shirt collar styles, the virtues of a Neapolitan shoulder, and whether or not it’s gauche to leave the last button on a custom suit sleeve undone.

This is the often sophisticated and occasionally pathetic world of men’s clothing forums, where guys who are clothes obsessed find sanctuary from a society they say regards them as effeminate poppinjays. Combined, the four best-known men’s clothing forums boast over 10,000 members, plus countless more regular visitors eager to debate whether Brioni suits are superior to Kiton, and whether socks should match shoes or pants.

Wow, nobody understands.
