Better than the gym teacher look.Maybe you prefer the mathematics teacher look.![]()
Do you have any examples of his sports jackets that you feel particularly fit that 'old fogey, geography teacher' look? Interested to know if I agree, or vehemently disagree!

Well yeah, that's not a great look. But aside from that one, any others? I think some of his slopey shouldered softly structured tweeds are pretty gorgeous pieces of clothing honestly!
What do you mean by a considered world view? Can you go more into the details on that? Also; adhering to rules that do not matter to anyone of importance. Who might those people be and what rules? Examples please. I would really be interested in these statements in this discussion.They are both a certain type of menfluencer but Crompton's taste, if at times overwrought and tedious, is more in line with my own than Allison's. He is considered but confident in the things he wears.
Crompton also has a general awareness of how to wear tailored clothing without being making a spectacle of oneself. Crompton also seems more self assured in his style than Allison who seems concerned about what is "proper"...I think it's a bit out of line with what I consider an American sensibility of having style and taste but ultimately not giving a damn and wearing nice things because you like them. Style comes from having a considered worldview and adorning oneself in a manner that is in line with that worldview and I am generally unimpressed by adhering "rules" that simply do not matter to anyone of importance.
I also don't get what Kirby is trying to sell me on in his videos: handmade buttonholes? cigar smoking? fedoras? Is it a lifestyle thing? Crompton has a hustle too, he's just more into clothing and less into the "lifestyle".
At the end of the day they're both looking for that ad revenue and free stuff and I respect their hustle in a niche space. They're both well dressed and have made a living off of it. Salut!
Kirby always gives off the impression that he's cosplaying as some "European gentleman".What do you mean by a considered world view? Can you go more into the details on that?

It's fun reading Simon's reviews.
On a related note, I'm going to make a point of visiting Jean-Manuel Moreau at some point in the near future for a MTM. When Simon initially reviewed him back in 2020, a MTM suit started at 2400 euros. Today the starting price is 3100.
Would be interested to hear about anybody else's experience with JMM.
Better than the gym teacher look.
I don't think Simon's look is that bad. It looks like a business casual look that SVP would wear in tech or media industries. The crewneck undershirt is what throws it off for me.
