You forgot about his last minute journey to the Shire.

The pants are cuffed too.

+1 Bingo!
Glad to see other eagle-eyed sf folks caught this travesty. I was a bit worried, thinking the old correct mode had disappeared or had been tossed as "dated" and this abomination is now considered the acceptable mode...

Glad it's not, and bravo to others that have noticed.

The most shame should go to Mr. Lauren. I wonder if there will be some sort of fallout in his design room?

Will Anna Wintour ever have lunch with him again?

I like these boots a lot, they look like suede but its hard to tell.

If it shows up at the Polo outlet for less than $200, you'll be seeing it in WAYWT.

The sweater-jackets are an interesting concept, although I'm not sure if I'd ever choose to wear one instead of a sweater or a jacket.

I've always wanted a pair of pants to fit like this for fun. How does this look when the guy is standing still? Also, how would I communicate this cut to my tailor in order to get this fit right?

You could ask for Oxford bags ...

I'm rather fond of these. I wonder what shoes one wears with them.

That was going to be MY answer Doc. I might even edge up to the equivalent of $300. Man, it would be awesome.

Thanks for the correction on terminology, trajan, I feel I've learnt something useful today for a change.
