I sincerely hope that most japanese don't think that's the way americans dress... even though it's probably true with infinitely less quality items. Gosh that's awful. I'd love to hear the SW&D opinion.

Like it or not workwear is a significant trend and the world looks to the USA for inspiration.

The camo trend has been / remains a little scary for me, but honestly, that end of the Americana-esque streetwear spectrum would be welcome over what the majority of Americans call casual.

Camouflage shorts? Camouflage has been around for years, but I've never thought of it as stylish ... except of course as used by Andy Warhol in a few of his paintings of religious subject matter.

That said, I hear that camouflage is big in wedding attire ... especially in America's Deep South.

And never have I seen a pair of shorts in a district check ... at least not of the tweed variety.

Obligatory comment on the jacket sleeves being too long.

That's from the latest's Men's Ex. There are other American dressed much better in that issue--Michael Bastian for instance. Why pick the worse from that issue?

I've lived in Atlanta for most of my life and I have never seen/heard/thought of this as possible. No idea what type of person would incorporate that into their wedding. Granted I would have loved to have one of those suits in college. Seems like excellent drinking attire.
