Gee, on the other hand what?

Re-stated as an assertion: there are many people praising Kabbaz shirts who don't have any experience or knowledge to do so without prejudice.

Rhetorical, riiiiiight.... You really don't when to quit digging do you? Is that something they teach only in second year?

Many posters with Kabbaz experience have now refuted your rhetorical question turned assertion but never mind.

I think they suck but I can't say why because j would not like that.

Believe whatever you want about AK shirts. I no longer care, not that I ever did much. I guarantee I won't be responding to any of your posts/questions/whatevers any more. Life is too bloody short.

You should have seen the kid when I dared say in another thread that I thought an IWC Portuguese Chrono was more scarce than the IWC Portuguese Automatic. The Spanish Inquisitors would pale next to the relentlessness of young mafoo

You yourself implicated that it would be exceedingly difficult to accurately tabulate the number of people who have experience with Kabbaz shirts versus the number who have spoken of them as if they have knowledge yet have none.

A handful of people claiming they have experience with something amounts to anecdote. It only demonstrates, at best, that some posters do have experience with Kabbaz shirts. Did I ever deny that? I was only attempting to draw attention to the fact that there are many posters that don't have such experience yet speak as if they do.

If you want to 'refute' me, you'll have to find those posters and show that they all do have firsthand experience.

No doubt, however, if history is telling at all, you will completely ignore the substance of this patient response to your jibes at me and simply attack me for ill motivations, being argumentative, or being 'that kind' of law student.

I think Anna Matuozzo makes the best dress shirts.

I don't get Charvet at all, but I've only been exposed to their RTW offerings. Great silk knots though. I also don't get RTW Brioni, I find them weak on all counts.
I have found Truzzi shirts with their handwork to be nicer than Lorenzini.

We know you think that. Come up with something original, big guy.

I am so large that I need bespoke condoms. The handwork on these condoms must be done in Naples as they are so skilled with that kind of stuff.

I seem to recall hearing you could get a Truzzi shirt for less than $150. Is that accurate? Seems like a potential bargain to me.

Obviously, I personally like Anna Matuozzo: everything a Borrelli purportedly should be but definitely isn't.

Points for originality.

The truth is he finds American market otr condoms way too blousy and needs a slimmer fit.

Wait... do you mean that your question wasn't purely inquisitive but rather meant to assert something???

I thought that

Do you wear brighter colors in the summer?
