This thread was speaking to the "construction" of a garment, not the style.

Probably because the original topic of this thread was misleading advertisement and you say it's about the construction of some high end makers.

I tried to divert the thread away from, "how dare you insult Oxxford, my family's been wearing it for three generations," by inserting an interesting qualitative judgement. I failed, you win.

You needn't worry about insulting me for wearing Oxxford, I was simply standing up for the quality of the garment , not the style. It was said that Oxxford was less than the best and that is not true.

Well, I couldn't get the confidence intervals in there on short notice.
