Glenplaid = buzz?

Isn't that one of the most common cloth patterns? I know you've been obsessed with it for the last couple months but it's been everywhere since forever.

I don't remember these days. Skeptical of the black, too.

yeah... full price? On SF? Maybe a pre-buzz phenomenon.

I'd have put Barker Black at least at saturation. Unless there's some huge clearance sale.

I don't know if the white shirt thing is true; I just said that because I'd like it to be true. But I'm glad to hear you're wearing them more.

My roped-shoulder sportcoat got a surprising amount of love last time I posted it. I imagine if someone came along with some really nice examples, he could win some converts.

I'm already on the white-shirt bandwagon. My stripes are getting ignored of late.

+1 on white shirts. I have six and laundering every weekend means lately its been plain white 3 or 4 days a week.

As an aside, I see this thread becoming a hall of famer.

i thought it was taboo on here to wear a white shirt with a sportcoat.


All things i'd never think of, and have never thought of, pre style forum.
