Drat--I was going to post that one. I got a new-to-me pair of yesterday!

Glad to hear that non-silk ties are on the rise.

I wore a white shirt with a sportcoat yesterday. I'm glad I rode the wave before it became over-hyped this morning. Maybe it will be to backlash against the backlash stage by the time I do it again.

Pre-buzz: pleated pants, plain white linen pocket squares, tweed suits

Backlash: workwear, summer scarves, Nagrani, Incotex chino linos

Backlash against the backlash: Allen Edmonds, Hermes ties

(Yeah, some of those are dupes from others)

Where does the current EG sale fall in this cycle?

wait... when did that happen? These things are great and cheaper than Gap !

When Matt posted a pair that some found less-than-stellar. I think people mistook them for dress pants. They are casual, and great for that.

I like mine, too, but I saw some people who bought them complaining about the fit, etc. The SF cycle moves fast--don't blink!

Maybe we should move it to 'Backlash Buzz'?

^ Only applies to guys who realized they can't squeeze into Incos.

We need a regularly updated centralized list in the OP so we can keep track of what to start buying and what to stop wearing.

Inspired idea! like a taste period from worst to best? We could use AAAC as the foundation.
