Nice that you are holding back the barbarians at the gate!; 11 February, 2008 08:30

How the mighty have fallen! What did you wear in your college days, LBT?; 11 February, 2008 09:40
Laguna Beach Fogey said...: Anonymous ~ I came across this ad whilst looking through style archives for pics of spectator shoes. The contrast with today's A&F is striking, I think.

Sandra ~ I agree. But did you notice The Sartorialist deleted my comment? Honestly, I thought the man was a vagrant, but apparently he is a well-known clothing salesman or something. I had no idea (honestly)! The barbarians are not only at the gate, they have come through the gate and are making themselves at home. I am merely going along for the ride.

Benedict ~ I'm glad to hear you're putting up a resistance. At college I generally wore old dress shirts, tattersall shirts, rugby shirts, etc. For trousers I wore moleskins, cords, and jeans. Lots of jumpers and tweed jackets. Occasionally an old tweed suit. Suede brogues and loafers. Nothing spectacular, I'm afraid.; 11 February, 2008 12:04

...and thanks for the kind words.; 11 February, 2008 21:57
