While I appreciate Mr Hackett's style and understand that advertising needs to create a somewhat over the top atmosphere, I guess this video also illustrates how quickly "retro" fashion, not only those based on Fogey aesthetics, can cross the line into costume.
Indeed, it is strange to see the clothes I have been wearing all my life suddenly become "fashionable". Still, it is good to see the bow tie return as normal day-wear.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."
