Can't you just feel the winds of change a-blowin'? It's a new dawn for old, conservatively-dressed white guys.

Dear Ironweed -

I may be heading to Canada this weekend, do you need any foreign cancer sticks? I'll be in NYC at the end of the month and can deliver them then.

Best,
Anne Elk

That is very gracious, but they have resumed selling them in NYC. I am sure the ones they sell here are not as chock-full of carcinogenic goodness as the real deal from north of the border, but they suit my purposes.

Here's an actual fashion question:

Since time immemorial, or at least for the last several years, I have worn Abboud suits and Nordstrom shirts. I've been thinking about trying some different shirts -- Brooks Bros.? Tyrwhitt? Pink? I'm open to suggestions here -- but want to make sure the cut of the shirt doesn't look odd with the cut of the Abboud suits. Thoughts?

Fly to Bangkok or Hanoi with a copy of Vogue or photographs of the look you're trying to pull off and come home with an inexpensive, but impeccably made wardrobe. (spree: blog)

Avoid using the term "jetrosexual" though.

ETA: I'm intrigued by the post's assertion of $50 airfares from "gateway" cities. Anyone ever heard of this?

And to think I avoided the fat-guy-with-short-arms joke you teed up for me.

Tell that to the Zegna cords I purchased a few years ago. Never again. No one really wants to see the outline of my junk and/or butt cheeks. Do Italian men actually have genitalia? Where do they put it when they wear pants?

In a box (or as they_say in Italian, scatola), I learned yesterday.

And it's good to see Christians taking power again, after their years in the dark.

This guy makes regular trips to the US and has added shirts to his repitoire. Thomas is not taking on any new suit customers, but he is taking on new shirt customers.

I liked what I saw right up to the point where he said the shirts run on average about $260.

It's exactly that sort of softness that led me to believe your resistance is wearing thin.

Yes. Icelandic Air has run these specials in the past. Fly to Reyakvik drink in the sun all night and then jet off to Europe for $100 return. Other airlines run them through Ireland and England. I have a friend who's done this and can get more details if you want.

Since we're being gracious and shit, you should know that I, too, will be in NYC near the end of the month and can deliver, say, a jug of LA-brewed turpentine.

What are you talking about??? You nod at everything the freak socks say.

I may get my cell phone back soon-ish.
