George Will is threatening the American way of life. Denim practically built this country! It would be one thing if he was complaining about the loss of denim manufacturing in the US. But nooooooo he’s complaining about how denim looks. Off with his head! Pinkocommie! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/15/AR2009041502861.html
'Nuff said.
Sorry George. Denim: It’s what I wear.
De Nîmes? Practically built this country? Good thing it’s not French… 
I’m just twilled you shared that with me. I’ll be warped and be weft of my senses. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_Cone
I always believed that anyone who customarily wears a bow tie is advertising that he has some kind of stick up his @$$, and now the cat’s out of the bag. I am so not being invited for cocktails chez Will. Oh, my thwarted chances.
Maybe he has vested interest in a haberdashery, and is chagrined by a less-than-thriving turnover of the slacks inventory? Could be, you know.
Hey, I think the bow tie is somewhat dashing. 
If that’s the case, I’ll let Mr Izz know. He’s a haberdasher wannabe and would gladly relieve Mr Will of his stock of trousers and other haberdashical type items (hmm…I think I made up another word there…). He’s also somewhat anti-denim, but I’m trying to convince him otherwise 
George Will giving fashion advice is like Elizabeth Taylor giving marriage advice. :roll:
Oh, and check out the Fred Astaire pic at this site: [u]“For men, sartorial good taste can be reduced to one rule: If Fred Astaire would not have worn it, don’t wear it.”[/u]
The local humorist wrote a column about this in Sunday’s paper. It was a hoot. Just another thing that George doesn’t get and helps us to better understand why George believes some of the other things he believes.
Sacre Bleu de travail!
Live and let live, I always say. If Mr. Izz feels best in slacks, more power to him. But if George Will does relent and invites me over for cocktails after all, I will be wearing my Levis, or nothing.
I think you should go with the Levis, Nano…better for all involved, methinks I think George would agree
Nothing succeeds like a well-crafted threat. 
Aren’t nudie jeans just a little elitist?
I own plenty of suits and hats… my own tux(s) and more than a few bow ties.
Fred Astaire I know.
I’d rather Carey Grant but I don’t think Mr. Will could carry it off.
That said George Will can kiss my Levi covered arse. 
I’m currently sporting a black raw silk long sleeve button shirt, button fly 501 (cowboy tight) and a pair of Los Altos black lizard skin Westerns.
If you check Will’s stick I think you’ll find he is not a quart low and most likely a bow tie affixed to it.
Oh and George… 1963 just called and it wants it John John haircut back.
Only as much as the Emperor’s New Clothes.
Yes, but do you wear them without fail, such as to the grocery?
I have a series of Escher design bow ties that I only wear with my penguin suit which I only wear under duress, unfortunately, many times a year. Otherwise I wear a bolo tie, all our grocery stores are high end jobbers, ya gotta dress to shop, ya never know who yer going to run into. I’ll even turn my undies inside out.
on any given day at work, I could be sitting in my cube working on the computer - or wearing PAPR (full hood powered respirator), steel toed shoes, hair net and lab coat in a PRL (pilot plant).
Somehow, I don’t think flowing taffeta would cut it.
I know the environment. I just wear my Levis and whatever grungey thing is right for the weather, anyway. I keep hoping people will think maybe I’m from old money and couldn’t give a $#!+ less about it.
