The savages aren't adopting madras in the spirit of wearing good stuff. They are co-opting the raw material for good and instead, making them into cargo pants and g-strings. I turned down a hooker the other night-she was wearing patch.<br /><br />Finally, and again, my bad...I'm speaking of PATCH madras. The O'Connells stuff is beyond sublime. I have two pairs of them drying outside in the sun as I type this. Later this afternoon I'll be headed to the tailor to have them cuffed.ADGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612897500610475937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-22645510161441902022010-04-23T10:57:43.671-04:002010-04-23T10:57:43.671-04:00Aren't we supposed to be glad to see the savag...Aren't we supposed to be glad to see the savages finally turning to the good stuff? I just don't get it. Everyone complains that men are dressing like babies, then the minute they latch on to something good en masse, those same people start bitching about how it's over and we need to put them away. The suggestion to me is that when the masses start doing something you like, it makes it harder to feel 'above' them.<br /><br />I say, be glad guys have decided to look a little nicer this Summer, give the savages a chance. Maybe some of it will stick.<br /><br />Besides, have you seen the unbelievable selection of madras at O'Connell's? How cah you ignore that?Giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582043853388196139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-42915271974831354422010-04-22T18:47:10.072-04:002010-04-22T18:47:10.072-04:00The CH white bucks have proportions that are not m...The CH white bucks have proportions that are not matched by the Polo or J&M.
