I have found no place that gives a more honest, accurate,
thoughtful, empathetic, and artistic input on fashion, style,
and standard than this forum.
I have never read a forum that shares so much respect and
politeness between members of such a diverse union.
A combination of British standard, tradition, and taste
brouged with fearless American flare and fashion forwardness.
I am widely known for my marketing genius (not my fashion) and
I have been pondering formal names for this forum. Names that
the outside world may call the forum with respect.
The two I have come up with are CoFS, Council of Fashion &
Standards, and the Sartorial Continuum.
I have decided on the latter, for it has a greater esoteric,
stylish, and borderline pretentious ring to it.
Yes, I was inspired by the omnipotent "Q". --

I enjoy your
forums! I stumbled upon the site when I was doing a Google
search for a suit brand that was unfamiliar to me. Your forum
provided a wealth of information, and I have learned a lot.
Please keep up the good work. -- TX
Thank all of you for the
wealth of knowledge and expertise you have shared through this
forum. It has been a gold mine for sartorial know-how and
inspiration and I am truly grateful for this. I also appreciate
the camaraderie and community spirit which exists throughout
these fora. -- A. P., Quebec City, QC, Canada
I am really glad to be a part of this
brotherhood. Men need something like this. It is very nice
to talk to other guys about miss-steps and concerns
regarding clothes. You Rock Andy!!! -- New Member
I've never had a
place to exchange thoughts and pick up pearls of wisdom until I
found your fine site! -- RRA, PA
The site is a great
help and the Forums offer fantastic advice from guys who are
willing to share their knowledge. -- E.
D., Spain
Only
you guys understand me!
Ever
since I came into this site some months ago, it’s really
improved my sense of fashion. The vast majority of advice I’ve
gotten here is great. On most forums, the advice is worth what
you’ve paid for it.
Over
here, I don’t think I’ve received bum advice yet. Also, I’ve
found this site is great for is asking very detailed, obscure, and
specific questions about clothing, style, and fashions that would
just get a blank stare from most other people. For a detailed
oriented person who takes pride in his clothing and look, this
resource has moved me up a level from good to great. --

I find your forum and website excellent. The
quality of the participants is beyond compare. Where else
could one find the educated and erudite tone, the genuine
passion for all matters sartorial with the gentlemanly and
welcoming atmosphere? A forum populated by a wild cross section
ranging from renowned tailors, a famous shirt maker, and the
like,
all the way to us
Ordinary Joes?
I make visiting your forum a daily ritual. Aside
from the tremendous amounts of useful information, I find it
most refreshing to just enjoy the quality of the posts. I
feel that, like so many other things, the art of writing has
gone down precipitously....your forum being a most welcome
respite from the everyday standards.
I suppose I could summarize my feelings by saying
that it feels great to know that there are many wonderful people
who still care about excellence in all areas of their
lives. They gather at AAAC! --

MENS CLOTHING WEBSITES (#4)
Thank you for your
website. I've been using many of your web pages (I even printed some of them)
since prep school. There were only a few senior superlatives to go around and
you are certainly partly responsible for my snagging "most likely to be seen in
dress code." Best, Paul
This brand new, patent-pending Collar
Card is the world's first and only credit card sized
collar stay holder, which fits conveniently into the
wallet. The Collar Card is fantastic and unique: a card
that contains four “pop out” collar stays for whenever
you need (or forget) one!
The individual stays even “snap”
back into the card to store neatly for future use.For
clothiers and other businesses, they can be personalized
with your logo and information for an unbeatable
giveaway item that gets your logo into your clients'
wallets! I obviously think it's a great idea!!!

THIS WEEK’S
RECOMMENDATIONS
KNOW-IT-ALLS:
AskAndyAboutClothes.com
is a revelation. Men think about clothes with fire and intensity
and all day long. They discuss limited-edition sneakers and
custom-made loafers.
They discuss T-shirt makers and pocket
squares and how those squares should never match ties (exactly,
that is; they can match a minor color in a patterned tie). If
you’re looking for ardor and surprise idioms from a board, look
no longer.
Esquire
Fashion Editor, Nick Sullivan says about this site: "One
respected Web forum, AskAndyAboutClothes.com, claims more than
14,000 sartorial minded members from around the globe - some of
them experts looking to buy spats in Wisconsin, some just guys
looking for tips of removing beer stains from their favorite
Hermes tie...."

Here is a recent
testimonial about THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MEN'S CLOTHES:
"I received The
Encyclopedia of Men's Clothes this afternoon, Andy, and it's
terrifically useful! Thank you for explaining how to access the
various disk components--your instructions helped me to quickly
navigate the book.
I particularly like your logical, straightforward approach to each
section. I mean to say, it really makes sense to explain why
something matters, then how to care for it once you've chosen to
incorporate the thing into your life, and then to include a
history of the item, which focuses the reader's attention on its
intrinsic value to a gentleman's kit.
Your book is more useful than Esquire's Encyclopedia of
20th-Century Men's Fashions, because the latter serves as a
chronicle not a guide. The Encyclopedia of Men's Clothes provides
a road map for fellows who wish to understand the choices they
make, and who wish to make choices they understand. I am simply
delighted with your book!" -- J. de M. NM
