Kudos for the

What readers are saying:
AAAC is now the "Sartorial Continuum"
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". --
Captain R., Pensacola, Florida USA
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'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.
--Starting Forum
Member
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!

WARNING:
THIS SITE MAY BE LIFE CHANGING!!
I
have been a fan and avid reader of your web site for over
a year now and have learned so much from you and your
members. Thank you for developing such a wonderful web
site. It is truly a great help to men everywhere, that
want to look better but don’t know where to begin. --
P.D, Boston, MA
"I've
been on AAAC for a little over a year now, and it has
helped me go from jeans, polos and black shoes to khakis,
polos, and a budding collection of Allen Edmond’s shoes.
Well, it's a start!" -- NY
I
love your site, and read it often. It's one of the few
dependable sources out there for men's fashion that I
respect.
Andy,
Thank you very much for your work. I should say that your web site
initiated so quick change in my belief system that it is comparable only
with the Neuro-Linguistic Programming workshop I took two years ago!
-- D.G, Australia
"Going from any other forum to AAAC is like
going from AAA ball to the majors. The guys in the minors are there for a
reason." - NJ
"Your site has taken me from wearing worn white athletic socks
with Birkenstocks, shorts, and oversized T-shirts to wearing J. Press
suits and Brooks Brothers ties in three months!" -- PA, NY
"Your web site is terrific. I can imagine a
young fellow just starting out in professional life finding useful advice
on AAAC. Clothes are expensive today, and appearances matter more than
ever, which is either a further blight on society's value systems or a
kind of democratization of style, depending on perspective. Ask Andy
fulfills a function, and that is really a worthwhile service!
You should be very proud of your achievement, Andy; your web site matters.
Thanks again for your kind professionalism." -- J.M. NM

looking for tips of removing beer stains from their favorite
Hermes tie...."
PLAYBOY

"... It's chock-full of

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
