Esquire comment on hats

Yeah...that's the tool who makes snide cracks about hats. Ohhh he looks soooooo stylish there. What a d-bag! Sullivan will never be a Glenn O'Brien. How many times do you think he got a swirly in high school?

But I'm sure that's a $100 undershirt.

 

[Stoney]

It looks like he just got up from a nap in the lazyboy and threw on a jacket.
Now that's style!

He looks to be still getting them!!!!

Shameless theft of a link from Styleforum - $1000+ t-shirts

I don't know - I'm pretty sure he was napping while wearing the jacket.

Nick ain't all that bad. Everyone has to have a job after all. It's not like he's drowning puppies.

I don't normally go in for fashion snarkiness, but since he's opted to demean the noble fedora...

*snark*

Hey easy [bad] That's me

Can't we all just get along

 

[Fletch]

There, that's better, don't you think?

"Odd and anachronistic". That's low.
"Idiosyncratic" would have gotten the point across just as well, but he obviously had a knife to twist.

 

[DOUGLAS]

I don't know - I'm pretty sure he was napping while wearing the jacket.

Perhaps he was napping while writing his brilliant commentary as well.

At the very least he could have his chinos pressed.

Oh Esquire, where hast thou gone?

If Nick Sullivan is a fashion guru then I'm a

36F in Dallas at 2:00 PM. Not quite brass monkey weather.

Meh, I'm not quite sure what to make of the praise of British GQ here.... I can only presume that your US options are unbelievably diabolical that it looks good by comparison. The last straw for me was when they annointed that charmless, and sartorially challenged oaf Boris Johnson as one of their men of the year (no comment on his politics here - I limit my venom at this point ot his distinct lack of style and grace). Never again shall I buy that publication. That said, I could'nt really get into it more than once or twice a year.... in my personal estimation, they got 'it' howlingly wrong at least as often as they got it 'sorta' right. The biggest turn off for me, however, was their apparently sincerity when they recommended things like a GBP200 pair of jeans, or a GBP500 jumper or whatever as serious, everyday wear for the regular man. I'm not above paying a little more for quality, but frankly mostly they seemed to be promoting labels as much as anything.

FWIW, Esquier UK recently had a very nice set of articles on bespoke suiting. Not quite The Chap, mind.

Way to go Fletch! that's great -

Power gives a man style the same as it gives him sex appeal. Ie: it doesn't, and women and men should stop pretending it does.

See above quote re power, only replace power with money.

Apparently riding on the coattails of the former fashion glory that was once Esquire has wrinkled the clothing of Mr. Nick Sullivan.
