I am admittedly harsh on The New York Times, but I obviously enjoy reading it or I wouldn't know what they were misreporting. They published a nice piece on Brooks Brothers Thursday, though. BB's looks very good and seems to be getting back to its roots. A true preppy tradition! The current upswing in preppy populartity is wonderful, but it will pass, and it is comforting to know that after the fad passes, institutions like Brooks Brothers will still be there for us. I am interested in trying out the crazy "laser box" shirt tailoring thing. But to be honest, isn't an old gentleman with a tape measure, a piece of chalk, and needles between his teeth what tailoring is all about?I am afraid something is amiss with J Crew, though. Not much in the most recent spring catalog from Capri was very exciting. And I have not received any other spring catalogs from them as I usually have by this time of year. Don't dissapoint me Mickey.
