Re: Downton Abbey

Gentlemen Speaking as a "Yank" from the otherside of the pond, I wish that we had not descended into the mire of Gentlemanly Modernity. I wish we had kept the good sense of dressing for dinner, not the pajama class, sockless, cut off shorts, dirty tee shirt, scruffy hair & unshaven wonders that we h...

Re: Burberry trenchcoat

Gentlemen Pardon me but has any body looked at the brute of a monster from Brooks Brothers, last that I remember I looked at it and bought it at 1/2 the price of the then Burbury's and it seemed just as equall to the B's.
