Has anyone read Mr. William Kissel's work?

Grettings all:
I was woundering if anyone here as read William Kissel's work in the Robb Report. I have found his work to be of great intrest. The Robb Report can be stuffy at times (well ok all the time, thats there business), but Mr. Kissel has done some great articles on conservative clothing, tailors, fine mens shops, and fashion in general. You can check out his work in the Robb Report magazine or online at www.robbreport.com.

I spent 3 or 4 days with Bill Kissel at the Custom Tailors & Designers Association convention earlier this year in Las Vegas. the reason you like his writing is because he is a reallly down to earth man who writes of his passion for fine clothing. This comes through in what you read.

Dear Mr. Logsdail:
Thank you for the nice reply. A Tailors convention in Las Vegas sounds like fun. What goes on at a function like that? It must of been a real treat to spend time with Mr. Kissel. Hope I can come out to New York sometime and see your shop with my good friend Tom Hudson.

Best Regards,

Bill Kissel was invited tospeak at our convention, which he did most eloquently. He enjoyed himself so much he stayed andparticipated for another two days. we were really lucky.

At the convention tailors, salesmen, woolen merchants, cmt houses, shirtmakers and a host of others, come and converse, help each other out and do business together. We have a fashionshow, plenty to drink, workshops, teaching classes, plenty to drink, speakers, an auction, a black tie event honoring te persident of the CTDA (me this year) and have more to drink.

I may joke, but firmly believe this organization represents some of the finest clotheirs in the country. We get together to learn fom each other.

Leonard
