Kerry will be best dressed POTUS in nation's history

TAKE THAT, CHIMPY!!

August 26, 2004 -- IF John Kerry is elected president, he will certainly be the best-dressed chief executive in the nation's history. A dandy who met Kerry at a 1971 reception in Minneapolis before a Eugene McCarthy-headlined antiwar rally noticed that Kerry was wearing custom-made shoes from the London shop of John Lobb.

"Are those Lobb?" our source asked. "Yes," confirmed Kerry, who was also wearing bespoke gray flannel trousers below his military-issue khaki shirt and his dog tags. Our dapper source also suspects Kerry had his dress whites tailored on Savile Row because, "Even admirals don't have uniforms that well cut."

14. He needs to lose the pink ties. He has a million of them.

They make his face look greener and, thus, more "corpse-like".

6. Although Bush spends a lot of money on tailored suits

shirts etc.....

Being best dressed sometimes connotes spending
too much money on something unnecessary in voter's
minds.
What Kerry doesn't need more of is a patrician air
about him.

16. Bush's suits are as elite as anybody's

Bush's past style lapses are forgivable because, since his inauguration he's been wearing some of the best tailored garments --Oxxford suits. The Chicago-based Oxxford Clothes is the gentlemen's club for the well-dressed. In the summer issue of Forbes' FYI magazine, Oxxford was appointed the best suit to own in the list of "50 of America's Best." The article touted the fact that the suits are still made by hand entirely in Chicago and that pattern pieces are individually cut from one piece of fabric.

<snip>

Oxxford has dressed some of the most powerful and famous men in the world, in addition to the current president, his father and former Presidents Gerald R. Ford and Lyndon B. Johnson, mob boss Al Capone, Cary Grant and Edward, the Duke of Windsor. Hollywood stars Nicolas Cage in "The Family Man" and Jeff Bridges in "The Contender" were costumed in Oxxford suits.

When brothers Louis and Jacob Weinberg founded the company in 1916, they were determined to make the best suit. They used the finest fabrics and designed only simple, timeless shapes. This guiding principle ensures Oxxford continues to create top-notch garments for a price --$2,000 to $14,000 --that loyal customers are willing to pay. Oxxford produced 25,000 handmade garments and had $30 million in sales last year, according to Roger Parfitt, the company's chief operating officer.

Oxxford's signature details include pockets lined with Belgian linen to prevent sagging and silk thread for enhanced durability .And, of course, only the best gabardine, flannel, silk, tweed and cashmere from European mills are used.

I've already seen LTTE's asking how a man that rich can relate to 'the common man' ... this snippet isn't going to help.

Of course, the knuckle-draggers refuse to believe that * has nothing in common with them either, but ....

Chester Alan Arthur (1881-1885)

Well tailored suits on a 6'4" frame...sartorially perfect.

I winced the other day when I saw Bush wearing...a short sleeved dress shirt!! Ugh. He looked like "Wally" from "Dilbert". All that was missing was the pocket protector. :-)
