    Lands End Catalog - Summer 2007

    I was perusing the latest Lands End catalog and on page 62 there is a photo of a handsomely-dress young lad adjusting the tie of his also handsomely-dressed father (one would suppose from the photo). Well, the young lad is wearing a jacket and shirt and what looks like a kilt, pleated to the stripe.

    It's not a sharp-looking kilt, but it is pleated, it is a tartan, and it is a young boy wearing it in a major fashion catalog.

    Made my day.

    How about, "Not!" Plaid bermuda shorts. Who'd wear plaid bermudas with a suit jacket? Oh well. Sure looks like a kilt in the photo.

    They're most likely Madras shorts, not Berumdas.

    That's a very good impression, I would have recognized it anywhere.

    They do have some good prices on some close out items on their website however. I just need to work on talking without moving my jaw now so I can fit in.

    Actually, I think you are likely to see such in Bermuda, no kidding.

    As to Lands End, there are quite a few good ole boys who buy from them, and they don't have that funny Down East accent nor pahl thay-uh cahrs in thuh yahd.

    Where else can you find 17 1/2 X 37 shirts off the rack?

    Considering that Lands End has partnerned with Sears, I question the charges of snobbery being thrown around here.

    thescot is quite correct; TRUE Bermuda Shorts are very appropriate with a jacket for business attire:

    http://bermuda-online.org/shorts.htm

    I guess I would be one of those "idiots", then, because I still long for a pair of authentic Bermudas to wear with my blue blazer.

    Read the article for the "link" between Bermudas and Highland attire.

    Different horses for courses, gentlemen.
