Shalom Auslander wrote a very funny essay about the experience of wearing a Thom Browne. suit as an assignment. It appeared in the past weekend's NYT Magazine about wealth and NYC. Thom Browne. is also responsible for the Black Fleece line at Brooks Brothers which Auslander should try next as I'd love his take on wearing a cape and knickers. Other must reads in that issue are Daphne Merkin's essay in the back and James Traub's Measures of Wealth.
