Are you in the know?




I like details, just little things that somebody else may not notice, but tells a tale about the garment or its owner. The details can uncover value, quality and craftsmanship. Recognizing these tell-tale signs is what I mean with that you are "in the know".

Example:
Let's say you are a businessman that just bought a new watch and are sitting in an executives meeting with 10 other guys. 9 of them are wearing big shiny watches like the Rolex or Panerai. You reach for your water, which lifts up your sleeve unveiling a very small and subtle stainless steel watch. These 9 guys laugh ha ha ha what a cute little watch, but the tenth guy is quiet, because he recognizes the vintage Patek Philippe worth a 100k. This guy is "in the know" and this is the guy you want to impress.
