A Trad Confused

The journey of a bipolar Sartorialist.

108 notes

…and right here let me say a word about conservatism. It does not mean, as many believe or affect to believe, a stubborn refusal to discard what is old and unworn, nor an old-fogeyish prejudice against innovations of any kind. It really means a determination to retain what has been tried and proven to be good, and to refrain from the exploitation—simply because it is new—of what is essentially cheap and silly.

Winthrop Holly Brooks, President, Brooks Brothers (via voxsart)

Great quote,and also interesting from the standpoint that BB innovated so many things in menswear…
