Narrow-Wale Corduroy Trousers for Autumn…

Egad, these hipstersz! Wherever they go, they demand their skinnie clothesz! Anthrax Store, we hold you responsible!

Skinnie clothes are insinuating their way into the once-impenetrable bastion of traditional attire: the Brooks Bros, est. 1818. Used to be, it was a given you’d get a nice, voluminous, full-cut Oxford shirt or khaki pantsz there. Nowadays, watch out! If you’re not specifical with the uppity young salesperson wearing the ironical horn-rim eyeglasses, you’ll be walking out looking like Mr. Emo. Please, please, please make sure you insist on the time-honoured styling. Do not pander to current tastes. Eschew the need to become a slave to fashion!

That said, if you are hard-up for female companionship, please direct yourself to the nearest Anthrax women’s clothing store. (Anthrax is also known to many by its other name, Anthropologie.) Have a seat on one of their comfy, oversized couches and watch the talent roll in. Much of it will be unattached single women, either individually or in pairs, looking for the exact same thing you are. It is almost as safe a bet as a win wager on the Thoroughbred Frankel that you’ll not be walking out of Anthrax alone. Best wishes!
