A little "what the pros use" story...

Hmmmm. Just talked on the phone with Nicole Apple. She and her
husband Jason own/operate Xclusive Xpeditions and can book a trip to
just about anywhere. Her picture is on the June 07 copy of Fly Rod &
Reel. Pretty lady. Met them at a fly show a couple years ago.
They're out of Bellevue, Washington.

I asked her about the Simms she is wearing in the picture. "Oh,
they're the best." And, of course I had to ask, "Does Simms give you
and your guides a discount on them?" Her answer was "NO!" When I
said that I have heard guides get a discount on Simms, she said that
was news to her.

I know the guides in Alaska and Kamchatka bought the waders themselves
because I remarked about the Simms label at an Orvis lodge.

As far as coming and visiting you to go fishing, uh, no thanks. I
have my own place in Maine and Georgia, thank you very much, plus the
pedestrian Lakewood Cabins on the Rapid.

You should visit some of these exotic spots that you own, Richard.
And, send us a TR. It's been years since you've posted a TR.
Probably longer than I've owned my Simms G3s. Remember, a dollar a
day for 400 days is a good deal. Of course to you, with all your
money and influence, *that* would be pedestrian.

I was in WalMart yesterday to get some car wax (yes, I'm forced to wax
my own car, how pedestrian, unlike you with Jeeves to do it) and
noticed they sell Haggar slacks and jackets. I mean, we are talking
some inexpensive stuff here, Richard. I mean, why, why would you buy
Sevile Row when you can get 20 of these perfectly good Haggars for
about the same price? Oh, I understand, you wanna *look* good, but
I've got news for you, Richard - you would look just as good in a
Haggar outfit as your $2000 Sevile Row 44P. Of course Jeeves might
look down his nose at you, but, what the hell.......

d;o)

This is fun.

I own no "Sevile Row" anything, but I have no doubt that anyone would
look just as good in Haggar as they would in anything from good ol'
"Sevile Row"...or Harts, Shaefer, and Marx...

Geez, you're just so unsavilized,
R
....and you really ought to quit shopping at Orvis-approved
streetcorners...I can hardly wait to hear what an investment your
Patrick Phillippi watch was. And $2000? What kinda cheap crap are you
gonna get for that...Armani or something?

Oh, golly, excuse me, I left off an l. Seville Row? Is that better.
Do they really make 46 portlies at the tailors on Seville Row? They
must, otherwise you wouldn't shop there. Don't wear double breasted,
Richard. It'll make you look *twice* as big as you are. d;o(

And yeah, this is still fun.

Oh, much, much...more amusing...

I have no idea.

Well, amongst other reasons...including the biggest reason of all...

Don't wear double breasted,
Richard. It'll make you look *twice* as big as you are. d;o(

If you say so...you're obviously a man who nose klothes...

And yeah, this is still fun.

I'd say it's more amusing for some than others...

If it'll help, you're REALLY unsavilized,

Yeah, but I have more TRs than you. You do fish, don't you?

See, persistence CAN pay off! You have, at long last, actually said
something. And the frosting is that you couldn't possibly be more right!

Don't knock HS&M. That stuff looks good and lasts forever.

Yeah, and Rolux and Omayga make some fine watches, too...

....now, if you're talking about Hart, Schaffner & Marx, that's a
different company...they aren't bespoke, but at least they aren't on
"Sevile" Row...
