What readers are saying:

Not only I am having great fun with the Forum, but I consider it a very challenging and serious use of my time. In fact, the lack of personal time that I can dedicate to reading, thinking and writing on AAAC is my only regret. You have created something truly remarkable and I see a great future for it!
-- U.A. Rome/Milano Italy

AAAC is now the "Sartorial Continuum"

I have found no place that gives a more honest, accurate, thoughtful, empathetic, and artistic input on fashion, style, and standard than this forum.
I have never read a forum that shares so much respect and politeness between members of such a diverse union.
A combination of British standard, tradition, and taste brouged with fearless American flare and fashion forwardness.
I am widely known for my marketing genius (not my fashion) and I have been pondering formal names for this forum. Names that the outside world may call the forum with respect.
The two I have come up with are CoFS, Council of Fashion & Standards, and the Sartorial Continuum.
I have decided on the latter, for it has a greater esoteric, stylish, and borderline pretentious ring to it.
Yes, I was inspired by the omnipotent "Q".  --  Captain R., Pensacola, Florida USA

I enjoy your forums! I stumbled upon the site when I was doing a Google search for a suit brand that was unfamiliar to me. Your forum provided a wealth of information, and I have learned a lot.  Please keep up the good work.  -- TX

Thank all of you for the wealth of knowledge and expertise you have shared through this forum. It has been a gold mine for sartorial know-how and inspiration and I am truly grateful for this. I also appreciate the camaraderie and community spirit which exists throughout these fora. -- A. P., Quebec City, QC, Canada

I am really glad to be a part of this brotherhood. Men need something like this. It is very nice to talk to other guys about miss-steps and concerns regarding clothes. You Rock Andy!!!  -- New Member

I've never had a place to exchange thoughts and pick up pearls of wisdom until I found your fine site! -- RRA, PA

The site is a great help and the Forums offer fantastic advice from guys who are willing to share their knowledge.  -- E. D.,  Spain

Only you guys understand me! Ever since I came into this site some months ago, it’s really improved my sense of fashion. The vast majority of advice I’ve gotten here is great. On most forums, the advice is worth what you’ve paid for it.

Over here, I don’t think I’ve received bum advice yet. Also, I’ve found this site is great for is asking very detailed, obscure, and specific questions about clothing, style, and fashions that would just get a blank stare from most other people. For a detailed oriented person who takes pride in his clothing and look, this resource has moved me up a level from good to great. -- Starting Forum Member

I find your forum and website excellent. The quality of the participants is beyond compare. Where else could one find the educated and erudite tone, the genuine passion for all matters sartorial with the gentlemanly and welcoming atmosphere? A forum populated by a wild cross section ranging from renowned tailors, a famous shirt maker, and the like, all the way to us Ordinary Joes?

I make visiting your forum a daily ritual. Aside from the tremendous amounts of useful information, I find it most refreshing to just enjoy the quality of the posts. I feel that, like so many other things, the art of writing has gone down precipitously....your forum being a most welcome respite from the everyday standards. 

I suppose I could summarize my feelings by saying that it feels great to know that there are many wonderful people who still care about excellence in all areas of their lives. They gather at AAAC! -- A. E., Cayman Islands

Clothes MINDED:


A recent exchange in the Forum says much about contemporary dress:

A Member stated:  "The last time I went to the Nutcracker Matinee Performance, I was DEFINITELY "overdressed" according to apparent contemporary standards."

 

AskAndy Forum Member Liberty Ship profoundly responded:  "You may be overdressed according to contemporary standards. But someone has to hold the line. ... To conform would require that you wear cargo shorts, flip flops, and a baseball cap that remains on throughout the performance."

"Children will be there. Dress up for them. Maybe they will remember."

Thank you for your website.  I've been using many of your web pages (I even printed some of them) since prep school.  There were only a few senior superlatives to go around and you are certainly partly responsible for my snagging "most likely to be seen in dress code."
Best, Paul

Good Morning Andy!

 

Thank you for such an informative and clear guide, I did not realize how little I knew about the tradition I am soon to be a part of. 

 

It  gave me so much helpful information in such a small amount of time it was difficult to think about anything else this week.

  

Thank you so much for your help and information, we don’t know each other, but I can honestly say I couldn’t have done this without you!  

--  B. W.
