Forum: Andy's Trad Forum

And a New Word ... TRAD ... was coined! It began thus: "Hello to all. I'm Harris. I live in the Northeastern U.S. and tend toward the American Look. Or Trad or whatever you wish to call it. Sack suits, tassel loafers, shetland crewnecks, Harris Tweeds, madras, etc. I am interested in knowing how many forum members have stuck with this look--the J. Press-Brooks-Andover Shop crowd." And now the New Word has a home of its own.

  1. Sticky Thread Sticky: A Trad "What are you Wearing"

    There's one in the regular Fashion Forum and there's one in the Temporary SF Forum. Should Trads have one of their own?
