I understand you had higher hopes for where you'd end up. But the simple fact is that I chose you, not some fashion-forward type who'd wear you once every few weeks to lobster boils and garden walks and might even have you professionally laundered. Beyond that, I need to make clear up front that, for me, you aren't leisure wear, weekend wear, or yacht wear: I won't be wearing you in the off-hours when I'm not in a suit, because I don't own a suit. I'm going to need to rely on you all day, every day, day in and day out, until summer is over or you fall in tatters to the ground and cease to be clothing anymore.
