Stephen....Main Street

This is the second time this week, dear reader, that I have seen this attractive young man clad in madras, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself and inquire: "sir, have you a predilection for plaid?"

"I love madras," he told me with a laugh, then continued, "I must have 40 pairs of madras shorts." (My fashion anthropology colleagues and I classify the amassing of any clothing item in excess of 23 as a predilection. I had my answer.) These trousers he found at J Crew a couple of years ago; the shirt with an interesting stitched detail comes from Banana Republic.
