Esquire Article: What Men Wear (The 12 Styles of American Men)

So I found this article and decided to take a look further. I have a big qualm with one of the entries which I show below:

This guy is The Workman

Also Known As: The blue-collar guy, Joe Six-Pack.

The description about his clothes, lifestyle etc….:

Recent sighting: Steel mills in Pittsburgh, artists’ studios in Brooklyn.

Hall of Famers: Jackson Pollock, Jack Kerouac, Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Signature accessory: Rips and/or paint splashes.

Bragging rights: Earned every one of those rips and paint splashes.

Pickup line: “Would you like to feel my calluses?”

Favorite book: The Grapes of Wrath.

On his iPod: Johnny Cash.

In his driveway: Vintage Ford pickup.

In his closet: Two-button cotton blazer ($1,500) by Etro; cotton jacket ($425) by Woolrich Woolen Mills; cotton shirt ($98) and cotton T-shirt ($27) by J. Crew; cotton jeans ($98) by Levi’s.

Show me The Workman aka Joe Sixpack who owns two blazers that total $1,500 and I’ll run outside and streak the neighborhood. (Yea, no one’s outside right now and it’s pitch black, but you get my drift).

AND…all this article is, is a glorified advertisement.
