Letters From North America humorously skewers fashion quirks
Peary Perry lampoons Fathers Day gifts and fashion industry tricks. The piece mocks after shave, scents, and the clothing market with exaggerated sizes, price linked sizing, and shifted fashion trends. It riffs on American vs. foreign fits, fitted shirts, and the absurdity of changing styles to spur purchases. The column ends with biting notes on Italian sizing and trust in designers.
