Dept. Of Things That Lord Whimsy Is Probably Not Behind, But Should Be: The Philly Tweed Ride
We cannot tell a lie: It makes us feel nice just knowing that Tweed Ride Philadelphia even exists. What better way to enjoy a Saturday in Novemeber, after all, than comb your moustache, deck yourself out in your finest tweed, and take a leisurely ride around the city with others who, like you, share an interest in flâneurism and all things bespoke. The Philly Tweed Ride takes its inspiration from the original in London, and from the looks of things, last year’s debut here in Philly was a jolly good time. Are we being serious about all of this? Yes. Stop looking at us like that. It’s positively ungentlemanly, Old Chap.

what’s the over/under on how many of these will be the same classy gents and dames who painted their genitals in the philly naked bike ride?

Tweed, the anti-snuggie.

This makes me happy. Anti-Snuggie indeed.

I’d rather endure thousands of snuggie crawls or snuggie-wearing bike riders than the pompous douchitude this display will be. Aren’t we dapper and ironic in our thin mustaches and thrift store tweed! Oy.

I don’t think it’s easy to argue that pomposity is, in a way, a more tolerable horse of a different color when there is a certain amount of classiness to back it up.

Is @julief one of the snuggie crawl organizers?
