(Lee Clower, NY Times)
Ew. I can't stand Tommy Hilfiger's awful clothing. Look at those three guys: this is how American men dress. Unfortunately. Gross. And if they're not wearing that, they're wearing unsightly jeans* with logo-festooned jerseys.
"When did Tommy Hilfiger become cool again?" wonders the New York Times. He didn't, I respond, and that's why he's successful.
And his horrible, ugly brand just sold for over a billion dollars. The end.
*Clarification: I'm certainly not saying that ALL jeans are unsightly. I'm not George Will.

I like jeans and gaudy sports jerseys! I think they're hawt! A pox on you and your Member's Only jacket!
I own a Tommy Hilfiger beach towel. Which we use to wipe the dog's dirty feet when she comes in from outside after the rain...
How on earth does the New York Times know what's "cool" anyway? Does Thomas Friedman ask a cab driver?
The middle guy reminds me of John McCain on the campaign trail: washed out nearly white chinos, a faded blue button down shirt, and a baseball cap, that emblem of American men.
The guy in the middle, Bartman, is Hilfiger himself!
