Amb Crocker an On The Fly Customer?

Obviously, the General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker testimony on Iraq is dominating the news today. Any self-respecting, troop-supporting citizen would probably find the actual testimony most interesting. Unfortunately, the first thing I noticed was that Ambassador Crocker seems to be wearing products that could have been bought at On The Fly.

Specifically, his button down shirt looks very similar to one of our best-selling Ike Behar shirts: the Pinpoint Oxford Behar Buttondown Shirt. Personally, I am not a fan of the Buttondown Shirt & Tie combination. In my worldview, buttondown shirts are best worn with the top button unfastened under a sportcoat or blazer (is there a more classic look than creased khaki pants, a white or blue buttondown Oxford, a navy blazer, and penny loafers?). But considering the sacrifices Ambassador Crocker has made serving his country, we will reserve judgment (on his wardrobe, that is).

The tie also looks eerily similar to Lee Allison's Classic Stripe Tie (to appear on the site tomorrow). The tie -- in the typical politician's color scheme of red, white, and blue -- shows a thin white stripe surrounded by two equal width blue stripes on a red background.

Is Ambassador Crocker an On The Fly customer? If we told you, we'd have to kill you.
