Press commercial, but I live in Cleveland and only get the standard "99% of at this weekend only at Joseph A", well I think you understand.

I'm looking forward to the arrival of that tan tweed jacket. Now if I could just find a decent pair of 32/33x34 grey, flannel trousers.Gregorius Mercatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646438198533603643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-27250332213579520782010-12-08T18:06:47.763-08:002010-12-08T18:06:47.763-08:00Wait till you here it.

Anyway, it makes me smile when I hear it, unlike most advertising which sends me into a minor fit of rage.Giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582043853388196139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-60876733983024682702010-12-08T15:42:53.523-08:002010-12-08T15:42:53.523-08:00People actually like this ad?

It's timeless. What else is timeless? A J.Press Jacket!<br /><br />What I find especially odd is that they use taste and smell as sensory references when they are almost impossible to impart via the radio. They're clearly going for some kind of nostalgic reminiscence, but if they are playing the ad on a station that plays jazz, why not incorporate jazz into the ad? <br /><br />PS not slagging off the products; I average about 1 J.Press purchase a month.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072326645504112724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-42296013223301180922010-12-08T14:07:48.431-08:002010-12-08T14:07:48.431-08:00@L.A.

...Excellent post. Couldn't agree with you more.<br /><br />One of the reasons why I stopped watching TV is the ads. One of the reasons I dislike radio--even the local classical station--is the ads.<br /><br />The J. Press ad sounds great. Perhaps it stands out precisely because it isn't full of jumpy "music," sound effects, and an announcer hopped up on speed.<br /><br />Class--it's not just for the elite anymore!Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-53519754878499257252010-12-07T08:07:19.850-08:002010-12-07T08:07:19.850-08:00Any possibility of your recording the J.

Like the ludicrous "Purple Label" pricing, only once these items hit the thrifts or the desperation retail discount sales do they become worth it. As for true Ivy League style, anyone can walk around the Yard, attend a grad-school party, or even a gallery opening to see that sadly, Ivy League is rarely found within he Ivy League... but don't tell that to those who are still marketing it. The truth is, most of the "Old Families" now have children who can't even get into those schools (even as legacy), and those within the halls just dress like schlubs. It's sad, but true. Country Clubs are now offering "casual dining", Yacht Clubs now allow bathing suits within, and and the Old Houses on the coast and the interior are seeing formality die when the last WWII grandparent does. The truth is, only those who dress by choice, who choose to be on time, who decide to slow down and honor those around them will preserve the formality, and luckily dispense with the repressive baggage that accompanied it in its original. Keep up the good work!yankeewhiskypapahttp://yankee-whisky-papa.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-22571722840620662572010-12-07T07:04:03.247-08:002010-12-07T07:04:03.247-08:00was in there this AM. just fantastic... geeking ou...was in there this AM. just fantastic... geeking out.james at 10engineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957344808503607428noreply@blogger.com
