I used to like to check in to see George himself - liked his personality and his quirky outfits. Sad to say, people like me may be part of the reason he's gone because even in the years I was spending constantly, I never once ordered from his line. I don't even remember why I didn't, but I know I have no Simonton in my wardrobe.

I enjoyed his shows and sorry to see he wasn't asked to continue on QVC. I bought a few things--best is a beautiful black/ivory houndstooth jacket w/matching scarf. I think it came in another color way too.

I enjoyed him too. If my memory serves me correctly, he was the first on the Q at least 3 years back to introduce the now fashion craze (cold shoulder).

@Westshopper

I think you're right about the cold shoulder. The first (and last) one I bought was a Simonton animal print turtleneck with long sleeves. I wore it once and it was uncomfortable under a jacket, so I cut off the sleeves. It's now a sleeveless turtleneck.

I think that may have been the last thing I bought from his line. I don't know what happened to him, but his fashion "vision" changed and he went off in a different direction - one that I didn't like.

And ... about the above turtleneck: the collar wasn't faced . just a little hem. SG did that on her butterknit turtlenecks also. I ended up facicng them myself ... easier than returning them. Collar is floppy if they aren't turned or faced.
