    Guernsey jumper

    What's with wearing a turtleneck neck unrolled? I see it done quite often among the fashion crowd. Is it just a stupid fashion quirk or does it have any justification?

    Square toe oxfords: yey or nay?

    Yes, the soles are leather, as well as the heels. Heels are tricky in my experience: oftentime they look like stacked leather, but are really wood or other hard material, covered on the sides with leather strips to make it look like stacked leather. After some time these strips peel off at the...

    Square toe oxfords: yey or nay?

    Very true, I find that to be an issue with all vintage clothing in general, jackets, sweaters etc. I'm not sure if fabrics and leather shrink on their own over time, or maybe we are just bigger than our forefathers used to be... As for asking questions and pictures, I did (being as I am overly...

    Spectator Shoes

    Not necessarily. While synthetic coating is used today, linseed oil lacquer was in the past.

    Green Pants

    I like them in heavier fabrics for autumn/winter wear.

    Square toe oxfords: yey or nay?

    While I agree with the general consensus against square toed shoes (I find those long ones with a narrow, thin toe especially hideous), there are some notable exceptions. Clarks Wallabees and harness motorcycle boots are among them (along with a pair of light brown driving moccasins I used to...

    Hey folks, what do you think about these two? http://www.zappos.com/ben-sherman-marc-linen?PID=3753296&AID=11586853&utm_source=Deborah+Sessions&splash=none&utm_medium=affiliate&cjevent=97d8a70f9ec511e682481803730aa4a5_875803593919112275%3AkkU3yhTTB77m...

    how many leather jacket should you have?

    One or just a few means you get to love it more, IMHO.

    Tying neckties

    I doubt that ties were ever wrapped twice around the neck; but they were indeed cut shorter. I have a few of my late grandfather's, probably from the 1960s, that have a square tip and end a couple of inches above my navel. I think it makes for a very sporty look with jeans. On a different...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Does anyone know the origin of the construction of harness boots? I've seen a 1970s Australian movie where a character is wearing plain boots with a "harness" strapped on them. Could it be that the harness was originally an add-on accessory?

    Men rings - How to choose? What do you wear?

    Great thread, always cool to see other men not afraid to wear jewellery. I like rings that are sculpted. So far I have a silver one in the shape of a dragon, and I recently laid my eyes on a nice bronze one shaped as a lion's head, as well as a silver one shaped as a serpent. I also own a...

    Cowboy Boots

    I think I'll end up placing my order with Miguel Jones. He's charging $171 for a pair of custom mtm 14" boots. The price is hard to beat, and I think for my first pair of custom boots I'll be alright.

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    Hey fellas, I thought this thread would be good for my question. I recently saw a pair of old, navajo made silver shirt collar tips. Now all the contemporary ones I see are about 0.25" thick, and you're supposed to stick the collar tip into them, and then stop it in place with a screw. The pair...
