    Will we ever see a return to more formal clothes?

    Agreed. Business casual arose here from the culture of its time. It rose from the Boomers who were in charge at the time, and their attempt to get more workers in a competitive market. The whole idea of the "hip boss", I mean look at him he wears jeans even though he makes X amount a year! He is...

    Long Haired Lyndon

    Everything I've heard about the man says he had an aristocratic personality, and if Louis XIV could get over his station in birth I'm sure they would have gotten along quite well. LBJ loved power, and loved the trappings of it even more. I certain ways he was the opposite of Jimmy Carter...

    Will we ever see a return to more formal clothes?

    I believe that the reason they originally denied Mike Nolan the right to wear a suit, it was because their wasn't any suit making sponsors at the time. The only way they could wear a suit was if one of the sponsors allowed it, which Reebok did, but I agree it's a sad state of affairs.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Tell me Bil, how did you get my ex's mother to not only put that hat on, but stop talking long enough to take a picture! She always claimed she hated hats!

    Will we ever see a return to more formal clothes?

    Football teams wear suits as well, before and after games and during celebrations. So do most Basketball teams. I remember a story not to long ago about one of the NFL coaches wanting to wear a suit for a special occasion on the field, but he was denied because coaches are suppose to where their...

    Yeah a few of these are freak show pictures. Back in the day people used to buy them after walking threw and seeing the visiting freaks. That would be my guess with the short and tall people, and Elk boy. Maybe even the armadillo.

    Will we ever see a return to more formal clothes?

    Perhaps, I simply don't see it. As I said even in pop culture today the tux is used in formal occasions, not ultra formal. Every cliche action movie that has a character going to a black tie event, or a casino grand opening, or what can simply be called "the rich people ball" has the protagonist...

    Will we ever see a return to more formal clothes?

    I just don't see the suit that we know changing anytime in our life time, or our children's lifetime. The materials being used to make them? Sure. What lapel is favored at what times? Sure. But the overall look of what a suit is? No I don't see that changing anytime soon, or even into the next...

    This generation of kids...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDuIvZkLun8 The most honest rant I've heard in my life. "Now that's what all the kids want to be. "Oh I want to be young and stupid!" But you know what you don't want to be that!..... But you can't be young forever that's against the laws of the universe!'"

    Will we ever see a return to more formal clothes?

    I don't see tux's becoming ultra formal. Formal yes... ultra no. Even today their are black tie parties, and the simple fact the people wear them to weddings still, and of course most proms have tux's of some kind even if they look horrible. Even in pop culture their is usually a high class...

    Ever "Ike" a dress jacket?

    Wow! Thank you for sharing John that is just awesome! I think I'm going to break down this summer and find an Ike jacket for myself. I just love the look of them. It's a shame that the Air Force canceled the Hap Arnold heritage coat.

    Either that or Spuds' more dignified father Sport, and his uncle Skeeter :P.

    Will we ever see a return to more formal clothes?

    Couldn't agree more Jim. The harder it is to get a job, the more people are going to attempt to stand out, and be taken seriously.

    Will we ever see a return to more formal clothes?

    The suit has survived well over a hundred years, and I don't see it disappearing anytime soon. I don't see it becoming the normal wear for the "average joe" again either, but I hardly see it being replaced completely, and especially not by a sports coat. The suit survived bell bottoms and...
