    '20s jacket

    Band Jacket... ...Scotrace had a similar one on a thread. The side vents are so you can sit down in the bandstand in the park.

    Do you have a nickname?

    In the Air Force... ...nicknames are "call signs." You get them for a variety of reasons -- a notable event, a play on your name, etc. Mine is "Thurston" as in Thurston Howell III from Gilligan's Island. I got it by being the budget guy, dressing up, and -- at one point -- driving a big...

    Vintage Homage in Today's Casual Office

    I think what... ...what you've suggested is a good idea. You work there and are the best judge of what goes. I probably did a poor job, but what I was suggesting was along the same vein, i.e., not a suit, and you co-workers seeing you most often in shirt sleeves with a tie -- not so very...

    Vintage Homage in Today's Casual Office

    I'd say easing into it... ...works well. We slowly went from ties to the polo shirt/khaki thing. After 9/11, all the military guys began to wear flight suits or BDUs every day. At that point all justification for dressing up seemed to go out the window. I never went all the way down the...

    The Workplace...A Modern Tragedy?

    Hmm... ....interesting perspectives. The purpose of a work place is to get work done. The notion that it exists to suppress or fulfill people isn't sensible. My experience is that good workplaces are where everyone remembers why they are really there -- the work. It's hard for me to say...

    What are you wearing today??

    SVB Love the suit. I've ditched casual Friday for Bow Tie Friday. As I've said before on the Lounge: "if you see me in a bow tie, smile, its Friday." People now associate my bow ties with Friday -- which ain't bad.

    Just a Little Announcement

    Best wishes... ...for a long and happy life together.

    Loosened ties...

    Good Points CB... ...I agree. On dress codes, they are going the way of the dodo fast. Even when they exist, they are often barely even enforced. I don't know that they deserve more than a shrug.

    Don't shun... embrace the corduroy suit.

    From... ...time to time I've looked at a corduroy sport coat, but a suit... As a sufferer of PTSSD, that is Post-Traumatic Seventies Stress Disorder, I have some lingering corduroy issues. It's frequent wear by smelly hippies haunts me still.

    Tailors Catalogues

    It's interesting... ...to me how many clothing items of that day were considered essential, and that people hardly have anymore. That overcoat ad for example. I've had the same one for 20 years and it hardly has any wear. I imagine in those days when you wore things like that seven days a...

    Gentlemen's Shoes

    It would depend... ...on your feet. Hypothetically, if you have unusually shaped feet -- particularly one larger than the other -- it would give you a far better fit. The fact that you can't resole them shouldn't be too concerning. I have a pair of Johnson and Murphys I've had for over...

    Advice and ideas regarding proposals

    Well, It's... ...best you found out beforehand. Remember that a stern chase is a long chase, but we don't live forever. Any person should get reasonable time to make up their mind, and that's it. Don't wait forever. If that fellow knows what you want and if he doesn't move within a year...

    Do you have a crush?

    By the time... ...I got married, a big sloppy bachelor party wasn't in the plan. I kinda wish I had some of the great ideas here.
