    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I wish Michael Ginsberg was just left alone as being a quirky creative guy, instead of becoming a heavily paranoid schizophrenic. He was one of my favorite minor characters on the show, and a fun character to have around, even if he was strange. There are quite a few people like him. We will...

    Hoarders Have To Go.

    I can't stand people like him, buying and letting it decay. I believe the man is wasting not only his money, but he is destroying cars that those after him could benefit from, using or seeing, as preserved artifacts of an earlier era. Does anybody know what he does, or has done for a living?

    Brylcreem

    Brylcreem can be very shiny if used beyond their little dab suggestion, but in my experience, it's not as greasy as pomades like Royal Crown Pomade, or even a large amount of Dax Wave and Groom. For fixing up my hair on a general basis, I mostly use Groom and Clean, often in combination with...

    The Powder Room is Now Ladies Only. But I LIKE Talking To Ladies!

    I understand this perfectly well. I don't have an interest in posting there, but I'll be mindful of this.

    Ascots

    Nice cravats, everyone. I'm warming up to the idea of buying one of these, eventually. Also, are the two guys in the middle of this photo wearing cravats, or long scarves? It is a little hard for me to tell the difference, there. It's a picture of the German band Kraftwerk. Thanks...

    Very sharp, everyone! I try to dress up when I can, too.

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    The past two episodes have been more interesting than the first two of Season 7. Has anybody else felt the same way?

    Hair cuts

    A few of those pictures do have pointed sideburns. That's something I've taken to doing over the last few months. I've more or less been getting the same or similar haircuts for four years, by now. It's tapered sides and back, with the front down to the bottom of my eyebrows. I usually get a cut...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I agree with you. Perhaps I may have a somewhat irrational devotion to watching the show, but I would still watch Mad Men through an 8th, 9th, 10th, or maybe more seasons. It is a unique show amongst the sea of others airing. I am content with a Season 7 ending for the show, and I can still...

    New Rule: White Tie Only at Met Gala

    Don't forget, a sports jacket with rumpled khakis is also a suit, based on my experience. I am supportive of the new rule, which is surprising to me. I thought that white tie would eventually become irrelevant enough to die out, but this institution is looking to hold onto it longer. What other...

    Future Dictates of Fashion (From The Strand Magazine, June 1893)

    I am not sure what people of the 1890s thought men and women of the future would be wearing, but during the late 1700s or early 1800s, wasn't it Beau Brummell that had popularized frequent bathing? I think he also helped to popularize trousers instead of breeches around the time, so I might have...

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Here are some of my thoughts so far, about the latest two episodes. I liked the second episode more than the first, for some reason. Could it be because of Don's interactions with Sally? I suspect as much. Sally and Don's relationship seems to be growing stronger. There was a look of sadness on...

    What are you wearing today??

    This is advice that is typically seen on the other big clothing forums. I think narrower ties could look good with wider lapels, and the opposite could also be true. The ties I normally wear are narrow, between 2.25" and 3" wide, and my lapels are between 2.5" to 2.75" wide, so my style is...

    Show us your TIES

    Thank you, Annixter, for the explanation. The yellow knit tie I posted a page or two back has at the top a white or cream lining indicating where it is meant to be around the neck, and I follow the intended design when I tie it. Is this an example of a knot plan, also?

    Could you clarify what knot planned means, exactly? Thanks.

    Well dressed in the Congo - Sapeurs (2014)

    Ever since I've first heard of them, I've liked this movement. Is it a status symbol to dress like this in Congo, or are they perceived as an eccentric subculture?

    Suits - Pre 1920

    Herringbonekid, if only modern suit makers could get the rise right, and use thicker fabrics, similar suits to those in the picture might as well be in fashion today. I believe that those trim late 1910s and early 1920s suits with the taper could fit in quite well with the slim fitting...

    items of clothing that make you cringe

    I dislike dress shoes worn without socks, especially with a suit or sports jacket. The only version of this that looks acceptable to me, is khakis with casual boat shoes or slip-ons. I don't think a bowler hat would go with my style, either, nor would a top hat. A homburg is about the oldest...

    That's a nice suit, Widebrim. The lack of break on those pants is perfect, too.
