    What can I wear a wool tie with?

    I wear my... ...family tartan wool tie with less formal jackets focusing on those with rough fabrics and textures -- tweedy sorts of things.

    beard advice

    I think you look... ...smashing the way you are. If the beard won't behave without too much trouble, you can always default back to the handlebar. I wouldn't worry about "elongating" my face if I were you. My impression is that your face type is one that goes with a wider variety of hats.

    Agreed... ...I think so too. Funny story day from before yesterday. I was leaving work on a rainy day and had my fedora, storm coat, and umbrella. One of my Lt Cols starting giving me grief about having too much rain gear -- the implication being that a storm coat and umbrella both were...

    Todays youth

    Hmm... ...I suspect being in the can for having beat up a 96 year old man will cause him to be labeled a first class punk, and relegated to being someone's ...er... little friend.

    Gen. David "Tex" Hill RIP

    Wish I'd met him.. ...but had a chance to work closely with a Flying Tiger about 20 years ago. A true gentleman, who coincidently, was pictured in a book I already had, which he signed for me. A great group.

    A breakdown of Fedora Loungers by sex, location, age and marital status

    Also, in the... ...name of science. Married 48 1 eight year old daughter Located in the historic Virginia Peninsula (according to Big Man), on the mountain of conceit. I like to think of it as the pinnacle. As John Adams used to say "in Virginia, every goose is a swan."

    I suspect... ...most people just got wet. People these days are much more protected from the weather and seem to be much more adverse to getting wet. I think that "back in the day" people just went about their business and got wet. Something CharelestonBows said got me remembering...

    Ascots

    At the risk... ...of remaining a bit off topic, modern fighter pilots have to look around quite a bit. The advent of helmet mounted missile sights enhance the reasons for looking around. It's quite true though that vintage style has been replaced by functionality. On ascots, seems to me...

    A Menswear PREDICTION

    Predictions... ...are problematic. Unfortunately, I see casual attire becoming increasingly acceptable regardless of occasion. Ties becoming less and less common until they are costumes. A higher grade of causal clothing becoming "dress clothing." Slide on shoes replacing tie on shoes for...

    Scouting anyone?

    I was... ...a Cub Scout and Boy Scout. When my dad got stationed in Germany that ended it for me. I think its a great thing and my daughter is now a Brownie. BTW my dad was the first Eagle Scout in Princess Anne County in the 1930s!

    I studied a broad... ...and got smacked. Seriously, It's normal to be nervous. I'd be stunned if you didn't really enjoy yourself. You're going to Europe girl, not Devil's Island.

    Ready to Date Again

    Advice... ...? Ask someone you really trust who really knows you. They might be able to suggest what might really work for you (as opposed to generic advice). The folks here are really smart and really nice but they don't know you. Oh, and make sure you don't have something in your teeth.
