    Jos Bank Suit, suitable for interview or not?

    I've also been looking at Joseph A. Bank myself, for a relatively cheap option. I'm still considering my first suit, but how awful is the fusing in the suits? I read that a lot of Style Forum or Ask Andy About Clothes users complain about this feature, or lack of. I'm not too well versed in the...

    Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows

    I wasn't too impressed with the first movie, and my siblings were even less impressed, saying that it bored them and that the actors were incomprehensible when they spoke. We never actually even finished watching it after the half-way point. Should I give the first one another chance? The...

    Anti Baseball Cap League?

    Same here, I'm convinced that they don't go with my style, and I don't think they look particularly good on me either. I feel like there's not really anything wrong with wearing one though. I know lots of people that wear them pretty often. It's just a type of headwear, and one that has happened...

    HOLY GRAIL? /What fedoras are you pining for?

    I'm already planning on getting the dark brown Sean Connery trilby, but at around 0:07 seconds, George Lazenby's hat can be seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_IZ8iHiwWk You would be able to see it more clearly in the film OHMSS, but it seems to be a relatively narrow brimmed (but slightly...

    Pomade

    Yes indeed! I've read up at Badger and Blade that it originated in 1810, and this, or similar products must have been used consistently since then. Even Napoleon might have likely used it like you've implied. Anyway, I'm not exactly expecting something with the hold of say, Brylcreem either (and...

    Pomade

    OK, at least I've collected something with a potential James Bond connection I suppose; the original Ian Fleming novels. I will give it a try, and see what I think. I think I'll even try to use it just on it's own one day and see how exactly it holds my hair, if at all. On another note, since...

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Does this work, or do I just look nerdy? I have to wear glasses now, but I don't want it to really discourage me from wearing a hat with it. This hat, a vintage Stetson, is my favorite one, so I'm trying this on for the photo: I wouldn't generally be wearing a polo shirt with it either, this...

    What are you wearing today??

    Thank you Rue! I used Royal Crown Pomade today. It actually looks a little shinier in person than in the picture, but I didn't use a particularly large amount. Anyway, I've got to get used to the glasses. My whole style will now revolve around them. Thank God I had opted to get "transitional"...

    Is this blazer ok for a wedding guest?

    If you feel like this is the most appropriate thing that you have to wear, then I think it's fine. If you have too many doubts, then it's probably the time to consider an alternative, maybe a suit. I don't even own a full suit yet, but I'd work with what I have at least. I think wearing a blazer...

    What are you wearing today??

    I'm sort of going for the "James Dean wearing glasses" vibe today, because well, apparently I have to... The glasses probably aren't too retro looking, but I think they suit my face more than very thick frames would. As for the rest, it's just a dress shirt and jeans, with oxford shoes and a...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I had recently watched The Brady Bunch episode, "The Power of the Press." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_d4FHGgR-A Peter also wears a fedora in that episode, while trying to write a news letter for his school. I should probably mention also, R.I.P. Sherwood Schwartz. He passed away...

    Do you ever wear a hat around the house?

    I actually just wear a hat indoors to break it into my size, unless the sun is particularly shining with a glare where I could use the hat to block it. I've done the latter several times.

    Hair cuts

    Same here. For me to try to do a James Dean hairstyle, it's almost just very artificial looking; forced and contrived to achieve the wavy look while in reality that's just how his hair was.

    Thanks, I'll check out the reviews on it at some point. I've never heard about that one before.

    Hair cuts

    If you're talking about the third picture, I actually style my hair like that pretty often. To begin with, your hair should at least be pretty straight, but what I'd use is just a little bit of Royal Crown Pomade, mostly concentrated around the top and front. Just a little, enough that it is...

    Hair cuts

    Is there any idea what James Dean may have been using at the time even? Often, it's a mystery as to what specific hair products famous celebrities used, but James Dean is quite the hair icon even to the present. There might have been some sort of passing reference made to some stuff he used to...

    Hair cuts

    You may want to try Dax Wave and Groom (red can product), as it might be better for you than the Murray's, and I think it's a little more helpful for achieving a dry look, as long as you don't put on too much. Your hair might flop around a bit, but then again, James Dean's hair didn't really...

    How popular is the fedora in 2011? Are hats seeing a resurgance finally?

    The other day at the beach, I had seen what may have been as many as over a dozen brimmed hats, several of which looked like fedoras, while others looked like cowboy or Australian hats. All of these were straw of course. There were wide and stingy brims. I happened to be wearing my Sunbody palm...

    Questions and Answers -- General Attire

    I'm actually buying it size small so that it is like a slim fit, but I'm pretty sure it won't be too slim if you know what I mean. I have heard that they're in fashion currently too, but my liking of them is more of an independent development. I don't really follow modern fashion, but it's nice...
