    What are you wearing today??

    CB, I love the new suit. Very distinctive styling, and you wear it well. Lucky Strike, I haven't seen an ensemble of yours yet that I didn't love. Well done!

    I think that just made this thread more confusing. Now nobody can tell what Jovan and Baron Kurtz are referring to.

    The many Virtues of the Bow Tie (Send Pics)

    When people ask me about how difficult it is to tie a bow tie, I tell them three things: 1. If you can tie your shoes, you can tie a bow tie. The knot is the same. 2. If at all possible, get someone who can do it to show you how, in person. There's no substitute for a live tutorial...

    Do you own a Tux?

    It could, but need not necessarily be so. DJ lapels and trimmings should be of plain satin or grosgrain, while the waistcoats were often fancier. Here is a representative example; these sorts of vests are available on Ebay all the time.

    Do you own a Tux?

    Depends on the tradition you're trying to follow. British dinner clothes usually had self waistcoats (cut from matching cloth), while Americans often wore odd vests of fancy patterned silk. This seems to have been true at least as far back as the 1920s or before.

    Mens Warehouse

    If you need a suit for no more than $150-200, and you need it immediately, and there's no Jos. A Banks near you, and you don't much care about the quality of the fabric or the make, and you aren't planning to wear it often, then Men's Wearhouse might work for you. If any of the above don't...

    Great Find at Brooks Brothers Outlet

    Many of the Brooks Brothers outlets currently have retail-grade cav twill and flannel trousers from two or three years ago that I believe are going for $59.25 at the moment.

    Having a Tough Time Finding Super-Casual Neckwear

    Any old bandana will do, so long as it's large enough. This place has a pretty wide selection.

    Indeed. Not the exact model, but the McClain brogue is currently available in chili pebble grain.

    Do you own a Tux?

    Looks great on you, Dhermann1! For what it's worth, After Six's web site says it "has been the leading provider of Men's Formalwear Fashion for over 100 years." So, given the '39-dated union tag, I still think it's from the '40s. In any case, though, you look very good in it and I'm sure...

    What are you wearing today??

    I'm wearing some new-to-me Polo gray flannels for the first time today, and I think they're already my favorite trousers. Suit looks good, Jovan!

    Pocketwatches

    Thanks. No, the repair fellow didn't say anything about the age. I found the '50s reference on my own, while investigating the markings on the movement.

    Pocketwatches

    My Great-Grandfather's Watch My great-grandfather's pocket watch is finally back from the repair shop, after over seven months there. It's a Ball 17-jewel stem-wound railroad pocket watch. He never worked on the railroad, but he owned a cotton gin in Mississippi and did enormous amounts of...

    Old Man Potter: Slipped waistcoat?

    Good eye, Alan! His collar certainly seems softer than one would expect, though.

    Show us your suits

    Looks like a nice suit, Jerekson. The only alteration I'd recommend, other than shortening the trousers, would be to see if a tailor could narrow the sleeves a bit. They seem a bit blousy on you.

    Love the cufflinks, too. Those are beautiful.
