    U.S. Army considers new uniforms

    I understand the US military even issues medals for passing basic training and passing shooting tests? Kind of detracts from the idea of having earned something to wear upon one's chest. And for snazzy uniforms, check out the King's Royal Hussars. Purple trousers with the green No 2 uniforms!

    Black or Blue?

    Definately the blue suit. A good navy suit will get you by almost anywhere, and in most situations. On a slightly unrelated note, I thought the blue suit in the latest Bond film was wonderful!

    Japanese air force chief fired over WWII essay

    Thankfuly there is still a national consciousness in Germany that won't allow revisionism. I think a far more significant worry is of the war being forgotten, in the same way that WW1 is almost unknown to many people.

    Matt Deckard Apparel

    In English please? And for the others, what is the advantage of a belted back compared to a normal one?

    Smoking Jackets

    I understand a smoking jacket is to be worn whilst relaxing with other men after dinner, drinking the port, smoking cigars and all that. Originally there were created for use only whilst smoking, and a smoking cap would be worn at the same time so smoke would not reach normal clothes, and offend...

    Trouser colours?

    Just wondering here, how outlandish do people go when it comes to trouser colours? I'll admit to owning a pair or purple cords. Anyone else got anything?

    The Return of The Three Piece Suit

    Adding to that, his grammar and spellcheck appear to have disappeared as well.

    Give your patriotism a boost here: Share what makes you feel patriotic

    No flags please, we're British. Whilst I love my country, and felt midly patriotic when I was attested into the TA, I fail to understand the rather extreme patriotism many Americans possess. I always felt that the flags everywhere and videos were embarrasingly sentimental. I guess that's just my...

    Evolution of Colonial English Accents - Australia and New Zealand

    I always thought the Australian accent emerged from cockney accents, as it was generally the poorer members of society and convicts who were sent down under?

    Savile Row gives way to dress-down Friday..

    Although barristers are apparently retaing the use of wigs, whereas judges won't, which I found to be rather suprising.

    Savile Row gives way to dress-down Friday..

    ...was the title of an article in Wednesday's copy of The Times. I was unable to find thed online version, so have provided a few quotes of an article I am sure many of the gentlemen here will agree with. "Do appearences count any more in public life? The formality and elegance so often...

    Kicking your coffee with hooch

    I'm often partial to the odd G&T. And by the T bit, I mean tea

    College wardrobe

    Very nice outfits there chaps! I'm afraid my college wardrobe etends to black jeans, proper shoes or ankle boots, shirts and either a cardigan or v neck sweater. I would much rather wear proper trousers, but feel the comments would get too annoying! But Mr Rover, are you wearing a hat when...

    Suit design failure

    It's only a very minor adjustment, go back to the tailor and he should be able to do it there and then

    Today in History

    In his defence, Chamberlain, like most other people at the time, still had memories of the horrors of the First World War fresh in his mind, and so the majority of people were very much against another war, and hoped to use diplomacy to alleviate crises. Hindsight is always 20/20, but it must...

    Bye guys

    I'm off for pasture news, to get my BA in History and German, in the sunny climes of South Yorkshire. I'll finally be glad to leave expensive London, and although I miss my old job, I reckon this degree will help me better in the future than becoming an instant executive and unemployable at 30...

    Suits are out for professionals?

    So within standard advertising, that is considered correct clothing? What happened to the Mad Men look?

    Suits are out for professionals?

    Art director is a job within advertising, the guy (or girl) who comes up with the art, IIRC. And as for patent leather, there is a time and place. Normally when tying up the black bow tie and putting on a dinner jacket
