    Some tips to help those who are clueless about men's fashion

    Quite right. Sometimes I get carried away in days of yore. lol

    Other than blue jeans

    Bravo! The corduroy and drill would probably work well.

    Some tips to help those who are clueless about men's fashion

    Ah, now there's the solution - retitle this thread to "Sartorial Rules for the Modern Businessman (who is disinclined to garner attention)", as opposed to those "clueless to fashion".

    Some tips to help those who are clueless about men's fashion

    Oh lord, don't get me started with low-rise trousers! It's a modern miracle to find OTR trousers in my size that actually fit at my waist. Even wool slacks from a suiting store seem to be under my waist no matter how hard I try.

    Locals Annoyed by Hollywood Sign Tourists

    I have to agree with fortworthgal in at least one respect - why fight them when you could join them? If you don't like the noise, that's understandable. Your community should become quite vocal with city hall. Meanwhile, slap a couple signs out front: $175 driveway parking, $100 yard parking...

    Some tips to help those who are clueless about men's fashion

    Perhaps I'm arguing semantics here, but I find the OP to be a set of guidelines according to modern taste; a set of "reasonable" rules, however, it is not. The problem with this list is not that it doesn't adhere to anyone's particular tastes, so much as it suggests a one-size-fits-all rule...

    The Wet Head look: A question

    You'll notice that G&C ingredients include many more synthetics as opposed to Brylcreem. Also notice the difference in product; i.e. G&C is like a gel, Brylcreem like a thin paste. Whereas G&C leaves your hair thick and "greasy" (although it proports a no-grease feel) at the end of the day...

    The Wet Head look: A question

    I do the Dillinger cut; I find it wonderfully easy to maintain, and simple to style. I can also wear it year 'round.

    Some tips to help those who are clueless about men's fashion

    Watches are typically split into three sexes: 1. Men - larger faces, thicker bands 2. Women - smaller faces, thinner bands; sometimes bands range from non-flexible bracelets to slim jewelry-like bracelets. 3. Unisex - see Men above There are many varieties of watches, and no standard size...

    What do our hats really say about us, and more importantly, are they right?

    I suppose my choice in hats is both utilitarian and personal. I choose soft felt hats with longer brims (2.25-3") for protection from elements. Fur felt is warm, durable, and stylish. Stylish? Yep; I've always really liked the way fedoras looked from day one. I don't really broadcast a...

    What color trousers with this sportcoat?

    If argyle garners bad looks, I'd stick with two piece navy pinstripe and gray suits. That's it. No sense in worrying about a jacket/trouser combo because you'll never please them.[huh]

    Shop like it's 1929

    Anyone know if this shop is still around? Anyone have any similar stories about shops like this? We're three years out from the crash - any similar shopping stories, or are we all back to buying the new trendy things?

    Modern Male Identity Crisis

    Let me tell you, these are painful words of wisdom. It's difficult for some folks to endure "alone". And not to sound like an after school special, but as long as you're growing as a person, learning the ropes and figuring out exactly who you are and how you handle yourself, you will be golden...

    What color trousers with this sportcoat?

    Good call Mr. Vim and Yeps! I have a pair of Ralph Lauren wool slacks in light gray with a small windowpane check that would like smashing with that jacket. I think you could safely pair this with nearly any patterned trouser for a nice contrast, although I don't think darker colors would...

    Some tips to help those who are clueless about men's fashion

    Are you stating the "rules" listed in the OP are actually regulations governing conduct? Or perhaps the "rules" listed are in some way customary sartorial practice? In either case, the answer would be negative. If the OP were regulations governing conduct, they would be false - there are a...

    I am seriously considering giving up my cell phone

    (...just don't tell the missus what I'm about to say...) I have NEVER owned a cell phone, and I really don't want one. I've seen the convenience of them in a couple situations, but overall, I just do not care for them. It's not even that I'm a Luddite, I just don't see their utility in my...
