That is a man wearing a bold suit with confidence.
I never had a shoe rack and no self-respecting man who likes clothes has that much free space between his suits in his closet, but the scene still captures a look and feel we're all experienced with. I've worked from home since 2012 and, combined with biz casual and all casual, I (sadly) hardly ever wear a suit now, but prior to 2012, like many of us, my day started pretty much like this (sans the military suit of course).
Very funny. Like you, I learned that a lot of the little nuances, quirks or "special finds" in clothing that mean so much to us here, have absolutely no currency with most people. That's one of the beautiful things about FL and this thread - those passionate about these things can find each other.

This thread is the next best thing to time travel.
Under October 1943, I love the “Campaign Colors”. Did that take off, even briefly? It kind of reminds me of ties sporting regimental colors. I had one once upon a time (can’t even remember which regiment it was.) Anyway, the entire time I owned the tie, it never elicited one comment; not one. No one had any idea. One day in frustration I mentioned to a coworker that it was a regimental tie; he quickly jumped to the conclusion that I was eccentric. I learned something that day... that some things are better not to mention!
