Hello all,
My name is Alan and I am a high school teacher. I have been lurking for a couple of weeks and decided it was time to register. I have had a lifelong interest in bygone eras, the aesthetic pleasures of anachronistic things, and I have always prided myself on dressing nicely through my adult life. I have lately become interested in refining my look to a somewhat higher state of elegance, and the trick seems to be managing to do so without seeming like you are in a costume. I'll be continuing to read, to learn, and to contribute when I am able.
I have used fountain pens reguarly for years, and I have been eschewing my modern watches in favor of a wind-up for the past few months. My modern knives have mostly been languishing in a drawer while a traditional slipjoint rides in my pocket most days. I have recently taken to wearing bowties at work, which probably marks my final slip over to the dark side!
