What are you wearing today??

[Marty M.]

it wasn't directed toward me, but NOS = New Old Stock, aka Deadstock.

Thanks, but I'm not the smartest retailer around, so what does "Deadstock" mean? Is that inventory that doesn't move? [huh] .

It's merchandise that's never been used. Often with original tags or packaging. Premium condition basically!

Oh, that stuff. I'm pretty sure that I have some of that around here. I usually chalk up to a bad merchandicer (me). Thanks.

Not today, but a couple of outfits from last week. Criticism appreciated

The same suit as here but with a blue and white striped shirt with contrast collar, tan vest, and the bowtie from here My first time wearing a bowtie out on the town!

Here's another one, a good cut, but not greatly made modern brooks brothers. What's really cool is that it's kind of a cool bluish-gray tweed. You can't see very well in the picture, but it's a really cool color. Worn with the shirt and cufflinks from that other outfit post, but with a blue/silver/black diamond patterned tie. Sorry for the awkward pose!

imoldfashioned- thank you!

GwenLake- asymmetrical stuff is indeed, cool! I always call that shirt my "mad scientist" shirt because it reminds me of the type the scientist or the doctors would have back then - thinking "Frankenstein" here. Though it is asymmetrical so it has it's own twist, I suppose.

Jovan- thank you for that compliment! Gee, I wish my hair looked as great as Ms. Williams'. As for the reason for the hiding face - well, I'm a rather shy one. Maybe one day I'll have enough courage to show my face.

Daisy Buchanan- Thank you so much, and no need for apologies for the tangent or such! I tend to go off on things too sometimes. I have a lot of hair too, so I think you ought to be able to do the wave.

Ohh, so what did you decide? Or rather your hairstylist? Or both? I think with your green eyes, the red should look wonderful!! I always liked how red hair and green eyes look together. Nonetheless, I hope you have a fun and safe trip to Europe!

Riley Dee: Thank you! I like your St. Patrick's day wardrobe choice. Did that make any sense? Basically, I like what you wore.

My turn:

Lucky Strike: I like your style - and how you crop your photos.

DollyDayDream: I like the shoes you are wearing on the first photo.

Dinerman- haircut compliments to you.

I'm going to be a college career fair at the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh this afternoon, recruiting interns and entry-level hires. It's hitting the 40s in Wisconsin today -- which really does feel warm after a long winter -- so I'm foregoing the topcoat, but not the hat. That's when people really start to notice your hats, when you wear them with suits but without overcoats, as businessmen in the Forties and Fifties did.

You'll also note that I'm a boutonniere guy from spring through fall. This stems (pardon the pun) from my long-ago viewing of a 1989 movie called Worth Winning, in which Mark Harmon plays a TV weatherman who is irrresistible to the ladies, and no wonder -- he's a natty suit, tie, and braces guy, and on top of that, he sports a flower in his lapel every day. This made a deep impression on the young businessman that I was, and I've enjoyed adding a flower to my outfits ever since.

Has anyone read this book on the subject? I'm ordering it from Amazon.

I can't even remember when I last saw a man wear a flower.
:eusa_clap for Mr Murtha!

 

[Jovan]

I wore one a few years back. You can barely see it.

I think I'll do it again sometime...
