HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III - Page 2936

guys, guys...... it's a 'time piece'


















I feel the connotation 'diver' has moved from the Submariner over to the Sea-Dweller and DSSD's (Rolex geekspeak)
Granted the sub is still categorized as diver, I feel it's ok to be used in substitute of a dress watch - though not entirely the same.

I'll have to disagree with the tennis shoes/dress shoes thingy. Yes, there are those HUGE over-sized, fashion forward, blingtastic neon-colored watches and I can see the correlation you reference there... however in the context of the submariner vs a thin dress watch with a leather strap..... we're talking C&J's vs G&G's (maybe even Carminas )

No worries.

 

I understand. But you do understand that you are implying that your argument was ad hominem, or against me, and not against my position?

 

I find no offense in this, just curious about why you would make that clarification, since we are discussing an idea and not my suitability as a presenter of ideas, or did I get this wrong?

 

Again, just curious, not offended.

My statement was that you are being very picky; nothing more, nothing less.

That makes a lot of sense on both fronts. May I ask what type of trousers you'd suggest? I guess light gray flannels, but what else might I do?

Ain't nothing wrong with light grey flannels. Ask Luciano Barbera.

Other than grey, you could also do worsted trousers in tans and browns. The jacket color goes with a lot of things. The main point is that you need trousers to go with it that are more refined than a pair of khakis.

Cool, thanks. Light gray flannels were already my next trouser purchase -- but I like the idea of a mid-brown worsted. I guess it works for me with the khakis because the colors go together, but the textures (I have to admit) don't cohere 100%.

Light grey trousers should be a staple in everyone's wardrobe. For autumn and winter, nothing is more versatile.

We agree. I understand. Your statements were clear. They had nothing to do with my idea. They were all about me.

 

That by definition is an ad hominem attack or logical fallacy known as argumentum ad hominem.

 

Again, I remain un-offended.

 

Just realize that you did nothing to undermine my arguments or ideas, you merely attempted consciously or unconsciously to undermine me,the presenter of the idea. When you do that, the idea or opinion requires no defense and the truth of the idea stands unassailed. When you take that path, you merely confirm the truth of the idea, since your chosen course of action is against the presentation of the idea, as if to say, "I cannot undermine or attack the idea". In a competitive or adjudicated forum, your argument would lose by virtue of it having no real force.

 

Yes, I am picky. You will get no counter argument from me on that.

 

I am very picky about attire when it appears to be disharmonious. 

 

I made the claim that the outfit above is disharmonious. One that still stands unassailed by you or your arguments, since your arguments are only about me and imply that a picky person is worthy to make a claim of disharmony against the above outfit. You have made no counter claim that the outfit is in fact harmonious, nor have you stated the facts as to why it is harmonious.

 

To wit; "the tone of the steel bracelet mitigates the sportiness of the watch as it is complimentary and harmonious with the tone of the hard surfaces presented by the worsted wool and silk tie."

 

Cheers!

bastard.

 

Camel colored worsted or cavalry twills would be outstanding. Navy worsted or flannel. Bottle green or similar. Burgundy or brown.  All in winter.

 

For summer wear; cream summer weight flannels or navy linen trousers.

 

Various Glen and windowpane checks. Various houndstooth patterns.

 

Striped pants of every sort, lighter and darker.

 

What pants wouldn't go with it?

 

Don't over think this.

 

As for buttons;

 

For evening wear or business: silver would look best

 

For daywear or sportswear: MOP might look better

 

Two other low key options for evening/business wear would be gunmetal or darkish horn buttons.

 

  can I have it ? i could aggravate the absolute chit out of some people @ work with that.

This needs to be on multiple pages

SoGent,

For some reason I had trouble quoting your posting, but I'll respond to your comments in any case.

In re: hat - the weather is supposed to get a bit warmer here, and I've opted for a fedora for tomorrow, which, as you correctly note, looks better on me than the shearling/suede thing I've been wearing the last three days.

As for my work place dress code, I work in IT in a "business casual" environment, but in a large bank in the Wall St. area, so I've had the freedom pretty much to dress as I choose, so long as I don't scare the horses and don't violate laws of public decency (or wear T-shirts, jeans or sneakers - those ARE explicitly forbidden by the dress code). I've been where I am for a very long time, so my attire raises very few eyebrows.
