I was just quoting George Costanza in case you missed that reference.

 

But to answer your question, I hate two button collar bands. I blame in equal amounts my love for thick buttons and my lack of fine motor skills for this. The small buttons on my shirts are usually 14 ligne x 3,5mm. those are a pain in the hindquarters to button close next too each other. My collar band would leave enough space for two small buttons, since I too belong to the cervixes longiusculus, but I always opt for a regular big one; the fastened tie does the rest.

 

but yeah, judging collar preferences without knowing the shape of the corresponding face is rather pointless.

That's southern style done well.

Flannel + gingham would be a little uhoh.gif if it weren't for the fact that you kept everything else very conservative - block stripe tie, white linen square.

And the patch pockets bump it up from good to really good.

Sick for a week, worked from home, finally back to the office, and a coffee spill on the way? Kudos to you for managing a small smile, sir.

FWIW, my buttons are 5mm thick and I still manage! I am a trooper.

I keep a spare white shirt in my office specifically for this reason. Though, after it happened to me once, and I have the shirt there in case now, it will probably never happen again.

There's a guy in my office who has literally a closet full of suits in the office. I should also mention that in the 5 years that I have known him I think I have seen him wear a suit about 3 times.

Maybe he's worried that if he wears a suit you'll grab his crotch, too? confused.gif

I don't know, the skinny-legged ball hugging chinos he wears are much more appropriate for such a thing.
