The Way They Wore: Images from the Past
I don’t know the answer to this but I have a page from what was allegedly a 1935 Esquire featuring a Laurence Fellows illustration with text that discusses midnight blue evening wear, complete with the notion that under artificial light it’s even better than black. So this must have been a...- Sam H

Shoes, Shorts, and Summer sans Sneakers and Sandals
Speaking of Stan Smith, this thread reminded me that I watched a recent episode of American Dad (by the Family Guy creator) called “Dressed Down” > Stan reveals that he has never felt comfortable in casual clothes and that he only feels confident in a suit. So Roger pulls out an old role as a...- Sam H

The Mr. Ned Appreciation Thread
I've been putting off posting this newest commission out of laziness and because I'm kind of sick of setting up the tripod for those 4 angle robopose shots. I think at this point I've made my point about fit and there isn't much of a need to keep doing those boring static poses. These are much...- Sam H

Bespoke western shirt?
I was going to say this as well. It's specifically in my experience the aluminum anti-perspirants, I switched to stick deodorants (without antiperspirant) and never had permanent pit stains again. However, I still get collar and cuff dirt that seems to be immune to really anything although it...- Sam H

Summer loafers: with or without socks?
I don’t understand the abject hatred and disgust people have for no socks with loafers and the idea that leather loafers without socks with casual outfits turn women off is also silly. The former is subjective but it seems melodramatic to be grossed out by male shin. “Oh heavens I fainted...- Sam H

The manliest Top of them all
Every example photo is just a muscular and attractive guy who is showing a lot of arm; the tank top seems incidental. That’s what tank tops are good for, it’s fun to get in shape and wear one in an extremely casual environment, but I’d never worry too much about quality. I had some Guess ones...- Sam H

The essential elements of style
Yeah, true. On the NYC culture note, I live in the east village and there is this good book I read called “St Marks Is Dead” which is titled after a phrase you commonly hear when someone aged out of the “scene”. (St Marks is a famous street known for counterculture). The author writes a history...- Sam H

The essential elements of style
NYC has laws in place that guarantee shelter, rent hotel rooms for people when it’s dangerously cold (and go around trying to get people to them), and even during COVID were housing homeless in hotels throughout the city. I understand that a lot of homeless would rather not go to shelters and...- Sam H

The essential elements of style
This whole thing sounds like “Paris Syndrome” except for NYC. I will say that as an NYC resident I have felt similarly about many other American cities with just as little basis besides a bout of tourism. I think that as for going to SF, I highly recommend not doing that based on your opinion...- Sam H

Summer loafers: with or without socks?
My idea of taupe might just be tan/khaki but somehow slightly less so just “khaki”. “Taupe is a vague color term which may refer to almost any grayish-brown, brownish-gray, or warm gray color. It often overlaps with tan and even people who use color professionally (such as designers and...- Sam H

Summer loafers: with or without socks?
I just bought some taupe linen drawstring trousers specifically because it’s a “boring” color; I realized a bit back that off white and tan and cream trousers all form a good base for the huge number of brightly colored summer shirts I have. That’s what it’s good for, like above a slubby taupe...- Sam H

Gurkha Trousers
I wore green Rubinacci manny pants and a white shirt for Halloween at work once as “Peter griffin but #menswear” and it was well received if only because my coworkers at the time had a high tolerance for my nonsense. More than one accused me of just forgetting it was Halloween and retrofitting...- Sam H
