The Future of Dressing Well
This thread is more interesting for the discussion on our supposed Asiatic counterparts; I say supposed because it seems they are kicking our ass in many respects nowadays. (By "our" I mean USA) It did go in that direction, which was not my original intention, but I do not mind because it is an...- topbroker

HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II
This is my most flamboyant suit. My boss, who is rarely here, has not seen it. I am sure he would make a big deal about it. Either way, it won't stop me from wearing it...I am known as the freak at my workplace. They expect these kinds of suits. This is an interesting point. Since my twenties...- topbroker

Not to take anything away from your point. I just wanted to mention that China has been in such manner since thousands of years ago. They are the nation that has the proverb "Teacher for one Day, Father for Life." Even the communist cultural revolution did not diminish the importance of...- topbroker

The Future of Dressing Well
No, I'm not teaching a particularly elite set of students here in Korea. Changwon is a medium-sized city a long distance from Seoul. My students at the private academy are middle class, and all of them are enrolled in, or graduated from, ordinary Korean regional universities, not the top...- topbroker

The Future of Dressing Well
Master Squirrel, I enjoyed your thoughtful comments. Thanks for engaging with what I wrote. On the issue of universities and nationalities: Probably 90% of my Korean students have studied abroad in an English-speaking country, either as a high school or university exchange student. America...- topbroker

The Future of Dressing Well
It's anecdotal, but for what it's worth, I've talked to executives at IBM, Google, and Microsoft about this, and they all say they'd rather hire American engineers from top tier schools than East Asian engineers from their top tier schools. It's commonly believed that we have better engineering...- topbroker

You believe this? I can't believe that he believes it, either. He needs to spend some time in Asia. They are going to eat us for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The students here are incredibly motivated; the workers are incredibly diligent. Engineers? Everyone here is an engineer! As an American...- topbroker

How exactly would we be able to outsource lawyers or medical professionals? You haven't heard of Indian lawyers and doctors handling document review for American law firms and hospitals? There must have been hundreds of news stories about this.- topbroker

The Future of Dressing Well
I think you might be overstating it. Professional service sectors and knowledge-based services are the sections of the economy that have been growing the most for the last 20-30 years. We're experiencing a financial downturn now, but there's no reason to say that professional services are in...- topbroker

The Future of Dressing Well
I am concerned about many aspects of the future -- who isn't? -- and one of them, of minor import perhaps but still interesting, is the future of men dressing well. I am not concerned for the usual reasons put forward -- that younger men are not interested in sartorial matters (actually, some of...- topbroker

HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II
Mike and oldog, starting the week with a bang! Although I always request a medium break on my trousers, I respect oldog's fuller breaks as part of his overall look. He pulls them off well. Many younger men abuse the full break (well, they really don't even know what a "break" is, their pants...- topbroker
