    Friday Challenge, the first for 2022 - Suited and Booted

    The expression "suited and booted", (to me at least) always meant "geared up and ready for action", and, as, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, it is prime boot season, I thought it would be interesting to see what you gentlemen came concoct, combining suits and boots. All modes are welcome...

    Stills from Upr_crust's photo shoot for "We Are Dandy"

    Last July, my husband and I had the privilege to be interviewed and photographed for Nathaniel Adams' and Rose Callahan's new book, "We Are Dandy". We did not make the book (neither Nathaniel or Rose's decision), but Rose was gracious enough to send me copies of the photos taken during the...

    Crusty's "What I wore on this Date in History" - a walk down memory lane . . .

    Currently, I am housebound with a fractured pelvis. Over on Ask Andy, the natives were sadly bereft of my daily postings. One of the other posters suggested that I post "the best of Crusty". I countered by posting photos of my fits from the same day in previous years. Results are as below...

    Friday Challenge 2016/09/30 - "Blue and Green Now Must Be Seen"

    Gentlemen, by consensus in last week's Friday Challenge thread, the debunking of the ancient myth of "blue and green must never been seen" is to take place. Fits should be from this week, and should be suit and tie/jacket and tie, and, as the theme of the challenge states, must contain blue and...

    Friday Challenge 2016/01/22 - Wrap it up, guys - Show Us your Scarves

    At the suggestion of Mr. Knightley, and without a greater inspiration, I've decided to let you gents show off how you keep your necks warm in winter. Now, realizing that it is summer in the Southern Henisphere, for those of you below the Equator, you can either show off your hipster...

    If I'm to upgrade my formal shoes, which shoes would you recommend?

    Here's a chance to express your opinions. I recently bought a new tuxedo - a midnight blue Phineas Cole one-button, peak lapel, grosgrain trimmed, side-vented number, slim cut like all Phineas Cole suits and tuxedos. My current pair of patent leather shoes look a little boxy in comparision to...

    Friday Challenge 2015/11/06 - "Get yer two **** out" - Double breasted suit or jacket

    In light of the relative coolness of most of the Northern Hemisphere, and the fact that the Southern Hemisphere is still in springtime, I thought that it was high time that we showed off our double-breasted suits or jackets. Suit or jacket is acceptable, fit must be worn this week, and I will...

    Friday Challenge - 2015/06/12 - No blues, no grays . . .

    In keeping with the seasons both in the hot Northern Hemisphere, and the cool winter Down Under, the theme of this Friday Challenge is "no blues, no grays" - no blue suits, no grey suits, no blue or grey shirts, no ties in which blue or gray is the dominant color (allowance for ties where there...

    Friday Challenge for 2015/04/03 - Get some color in your life!

    In honor of that most brightly colored of holidays - Easter (think Easter eggs, Jordan almonds, and those brightly colored and thoroughly inedible Peeps marshmallow animals) the Friday Challenge is to integrate colorful accessorizing into your fit for this week. Entries from this week only, and...

    The Friday Challenge 2014/12/12 - Retro Detailing

    The aim of this week's challenge is to integrate something from another era into your fit - the era is your choice, whether it be the 1930's, the 50's, the 70's - whatever. Whatever detailing harks back to another era, whether it be a waistcoat, a collar pin, a tab-collared shirt, braces, or...

    Friday Challenge - 2014/06/06 - The Blue & Green Challenge

    Not to steal TTO's thunder in starting this thread, but it was decided that, in honor of the 70th anniversary of D-Day, that the Friday Challenge will be the Blue and Green challenge. The basic premise is to put together a fit that includes blue and green. Extra sprezz for military-inspired...

    My cufflink collection, in photos . . .

    In my posting on WAYWRN, there have been those who have admired my cufflinks. Because of an enquiry at That Other Website, I had occasion to photograph my current collection (a day off, hot weather, a few idle moments in an air-conditioned atmosphere - you get the picture). Without further...
