How much is enough?
What a great thread. Like so many others I am ridiculously over-stocked and have a serious aversion to throwing stuff away. And loving it. Â Like Modsquad and Nick M I like to be able to dress a role and get all the details right. I love the creative process of picking one thing to wear and...- CharlieZircon

Thomas Pink
Thanks for the cool tip - "Regarding the cuff holes...always understood this as a way to get a longer life out of the shirt. As the double cuff wears and frays on one setting, you simply change to the other holes and the frayed cuff is hidden." - like all good tips its obvious when you...- CharlieZircon

What's the oldest thing you own?
Oldest thing I wear is my gold signet ring which I inherited from my father, who had inherited a set of cufflinks from an uncle whoi had worked for Cartier around the turn of the century (20th that is). Â The cuff-links had initials inscribed with initials that were also my fathers, and he had...- CharlieZircon

Style icon
Loved John Steed - anyone familiar with Patrick McGoohan of the same period - Dangerman, The Prisoner (now thats a cool TV show to wander way off topic). iiiiiiiiintense. Agree absolutely with Bryan Ferry - suave, even lounge lizard chic. And perhaps a little more lizard than lounge, how about...- CharlieZircon

Zegna suit
Feeling very pleased with myself Picked up a Zegna and a Bolgheri suit, very little wear, both fitting perfectly, at a local op shop (thrift store) for $A25 each.- CharlieZircon

French cuffs
French Cuffs dress up well, so I think they really finish a formal look, but like most formal elements, can be dressed down to effect. I have seen one fellow who folds the cuff back over the sleeve of his jacket (fairly casual, not a suit), and it works for him - haven't been there myself. I...- CharlieZircon

What's your favourite article of clothing???
At work at least I am a tie guy. In fact at our place I am THE tie guy - about 80 people, i'm the only one that wears a tie regularly. It's kind of a challenge I set myself when I started 5 or so years ago to wear a tie everyday - so I wear all sorts of shirts (always long sleeve) with all sorts...- CharlieZircon

Casual boots
I have a pair of RM Williams boots. They go great with jeans, but I have also worn them with suits from time to time. They come in a variety of styles, some more 'cowboy' than others. In my opinion they are well made, not too expensive and have an understated style - comfortable too.- CharlieZircon

Is this a new look?
If it's a look, it's a look. Most of the best looks break some rules, and that rule may be the "Don't tuck in your shirt rule" or the "Don't wear dress shoes with that rule" or the "Neatly knotted tie rule". IMHO, style is not about making up rules, it is breaking...- CharlieZircon

How do you keep your garnmets?
I would seriously recommend against storing ties rolled up for a long time. I did this once and it proved difficult getting some ties to hang right again. I hang my ties up - I have one special purpose hanger, and have about 40 on that, but have discovered that if you are careful you can hang...- CharlieZircon

Airport metal dectors and shoes
I travel fairly regularly in Australia, and I haven't had the shoe thing happen - either setting the detector off or being asked to take them off. I wear a variety of shoes but obviously just lucky that none have the hidden metal bit. I do see a lot of women wandering around shoeless. I have...- CharlieZircon

Age of people on the forum…
When the software industry has a problem they can't fix, they call it a feature. Â I like to apply this to aging. So as things happen that I can't do anything about, I am becoming more feature-rich.- CharlieZircon

Getting dressed, do you take a long time.
I usually take 10 minutes to actually get dressed. Add 15 minutes shave, shower (I like a long hot shower). Where I find the time can really blow out is if I can't find the tie I need - I usually have one in mind - but with far too many ties, not very well organised, it can get time consuming to...- CharlieZircon

What's the silliest thing you do for style's sake?
I think probably the most silly thing about me and style is that I think about what I will wear before just about anything else. Â So when I get asked to give a speech or go to an important meeting, I don't think "What am I going to say?" or "Who is going to be there?", I...- CharlieZircon
