I am moving the thread I high-jacked
OK Guys, here is my premise. Since about the 1960s our sartorial standards have declined significantly. I believe that this is one of many symptoms of our societal decline. Our morals have decayed, our religious beliefs have been called into ridicule, our work ethic has declined. Our standards...- flylot74

dressing up, when did it all go wrong?
Lowering ones standards with clothes is a symptom of a charcater flaw in society. Where does one draw the line? Well, it's OK to dress like a bum.... .....then it's OK to father a child and obsolve themselves of responsibility.... ....well, it's ok to euphanize grandma..... she old and a...- flylot74

dressing up, when did it all go wrong?
You missed the point. I was mocked because I stated I set high standards. It was not directed about sartorial style. I was talking about standards about life: commitment to excellence whether it be sartorial, or educational, philosophical, integrity and ethics. It's about demanding the...- flylot74

dressing up, when did it all go wrong?
I am trembling. Mockery will get you know where. If you choose you can find and embrace mediocrity. Go on, slouch your way to oblivion for all I care. I for one wish to set high standards, just like our successful forefathers. It was demanding high standards and maintaining those standards that...- flylot74

dressing up, when did it all go wrong?
Imposing an antiquated standard It is only antiquated when people accept dress codes as such. I don't see dressing well as an antiquated standard. I see it as good grooming and taste. "often times jeans and a T-shirt is far more appropriate to the activity." Yes, when one is playing softball...- flylot74

Suspenders or belts?
If I am jacketless, I wear a belt. otherwise, braces. Braces are far more comforatble. My trousers hang better. There is no comparison. The most gawd awful sight is some guy wearing a belt AND the clip on variety braces exposed (no jacket). I've been tempted (but don't have the stones)...- flylot74

Don't know of any dealers but I do know of one "sort of" forum: http://forums.watchnet.com/index.php...rm_id=85&rid=0 I didn't realize it until recently, my watch is now considered "vintage" (I guess I'm considered that as well) having bought my Rolex after returning from Southeast Asia, back in...- flylot74

Seiko Opinions Daily Beater Watch
Thank you very much for the reply. I am on the more youthful end of the spectrum. I am not a pilot; I am just attracted to the watch for pure aesthetic reasons. On the other hand I don't want to piss away $250. I guess I am trying to decide if I should hold off a couple of months and purchase...- flylot74

Seiko Opinions Daily Beater Watch
I am a big believer in if you like it, buy it. But I am curious of why this "pilot" watch interests people so. As a professional pilot, it's jut something that doesn't interest me in the slightest, not having any need for all those "features". We seasoned aviators (read...- flylot74

elevator etiquette
Stairs are a good idea, unless you are on the 50th floor, then I could see how that might be a problem (although its great exercise). I hate people in the office building that I work at that work on the 2nd floor, yet take the elevator. Its faster to take the stairs, I’m on the 5th floor and I...- flylot74

Pros and Cons of bowties
I find bow ties to be festive. I find at my age I carry them well with sport jackets and a fedora. Suits will ordinarily get a long tie, and I feel a bit more conservative in my persona. Funny, I'm starting to dress how I feel, and interesting phenomena.- flylot74

when did the hat die?
As for people staring at me when I wear my fedora, well, if they don't like it then they can all screw themselves and and their dry-wall contractor sense of Costco sartorial style. Aw, c'mon!

I wish someone here would post a picture of themselves wearing an old fashioned blocked hat. If you want more pictures, go to Fedora Lounge a great forum for those that enjoy hats.

Being ostracized at work
If everyone in your group treats you like a *****, it's probably because you are one. Read what you said again, then consider changing something in your life. Are you sure you're not a violist?- flylot74
