    I could go into the science behind it, but it would likely mean little to you.

    No, anything you put in it will immediately fall out of it.

    What is "classic menswear"?

    What amused me was that he provided a rationale for jackets that are too short, as if he was quoting an ancient principle of dressing well.

    What is "classic menswear"?

    I should perhaps add that I do not think such a definition exists. The point of the short jackets and other examples is that the idea of what constitutes "classic menswear" changes over time---much like fashion, in fact . . .

    What is "classic menswear"?

    History is fine, of course, but in this case it is just a catalog of examples of what people have been wearing, and as each of those examples are per necessity informed by whatever was the fashion of the day, none of them will on their own qualify as "classic." I suppose I was looking for an...

    What is "classic menswear"?

    What defines ”classic menswear”? When did the era of classic menswear, if there is such a thing, start? I think we can all agree that in past centuries, perhaps well into the 20th century, men could wear the most ridiculous outfits to the most serious of occasions. So “classic,” clearly, is a...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    No, you need jackets in a style designed to be longer. The ones you are wearing are too fashionably short.

    Yes. The pocket square is making a bulge in your breast pocket. But I think on some level you already suspected that.

    Why do classics need to be ugly?

    I think we are none of us the same people we were way back when it all began, three days ago.

    Please Critique My Shirts

    Although I realize this is a minority opinion, I think they look fine. My only concern is that it looks like you would not be able to button the top buttons.

    Made to measure and bespoke are not the same thing.

    Slobbery as snobbery - really recommended reading

    I think he means that whereas the author thinks standards have disappeared altogether, they have in reality only changed, as they have continuously throughout history. To get along in society, you need to understand what is currently expected of you. For example, while tattoos used to be...

    Does anyone else see two horizontal slits in the first picture? If not, I may need to do more than just adjust the brightness of my display.

    Good Natured Advice Thread (improving a business wardrobe)

    Is it not perhaps a bit on the shiny side? Also, it appears to have two breast pockets, which seems somewhat excessive.
