    New job, time to get dandy

    Yup, you guys are spot on. I agree. I'll definitely invest in some appropriate button down shirts, and tailor the coat enough for the correct length of shirt cuff to show. And the shirts will be a lighter color, likely either plain white, light blue, or a plaid. And I'll take the jeans to a...

    Casual footwear

    I purchased a pair of THESE from Irish Setter recently. Quality material, light weight. I'll know in 3 months how they hold up.

    Guys, I've been keeping an eye on this thread, and am appreciative to your thoughts. Nothing has been a surprise, which helps my confidence that I'm heading in the right direction. Being that I work in manufacturing world that sells and works with other manufactuerers, but also tractor...

    Is there a flattering way to layer OVER a company/golf polo? Thoughts?

    New job, time to get dandy

    OK Team, another "business casual" related question. I'm moving into a new role within my company, which will require a different wardrobe approach. I've lived in a world where jeans and t shirt are perfectly acceptable in the office, and jeans and a company polo are acceptable at meetings. In...

    Thoughts on outfit?

    A couple of clarifications if you don't mind: Explain "lay, not pull" regarding fit. Also, I was wearing shorts because it was our escape from the Midwest during winter. Would a light weight chino be a better choice? Let's talk versatile shoes (chinos and dark denim). Are boat shoes the standard?

    Thoughts on outfit?

    Good feedback, thank you. Interestingly enough, i found a nice hat at Chappel while on vacation (the photo was from our family vacation at Disney last week). If you ignore our "rockstar" pose, you'll see the hat below. You mention color of shirts and skin tones. I like the way I look in black...

    A fish out of water? Classic menswear in "industrial" market

    I work as a Territory Sales Manager overseeing 32 of this nation's great states, working directly with salesmen, sales manager and owners of agricultural tractor dealership groups. If you are not familiar with this industry, don't judge. While the roots are "country", many are now mega-groups...

    *Edited* Helping a rural Midwestern find his classic style

    I added 2 nice pieces to my closet today. It has been decided that my signature style is indeed dark jeans with either a button sport shirt or polo, under a blazer or sportcoat. Don't mock the brands, they were REALLY on sale, and the people that know me won't know the difference between Chaps...

    Intro to Tweed Jackets, and such

    Hello from the transitioning rural-Midwesterner. You may remember me from a recent thread as I transitioned from to Anyhow, I'm gravitating towards a sportcoat or blazer that is less dressy, yet timeless and classic nonetheless. It is, however, something I know nothing about. Please...

    *Edited* Helping a rural Midwestern find his classic style

    Thanks for the offer, I will shoot you a PM. I actually picked up that cheapo, but not bad looking Field Watch yesterday. It is my "beater". I am still trying to balance a sophisticated look with durability, and trying to be "of the people". If I come across as overly slick, I can lose...

    I continue to fight the urge to go back to my "old" style of comfort. Here is today's take:

    Poor man's watch thread

    So I opted for a beat-around Field Watch for my daily endeavors... I enjoy the style, and for $40 it's hard to have too big of expectations...

    Thought I'd post a close up of my beloved Ariat Workhog boots. I cleaned them with saddle soap and a nice leather balsam over the weekend.
