    (Old) What Are You Wearing Now/Today? Part II - pictures only - no discussion

    @Uncontrol ... I couldn't wear it, but I love that fit. A genuine breath of fresh air amidst the play-safe stagnancy that seems to hallmark this place (and of which I'm also guilty!)

    short sleeve buuton downs for summer?

    Dunno if Uniqlo Japan has different stock to its foreign branches, but this Summer they have some very nice S\\S BDs in the same pattern as Ben Sherman, just a "tighter" check (if you know what I mean?). The only prob OTR is that they're too long to wear untucked, so a trip to the...

    getting your collar to spread open on a button-up shirt?

    FTB: I'm sure that's not what the OP meant at all. With some shirts, even when you unbutton the top two buttons, the shirt still appears - or sits? - as if it were still buttoned. I have a lot of slim-fit Ben Sherman shirts and they're all like that. All he wants (I'm sure) is for the collar...

    getting your collar to spread open on a button-up shirt?

    I know what the OP means. It's pretty easy. I do this with all my Ben Shermans. Just hang them very close together in your closet and "spread" the collar of each shirt before pushing it up against the back of the adjacent shirt . You don't get any wierdass "flared" collar effect doing this...

    This hair for me?

    Oh well, for what it's worth (from one noob to another), I think sp4rki looks very sexy and the hair style suits him dead on. No, I'm not that way inclined. I'm thoroughly secure in my heteroflexibility... Nah, I'm just jealous 'cause I'm limited to shaving my scalp every day ...

    Standing Samurai S0500XX

    OK, this is honestly the first time I've seen a pair of jeans standing up on their own. I just didn't know they could ... do that.

    Berlin, you consistently look good, IMO. You have a sophisticated and mature look to you and really look like you feel "at home" in the clothes you wear.

    Whodini: Who makes that tie? I've never seen anything like it

    Recent purchases

    Splurged on another Takeo Kikuchi "manbag" this afternoon: Heavy waxed cotton with magnetic closure and no visible branding. Very similar style to a brown leather one I have from the same make, but this is a fair bit bigger. Front Open

    Nice jacket, what is it? I picked it up at Gap in Nagoya Saturday PM ... I "suddenly" needed a jacket as I was downtown in a shirt, the weather turned but I couldn't be arsed going home to get one. First Gap item I've ever bought as I don't usually like anything they have, but I REALLY liked...

    Sunday afternoon, a stroll along the river to see the last of the Sakura for this year. Looking at the pic now, I think maybe I should have tucked the shirt, but I'd just had a huge lunch and things were already "straining" a bit ...

    ... if your intent is to post to get a comment then your motive needs to be re-evaluated. ... No, not at all. I think I phrased that poorly, sorry. Gomen ne... What I meant was that my previous "look" (or outfit) was incredibly subpar for this forum. FWIW, you inspire me each time you post ...

    Noob observer here .. about a year since I posted a WAYWT pic ... the last one was ignored .. that hurt.. and gave me food for thought ... I know I'm breaking a cardinal rule by mixing brown suede boots and a brown "manbag" with an otherwise black outfit, but I quite like it nonetheless ...

    Biker jackets if you don't ride ... poseur?

    Thanks very much for the replies, guys. Guess I've started "overthinking" some things since finding this place.

    Biker jackets if you don't ride ... poseur?

    Sorry lads, but I gotta ask this before I commit. BR in Japan currently have (IMHO) a gorgeous antiqued (note spelling) brown bike jacket with a single beige'ish coloured stripe on one arm. No other markings. Tried it on tonight and it fits like a glove. Personally, I think it suits me and...

    Trad Vs. Prep - Can There Only Be One?

    I lived in Cologne (the home of Kölsch beer) for 8 years and it's one of the worst & cheapest brews in Köln. Yet it's name-dropped in this article as if it were something exotic?

    Polyester Blend tie

    Not really into necroposting, but I bought a "100% finest polyester" tie today by accident. I had about 10 ties in my hand, all of which I thought were silk (turns out 9 were, 1 evidently wasn't). I laid each one against a shirt and suit I bought in the same store a couple of weeks ago to check...

    Looking for shoe trees!

    Those look gorgeous, GDL .. but I wonder, wouldn't the varnished finish inhibit the ... (how to say this politely?) ... "sweat absorption" properties of natural wood?

    Top things you've learned from SF !

    I've been more or less lurking for a few months and feel I've learned a lot (especially regarding black suits and pocket squares), but one thing has been mentioned in this thread three times now: "Brown is for farmer" Please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is that referring to?
