Gentlemen,
I have been lurking and learning for some time and now step forward to introduce myself. I have spent my entire adult life in uniformed service (military and civil service), and as my after-hours pursuits are mainly strenuous and outdoors and my job has no social requirements, I never acquired any wardrobe beyond that needed for a day afield or on the water.
A recent change in assignment allows me to dress as I please, and although the majority of my colleagues prefer to dress as casually as possible, i.e. cargo pants or jeans and tee or polo shirts, I find that I prefer to wear odd jackets and trousers and a tie. Being in Utah, where the majority of men dress like Mormon missionaries (no offense, but the same dark suit with the same white shirt and the same tie every day is maddening), and receiving no inspiration at work, I sought guidance elsewhere. I found Manton's book wherein he acknowledges this site, and a quick Google search led me here.
What I have learned here has enabled me to make what I consider to be several prudent purchases for my budding wardrobe. I have yet to purchase a suit but plan to do so in the near future, and again what I find here is proving invaluable in my decision making processes.
I look forward to joining your discussions and contributing where I may.
