Well I agree that they are awesome but it it takes over your outfit and doesn´t do the shoes justice.


fair enough, but i still like it. :)

Back in the office after a week of working from home, sick.

looking good (fit, not stain), glad you are feeling better.

Sick for a week, worked from home, finally back to the office, and a coffee spill on the way? Kudos to you for managing a small smile, sir.


this. i would have serious rage face after that.

I was just quoting George Costanza in case you missed that reference.

But to answer your question, I hate two button collar bands. I blame in equal amounts my love for thick buttons and my lack of fine motor skills for this. The small buttons on my shirts are usually 14 ligne x 3,5mm. those are a pain in the hindquarters to button close next too each other. My collar band would leave enough space for two small buttons, since I too belong to the cervixes longiusculus, but I always opt for a regular big one; the fastened tie does the rest.

but yeah, judging collar preferences without knowing the shape of the corresponding face is rather pointless.

FWIW, my buttons are 5mm thick and I still manage! I am a trooper.

I keep a spare white shirt in my office specifically for this reason. Though, after it happened to me once, and I have the shirt there in case now, it will probably never happen again.

There's a guy in my office who has literally a closet full of suits in the office. I should also mention that in the 5 years that I have known him I think I have seen him wear a suit about 3 times.

Maybe he's worried that if he wears a suit you'll grab his crotch, too? :confused:

I don't know, the skinny-legged ball hugging chinos he wears are much more appropriate for such a thing.

Your younger and shorter brother wants his blazer back.


I disagree with this comment. If anything, I noticed that the right shoulder overhangs a smidge. So the younger brother has one wider shoulder? I don't think the length is bad. In a super conservative/classical sense, maybe. But for a casual jacket, the length is modern. How open the quarters are is a taste preference in my mind. Perhaps these being so open and showing the sweater makes it appear smaller.
