Just back from a long weekend in Portland, Maine, and this is as formal as I can be this morning, after having spent a good deal of the weekend in polo shirts, shorts, and no socks.

Sports jacket and trousers - BB
Shirt - Saks
Tie - JAB
PS - no brand name
Shoes - Boergdorf Goodman house brand (most likely Magnanni)








Great city isn't it?

I work downtown and love it!

I couldn't care less. How else are people going to know they are becoming popular. I think I mentioned before I wore them consistently while covering sports and talking to deadbeat footballers surrounded by deadbeat journos in jeans and track tops. No one ever said a thing. Who cares what people think.
If anyone asks or makes a derogatory comment I would say, I take pride in my appearance, what's your excuse for looking like a bum?


Its not about caring what people think, its about being aware of your environment and understanding when sometimes wearing something in said environemnt is not quite right, regardless of what people think.

Also, sometimes its just a PIA to deal with peoples asinine comments, and when Im not in the mood for that, I will often skip it. Ymmv, but there is nothing wrong with a person who feels a PS is not appropriate for his surroundings, its not like not wearing pants.

I saw Portland, ME under optimal conditions - the weather was great this past weekend, I had the use of an apartment within walking distance of Commercial St., and a local guide (my cousin) to recommend the best restaurants and other activities. It made for a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend.

Understand but it's odd that in Australia not one person has commented on my PS. They are starting to proliferate here as well now.
I dress however I want, no matter the surroundings or the people therein.

Just tell them the hanky is a homage to JFK or RR, depending on the political environment.;)


Err, I'm not American but I believe both these gentlemen drew quite a bit of attention. Sartorially as well... ;)

I don't plan on engaging in a pointless debate. Wear what you want, people. I plan on doing the same...which won't include pocket squares.
