Great to see RJman too.

I hate my friends who decide to have an outdoor wedding in Texas from May through September. **** them.

I went to a wedding in Houston this year on September 28th. 6pm start time, outdoors, black tie, and I sweat. Mercifully, it rained during the day and was overcast, but I had brought a battery powered fan just in case.

I had to go to an outdoor wedding this year near Austin on September 1 at 6pm. Reception was indoors and everyone was relaxing in the AC but the wedding planner or whatever made everyone go sit outside at 5:50. Bride and groom took their time and actual ceremony wasn’t until about 6:20. I still hate them for that. I seriously haven’t spoken to either one since the wedding.

Talking about #menswear on the internet is bullshit. Ever wonder what you could do with those hundreds (thousands?) of hours wasted?

...are you seriously suggesting that watching Appreciation would have been better ? How sick are you?

Did anyone know that Dincklelacker did a collab with Junya Watanabe in 2016? They should pay Ed a fee because their designer obviously reads this board

Agree to the extent of a few brands popular on SF.
Then again, proper dress trousers in N. America, implies to me, a silhouette of a DOCKERS slacks with pleats removed. Only Varvatos, Made in Italy trousers, have a decent fit around hip and thigh.

Back in August 2012, Anton started a thread, “How to Wear a White Shirt,” which noted that “Trump's signature is to wear some horrible bright satin tie in a color that clashes terribly with a white shirt.” But the betrayals of his earlier beliefs are more than aesthetic. In 2011, he began “Trump is #2 in GOP Field,” which would become the Current Events section’s main Trump thread. The text of the first post: “And #1 among Tea Party voters,” followed by three rage faces. When Trump tied Mike Huckabee atop one 2012 primary poll: sixrage faces. When Trump finally decided against running in May 2011, Anton wrote, “gr;tpos”—good riddance; true *************.

Wow, Just wow!!!

How many hours did the writer Invest researching Styleforum? The SF references seem too well choreographed. Or was this an “inside hatchet job”?

I may have to go back to 2007 and audit all my entries

Longwings are bullshit.

Austerity brogue is neither brogue nor it is austere. Discuss.

 

[patrickBOOTH]

It is, austere.

 

[jrd617]

"Austerity" = no punched holes or any complicated designs.

Who coined the term Austerity? Vass?

Was it an SF invention, like "quarters"? (No tailors use the term "quarters" but it's used here extensively)
