Introduce yourself.

[Dmusr]

Hello all! I’m Dave from Albany, NY. I’m closer to 60 than 50 and I’ve been wearing a uniform for work the last 30+ years. When I attend Masonic or Shriner events I like to wear classic business suits and the occasional tuxedo. I’m currently in the throes of collecting Allen Edmonds and vintage American made dress shoes. Horween Shell Cordovan is my favorite leather. I’ve dabbled in fountain pens, DE razors and badger shave brushes, firearms, whiskey, cigars, tobacco pipes etc. When I retire from my current profession I will most likely go into real estate. I like to keep busy and live well.

This is a thread in which you introduce yourself, regulars and new members alike. This is one thread I'd like to keep reasonably civil and reasonably clean, so, let's do that, okay?

I'll start. I'm Fok, one of the adminstrators on the forum. I have a bunch of kids and live in Idaho. If anyone told me any of the above 6 years ago, I would have wanted whatever they were smoking.

I wear jeans 24/7 - mostly Triple Works and RRL, and otherwise, have a lot of belts and overpriced Italian made sneakers. I mix up Wings+Horns, RRL, Jil Sander, Margiela, Haversack, Woolrich Woolen Mills, and SNS Herning,

Hope that you guys have a good time on the forum.

Cheers,

Fok.

Hi there, I've been reading this forum for a few months, and thought I should introduce myself.

I live in the Washington DC area with my family, and I've started to think about stepping up my style.

Cheers!

Hello Everyone,

I have visited this site many times over the last few years. I have used it as a reference and resource for more than a few of my clothing purchases. Going forward I hope to give a little bit back. Thank you all for your the knowledge I have gained by reading this forum.

I’m not sure if I belong in a ‘style‘ forum because my style is pretty conservative and classic. I work at a bank in a client facing role and wear suits 5 days a week. I’m currently rotating 10 suits all grey and blue though different shades and patterns.

I’m married with 3 teens and trying to look put together on a budget is a challenge. after years of buying one cheap black pair of rubber bottomed captoe shoe and wearing it every day until it was destroyed only to repeat, I finally am building a shoe rotation.

Last year DSW had a huge sale and I bought 3 dress shoes to go with my captoe and then bought a different captoe to rotate five dress shoes for the first time in my lif!e!

i recently made a goal to slowly integrate good year welted shoes into my rotation until I have a solid stable of shoes that will last 10 years or so. My google searches for shoe and suit advice have led to this site full of men who care about looking good and owning quality clothing and shoes.

Hi, well here you are, a new member of a 'style' forum. Welcome aboard!

Hello! I'm corpseposeur,

I've been a longtime lurker here. Styleforum has been a great resource for me to learn about clothing. I have learned a lot here and through my own experiences, I hope to share my views and experiences in the hopes that it would be useful to others.

Over the past year, in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, I've looked to improve my tailored clothing wardrobe and develop my sense of style and taste. I am a creative professional that lives and works in New York. My thinking was that it was a welcome distraction from the pandemic and something to keep me optimistic about the future. My approach to clothing at present is to form some basic guidelines and present a consistent image.

For formal suits, I like a structured Savile Row style. Currently my favorite tailors are Kent, Haste and Lachter (or Kent & Haste), Whitcomb & Shaftesbury and Meyer & Mortimer.

For sportcoats and everyday office wear: I prefer something a bit softer. I have a comission from Tom Mahon and company at Redmayne. I also have a few pieces from O'Connell's and Stoffa.

For casual wear: inexpensive merino wool sweaters and a standard issue pair of Levis work best for me.

I look forward to posting here.

Best,
corpseposeur.
