Dogs seem to behave the same way over the centuries with or without a codpiece.

The Fedora. It may be creeping back a little bit, but it's still too widely reviled when doing anything but accompanying jeans and a t-shirt, particularly for what used to be a standard and highly complimentary piece of the classic tailored ensemble.

The Cravat. The proper one, not all that wedding matchy-matchy nonsense.

Chain mail?

Actually, I wore cotton turtulenecks a lot when my son was just a baby ... yeah wool would be nice, but I needed something easily washable as I was facing a steady stream of baby-muck stains so a functionality compromise was needed.

... actually, it's an early audition photo for The Untouchables, back when the film was set in San Fransisco, circa 1969.

I fully support the turtleneck as a staple item.

I had a hell of a time finding one at a good price this last winter.
