    A couple of fashion pet peeves...

    Navy suits are highly versatile. The most popular choice is brown but almost any shoe color will also match this suit. Gray suits pair well with a variety of colors including black, lighter brown or camel. Charcoal suits look best with black or dark burgundy shoes. How To Match A Shoe To A Suit...

    A couple of fashion pet peeves...

    Fair enough. No offense intended, just an opinion expressed. I'm sure it won't change anyone's mind, just theirs wouldn't change mine.

    A couple of fashion pet peeves...

    1) Shorts in the winter. It was 20 degrees yesterday and I saw no less than three guys out in shorts. I don't care how much of a mountain man you are, you look silly. Put on some long pants. 2) This untucked shirt thing. Don't get me wrong, I wear mine untucked at times, but a shirt tail...

    What would you not be seen dead in?

    Lovely MG's gents! My '70 MGB/GT (daily driver for many years) finally went down the road. I miss it sometimes, but must admit I don't miss the many weekends under the bonnet; I hardly know what the engine compartment of my 2000 Toyota 4Runner looks like :)!

    What would you not be seen dead in?

    The camo. No offense intended to you Sir!

    What would you not be seen dead in?

    "BTW I lived in WV for two years. Everyone wears camo all the time at a minimum a hat or shirt. It's like the state color" Why does that not surprise me?

    What would you not be seen dead in?

    Camo anywhere outside of a deer stand or a duck blind.

    Collar pins, Yes or No?

    Love 'em. Like a pocket square, they just "finish".

    Show us your TIES

    I used to wear a coat and tie to work every day, but my one concession to nonconformity was to wear ties that expressed my hobbies and interests, like hunting... fishing... boating... horsey stuff... golf and games... a good smoke, and a few special occasions related... etc. Of...

    The wonder of wedding bands

    I've worn my wedding ring through (as of this June) 47 years of marriage to the love of my life. I've had it resized twice; I'd feel naked without it. My late father-in-law almost declined heart surgery because they told him they'd have to cut his wedding ring off; he hadn't had it off in so...

    Vintage Eyeglasses

    For years I've wanted a pair of the old half-octagon eyeglasses; I think I read somewhere that there's some sort of safety restriction and they're not allowed to sell the any more. True or not I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me, given all the steps that government is taking to try to save...

    Cowboy Boots

    Love those boots. They look very similar in appearance to the Sanders boots I used to wear back in the day (like around 30 years ago :eek:). I'm not a fan of boots with a cockroach-killer toe; yours have a nice semi-pointed toe and a good dogging heel - real cowboy boots as opposed to the...

    Looking for hat information?

    Take a look at some North Korean crowd photos; looks similar to caps I've seen there. Don't have a source though.

    Looking for hat information?

    Update...the Territory is on the way, in Sandtone Fawn. Coupled with my summer straw from Ace Hardware I'm good to go :)!

    Looking for hat information?

    Thanks for the heads up on the wool/fur thing; good to know. I think that takes the Longhorn out of the equation. Probably going for the Territory, and not to worry about the temperature; just bought a $10 straw for summer at my local Ace Hardware :)!

    Looking for hat information?

    Thanks for the Black Sheep link; those hats are nice but way above the budget for this application. Can't see staining a $500 hat up with sweat, fly floatant and gun grease :).

    Looking for hat information?

    I'm strongly considering a new hat. I want a good old wide-brimmed slouch hat for outdoor activities. Among my possible choices... The Akubra Territory... or the Riverina... Both Akubras have the same size brims, the difference being the band and the crease (that's what we used to call...

    Briefcase Style

    Yep; I just retired my Eddie Bauer bag - a leather one about the same vintage as yours. I loved that bag but it finally gave up the ghost. Like you I had replaced the strap swivels and done a few other repairs but the leather finally wore through in several places and there just wasn't enough...

    Brotherhood of good old Cardigan :-))

    Nothing like a shawl-collared cardigan and a pair of good slippers on a winter evening!

    Briefcase Style

    Mine's from Saddleback Leather; reminiscent of the old barrister's cases I guess. It's substantial; if I'm gonna carry one I want to be able to get some stuff in it! An built like a tank; like their tag line says: they'll fight over it after you're dead.
