    What's Your Take on Modern Men's Fashion (Not Talkin About Tieless Busi- Casual Crap)

    It seems like the reign of business-casual is a stereotype dominating men's fashion today. Doesn't mean that modernized styles cant be in good taste either. classic: http://bp1.blogger.com/_qjpwnPW4c1o/SJGoCBy6r9I/AAAAAAAAD1o/j4GjoUsM2PA/s1600-h/6188MrCoolSuitweb.jpg modern, yet clean...

    European 30s Styles

    Thats the most appealing windowpane I've seen. Rittmeister, I think you gave me inspiration for my next 3pc. I really like the high cut arms, clean pockets and the one-button - really minimalistic yet elegant. I'm probably going to update the cut of the pant with something less baggy...
