Yesterday, on a whim, I decided to change up my hair. I decided to go with a classic cut, though I've worn my hair with kind of a messy look for a few years now. I asked the barber for tapered side and back with it longer and fuller on top, so that I can part on the side. I wear a suit and...

I bought a pair of used white bucks on ebay....after shipping, they cost about $18.00. I don't know if they are comfortable or of good quality, but they look decent from the picture and will do the job. I just hope they are comfortable, but if not, they will do until I find a better pair...

A wonderful little poem I came across last night.....I thought I'd share. :) The Death of the Hat --Billy Collins Once every man wore a hat. In the ashen newsreels, the avenues of cities are broad rivers flowing with hats. The ballparks swelled with thousands of straw hats...

What a great suit. If you see any like that with a jackin in a 40R or 40L, and a 33 or 34 waist....please let me know!

It was on clearance, normally costs around $300 or $350. Here is a description from the website: "Our classic cotton seersucker, lightly garment-washed for softness. Three-button closure. Chest pocket, flap pockets, interior pockets. Nonfunctional buttons at cuffs. Center back vent. Cotton...

Just please don't do it with the shotgun!!!!!

I looked at e-bay, and none of the Polo ones are in my size. I will keep an eye out. I really want some white bucks, because that is the traditional look I am going for. :) Edit: I found some white bucks on e-bay.....they are used, but look to be in fairly good condition. They are...

Great looking suit! I have been wanting to find some vintage suits lately....but I don't know where to begin or what to look for. Do you have any pointers about looking on ebay....what do I look for? How do I know the time period it was made? How do I know if it is a good suit?

I just bought a new seersucker suit from J.Crew where they are on sale for around $160. This is my first seersucker, and I am a bit nerveous about wearking it, though quite excited. :) It should come in late this week. Being new to seersuckers, I need advice on the following: 1. Shoes...

It depends upon the feather, but I like them. If I bought a hat with a feather, I'd leave it in if I liked the feather.

I think it is a real possibility. If you have read anything about the Peak Oil theory, that is exactely what will happen as the supply of oil peaks and begins to decline through the years. At some point, the decline in oil supply will cause massive reprecussions through the world economy.

I first got a driver's cap about a year ago. I started wearing it, and really grew attached to it. I saw a fedora in a store, and thought, I think I want a fedora. When I went back to buy it, it was gone. :( So I started looking on the internet, and came across vintage fedora's and loved...

I wore my fedora this morning to the office. The oldest member of my firm saw me and said, "We are a rare breed." He wears fedoras also. I told him I had caught the bug. I think he enjoys having a young guy around that wears hats.

I just bought a Fedora and have not worn it enough yet to provoke comments. But, I was wearing a driver's cap, and a kid asked me, "Where were you born?" I told her the town I was born in and she said, "Oh," and appeared dissapointed. I asked what was wrong, and she said that she was sure...

A great looking hat!
