Dept of Badly-Dressed Men

Hi guys!  You know I love you, right?  You know that I want you to look your best, right?  Well, I do.  Of course I do.   To that end, here’s a Pro Tip for you:
When buying a new topcoat, it’s important to note that the sleeve tag and those pretty “X” stitches on the vents [...]

What, you thought they had begun hibernating for the winter?  Oh no, my friends.  Deck the halls with trouser folly!
I walked behind this gentleman for the final few blocks of yesterday morning’s commute:
Yes.  His trousers really are that short.  His jacket sleeves really are that long.  And you can’t see very well in my crappy [...]

Oh Noes! A Pantsuit!

Oh. My. God.  First of all, people actually wondered about what Elena Kagan was going to wear for her first oral argument?
Second of all, anyone with half a brain would realize, after (amazingly) wasting the time wondering about this, that she’s a woman.  Women aren’t meant to wear cutaway coats and striped trousers for morning [...]

This morning, on the Metro platform, I looked down at the street and saw, sauntering up the sidewalk toward the station, a gentleman dressed in the following:
1 – Ropers
2 – White ten-gallon hat
3 – Pressed, dark dungarees (I’d call them “jeans,” but he’d probably get offended)
4 – Aviator sunglasses
5 – wait for it…
6 – White [...]

Just Say No

Look, this is ridiculous.  Cotton (brushed, poplin) suits look crappy, even on the models!  As soon as a man sits down, they wrinkle, I don’t care in what fancy shop they were bought.
People.  It’s linen.  It’s seersucker.  (But what possesses people to ever wear black with seersucker, anyway?  Oxblood, at the darkest.  Oxblood spectators are [...]
