    Hair Spray: Having Trouble Finding The Kind I Need

    Ick. Nothing scented, nothing "wet" - I just need something to keep my dry and natural, no-other-product-used style from flipping and flapping and flopping away in the lightest of breezes. Recommendations please?

    Pocket Squares - I'm Tired of Boring Folds.

    Very handsome photos abound of men who've cultivated organic, flowing, blooming but restrained volumes with their silk squares - but I don't have much luck trying to freestyle that sort of thing myself. All the folding guides online lack any of those sorts of folds - nothing floral, nothing...

    Pink-stripe Seersucker Trousers: Shirts to Accompany?

    The other what-to-wear-with-pink-seersucker-threads seemed to be more about shoes than anything else. As you've no doubt noticed, I'm insane. Ergo, I bought some pink seersucker trousers. I thought a blue, button-down collar blue gingham shirt in a very light weight would work well, when paired...

    "Resistance" Black Panther T-Shirts at Oki-Ni

    Moshi moshi! Did Oki-Ni get the shipment of Black Panther-themed t-shirts which will be sold to wealthy caucasian college students around the world who have never even heard of Bobby Seale? Choberi gu! --Ajapa?!?! ALL of the shirts were printed with impartial and objective language in...

    The Taming of the Jewfro

    Hi. Well, mine's not as curly as most, but it's extremely wavy, bushy and awfully frazzled. All the holding/shaping products and conditioners I've tried tend to weigh down and flatten-out my waves, which I don't want. I simply want flowing cohesion, sheen and hold while maintaining...

    Dark Neckties: Theory and Praxis

    Hola, With the possible exception of my pocket square, my necktie is always the lightest/brightest and "busiest" article worn in any ensemble of mine. So, my ties are yellows, oranges, reds, sky blue, bright green - that sort of thing. I always thought that the point of neckties was to direct...

    Rectangle-Shaped Eyeglasses Frames: Why the Ubiquity?

    I have to mail-order any frames that I like now because no optometrist within an hour's drive of me carries anything but frames in dark plastics with an elongated rectangular shape. What effect are they supposed to have upon the impression of a man's visage (and women's too, apparently) that has...

    OTR Suit Jacket Woes: What Causes "Cuff Sliding?"

    Hello - I buy OTR, for now, and a problem I have consistently with the suit jackets or sport coats that I buy is that, when I raise or reach my arms out, the cuffs of the jacket slide along my arms, exposing far too much of the cuff and sleeve of my shirt underneath. Is this due entirely to...

    Sailing the Tropics: Shirts, Trousers, Hats?

    Just wondering where the heck to pick up the sort of loose, light and breathable - yet exceptionally sturdy - clothing that I'll need for an extended sailing trip, about a month long. I've only been out in chilly waters before, so I don't have any of the wardrobe I'll need, nor knowledge from...

    Weighted Jump Ropes - Recommend Brands?

    There seem to be a few on the market, and I haven't the opportunity to try even one of them. So have you had any positive experiences with any? Or, perhaps more importantly, negative experiences with any? Thanks very much.

    Funeral For The Dearly Despised: What Would You Wear?

    Hello hello, There are all of these threads about funeral wear lately, and all of them are no fun at all. Imagine. So, say - what little, subtle, witty detail would you add if you weren't too keen on the former owner of the corpse being given the old heave-ho? I hate lots of old people...

    Shoes: Which To Go With This C-Bund?

    Hey guys, thanks for reading. I've got a weakness for some styles that are rather a little gaudy, and now I'm paying the price; I have NO idea what kind of shoes will go with my c-bund. Somehow it makes all of my black shoes look a little cheap in comparison, so I don't think that matching is...

    Trousers: Tailors Akin to Jantzen/MyTailor? Alterations? Brands w/ Specific Features?

    SUP DAWG HOW CAN I GET DOZENS OF EXTRA ZIPPERS ADDED TO MY PANTS THAT WOULD BE STYLIN YO Thanks for reading, very much appreciate your help. Before I get into the inane and insipid series of questions regarding what's possible through alteration, let's address the more fundamental query of...

    Black Harlem/NewOrleans/Jazz/Blues Style: History, Trends, Status, Availability?

    HI IM WHITE CAN I FEEL YOUR DIFFRUNT-LOOKIN HAIR ? Everytime I see photos or documentaries or movies exhibiting the menswear styles and sensibilities produced by Black American culture up until about 30 years ago, my mind is blown. The cuts, the colors, the patterns - it just strikes me as so...

    Fresco Fabric: A Hot-Weather Fabric, But Only Available In Dark Colors/Patterns?

    Hello, Was hoping to get something in fresco and spare myself some agony this coming summer. I took a peek at the websites of J&J Minnis and H&S. Apart from the PoW check and something bronzey, all the swatches were incredibly dark, though; I was hoping for something more casual and brighter...

    Bright-Colored Sportcoats: Did I Make A Bad Buy?

    I bought two sportcoats from STP for $60 apiece. I'm an art student and I live in Florida, if those qualities are at all helpful in determining whether these coats aren't poor purchases for me. Coat's webpage: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/0...t-For-Men.html Direct link to large image...

    Are These Shoes a Mistake?

    http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatP...Natural-cognac Well, I could qualify that question with all manner of description of my current stock of shoes, the status of my wardrobe, etc., but what I really want to know is what you lot think of these shoes all on their own. Good to have, or good for...

    Help/Thoughts With This Ensemble? No pics.

    Hello, thanks for reading. I worry whether I'm not getting too carried away with diverse fabrics and clashing colors, and posting this thread to see if anyone calls it out as tasteless. I'm an art student, not a business professional, so I can get away with a bit more of whatever, if that makes...
