    Too old for sneakers?

    Other folks have recommended variants on this, but have you tried plimsolls (canvas upper, rubber soles) in a plain color? Running shoes are hideous no matter how old you are.

    Recognize this bag? [from NYT photo]

    Long shot, but does anyone recognize the bag slung over this armed gentleman's shoulder? The apparent size and configuration look interesting. (photo by Mauricio Lima for The New York Times)

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    Haha, no, it's just odd to have two other people talk about a specific place that I know. Now when I go into the Goodwills, I'm eyeing everyone up and down: "Is he one of Us?" It's like when you start dating someone, you kinda forget for a little while that other people were there first LOL. I...

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    A great shirt that matches nothing I own...

    Well in any case, it dresses down well with some dark jeans, so all is not lost. That's a clue, IMO. The physical styling (cloth, collar) is that of a more formal shirt, but the color says casual. You were on a better track with the jacket with the red overcheck, although the match still isn't...

    Motorcycle gear

    I've commuted using an Aerostich for 10+ years (Seattle WA, and SF, CA) and highly recommend it. It's made to be worn over regular clothing, and you can wear it over a sportcoat/suit.

    Opinion on pink jeans.

    Okay, but cuff those jeans like you mean it -- too much break. Can't get behind the tie, tho.

    Uglier Than Crocs.

    There is a phenomenon known in some quarters as "REI ugly." ...clothes that are both intentionally hideous and surprisingly expensive and which are designed for members of the granola crowd who wish to demonstrate their contempt for crass materialism by buying really ugly clothes produced in...

    TM Lewin vs Tyrwhitt and Thomas Pink?

    >>disintegrate like kleenex with the lightest of stubble brushes. Wow. I thought that it was just me -- I was really disappointed when I saw my TM Lewin collars start to fuzz up.
