    "Baseball caps are for getting the morning paper. And for baseball."

    That's blasphemy! Baseball caps can be worn everywhere but church and funerals.

    BTW, I think the Timex/Rolex line shows it's not just a bunch of elitiist crap.

    I use a Rolex as my 'going to the lake' watch.

    More:
    Wearing suits when you don't have to will cause people to think that you have really great suits or that you are really comfortable wearing suits, or that Sy Syms is your uncle.

    Three-button suit: yes. Two-button: yes.
    One button: only on a tuxedo.

    Speaking of buttons, with two you fasten only the top button; with three it's either the middle or the middle and the top.

    Should you find yourself in a four-button suit coat: unfasten all buttons. Remove. Discard.

    How much of this book does BigRedJed have to post before he gets sued?
    I'm not happy until you're not happy.

    Pardon me for being a thread pooper. I need to lighten up.
    And I actualy DO have a very nice, long, black cashmere coat that says "Made in Yugoslavia" in the lining. It's saweeeet. My M-I-L is a tailor and she got it for me at a discount when she was working at Macy's. So I guess I accidentally can get stylish on occasion.

    I'll sit down and be nice for the rest of the thread.

    I'm thinkin' BigRedJed is my new, Sooner hero.

    Does it say anything in the book about "polyester" or other synthetics?

    My take.. No.. never. Anything in poly, rayon or any other man made synthetic is better in natural fibers... cotton, wool, the occasional silk accessory.

    We need to address the bowtie issue.

    Let's just get it all out there, Lid. C'mon now...

    Bow ties for every day business wear is an absolute no for most men. You have to have a certain attitude to be able to pull it off. It casts you as a non-conformist, an individualist and if you don't have a certain "way" about you, you can't go with that look.

    On the other hand, ALL MEN should know how to tie a bow tie... there is nothing quite so tacky as a tuxedo with a "clip on" bow. Learn to tie 'em gents.. it's not that hard.

    Plus they look cool when you untie them after the whisky gets to your head and everything gets kinda warm.

    Re: Things a ****ing Hillbilly Should Know... ...about style.

    What does the Bible, er... Esquire, say about broad-brimmed hats? I wear them (straw, of course) all the time in the summer for protection from the sun, is that too utilitarian?

    And Lid, as you suspect, the book doesn't like synthetics. However, it does say a very small percentage of lycra (1% with wool, for instance) is OK to help fabrics keep their shape.

    I must admit, being Lid's new Sooner hero makes me feel that I'm due for some serious introspection.

    More:
    A man, unless he is under the age of six, should not wear overalls.

    You know how the outside pockets of a new suit are stitched shut?
    Leave them stitched shut.

    This preserves the lean shape of a suit by prohibiting you from stuffing the pockets full of stuff.

    A good suit treated well shouldn't be dry-cleaned more than two or three times a season; a good tuxedo treated well should never be dry cleaned.

    Hopefully, they will understand that I am posting the material from this book in hope that it will inspire SO posters to actually purchase the book, either for themselves or to give as much-appreciated gifts. I'm making every effort to link to sources to purchase the book, providing proper credit, and making sure to put all quoted material in quote format.

    That said, I'm sure it breaks some obscure copyright law, so if the editors of said publication choose to get snarky and send some sort of cease and desist I will cooperate fully and delete the thread. That is, if Phil doesn't beat me to it.

    However, I feel confident that they won't, as the astute editors of Esquire will surely grasp the altruistic nature in which it was posted, and hopefully appreciate the free marketing I'm providing for this fantastic book.

    And... Top o', fashion victims.
