    Seeking a kilt for everyday wear?

    I'm seeking a simple kilt for everyday wear. For a long time I considered a 5.11 Tactical Kilt. Unfortunately I can't tell is they are still being produced? I'm now considering a DNKE Greenhorn or Sports Utility kilt www.damnnearkiltem.com or maybe a Utility Kilt www.utkilts.com Utilikilts...

    List of different hats from more dressy to less dressy?

    I don't know what they tell others, but they have told me (I know them) a coat/tie or a suit.

    List of different hats from more dressy to less dressy?

    It's a Catholic church -- the pews are located in the nave, not the sanctuary. The people who get upset are ushers trying to enforce a dress code (suit/tie or sports coat/slacks/tie) that doesn't exist. The morning dress was originally pieced together to mock them. That's why they get upset...

    List of different hats from more dressy to less dressy?

    I live in California. We typically do not dress formally here. I attend a uppity parish where there is pressure to wear a blazer/tie or a suit on a fairly regular basis. I finally had enough of the squawking so I pieced together my own "uniform": White dress shirt with French cuffs. Burgundy...

    Wearing a top hat with a business suit and overcoat?

    Two weeks ago my wife and I attended an Christmas parade, followed by dinner with some friends. I figured when I got home I could change (I was wearing a charcoal business suit, white shirt, tie and black brogues) into some more casual, warmer clothes until I was informed about dinner. Since...

    The Kentucky Rancher is a heck of an idea. I didn't even know it existed. Thank you!

    I have a few outdoor cold (for California -- I'm cold adverse) events I need to attend where I need to be dressed-up (suit/tie and overcoat) so I figured I would get a hat to go with what I'm going to be wearing: navy blue or grey suit, white shirt, black brogues and a navy blue overcoat.

    Western, anyone?

    The only western hat bash I don't care for is the currently uber popular "George Straight snow shovel" bash.

    The Little Things Really Make a Difference!

    I was sitting in my vehicle waiting to give someone a ride when I noticed two guy leaving the local gov't center. They looked very similar and were dressed very similarly -- nice khaki pants and blue button down long-sleeved Oxford shirts. One guy had a ball cap on (nice as far as ball caps...

    Is/was there a "color code" for suspenders/braces in corporate US?

    Is there or was there a "color code" for wearing suspenders/braces in corporate US? Back around 1990 I was given a very nice set of red braces as I prepared to intern. A wise old sage in my office said that not only was I too young to wear braces, I also didn't hold the job title to justify...

    Who still wears suits these days?

    What professions still pretty much require the wearing of a suit these days and where? Attorneys? Only on court/important client days? How does it differ by city -- NYC, Chicago and LA? CPAs? Corporate officers? Anyone else?

    Grey flannel or twill trousers with morning dress?

    Honestly with your attitude, why don't you endeavor to keep your cake hole shut? While you're at it, learn how to think. No where in my postings did I suggest that I attend church in order to model certain outfits. I'm actually looking forward to this Sunday -- Easter Sunday. My morning dress...

    What color waistcoast for morning dress?

    I think that would work but one would really need good taste to ensure the combination "worked." If the waistcoat looked too much like the trousers it might get sketchy.
