A sampler:

Styleforum.net is one of about a half-dozen Web logs and Internet discussion sites that have emerged in the past few years to cater to the sometimes fanatical interests of those immersed in the world of classical men's clothing. Styleforum, with about 1,100 members, and AskAndyAboutClothes.com, with about 1,600, are probably the most popular. They attract recent college graduates just entering the business world; midcareer bankers, lawyers and financiers; and a handful of custom tailors who appear on the sites to offer counsel and also to defend themselves when the particularities of their cutting and sewing methods are maligned or questioned.

Oddly, neither Styleforum nor AskAndy were begun by men with encyclopedic knowledge of lapel widths. As Jeremy Jackson, the founder of Styleforum, put it, "I have no idea what these people are talking about." Mr. Jackson, a 25-year-old office manager at his stepfather's construction company in Seattle, had a mild fascination with clothes when he started the site two years ago. He had participated in an online fashion forum run by GQ magazine but found it too vituperative in tone. "There was a lot of fighting," he said. Moderating Mr. Jackson's site to make sure tempers don't flare too aggressively is a San Antonio writer named Steve Brinkman, whom Mr. Jackson has never met.

Andy Gilchrist, of AskAndy, started his site in 2001, two years after retiring from the aerospace division of TRW in Redondo Beach, Calif. "I'm shocked sometimes at the level of involvement here," Mr. Gilchrist said. "I thought I was pretty obsessed but I've never paid $1,600 for shoes." During part of his tenure at TRW, Mr. Gilchrist, now 60 and coming up on his 35th wedding anniversary, indulged his fascination with men's tailoring by taking a second job on the weekends at a branch of Polo Ralph Lauren. He was the top salesman, he said, for five of his six years at the shop. "I couldn't sell cars but I could sell clothes because I love them," he said. He owns 300 ties.

And the Russian reindeer joke...

One afternoon last week, a member of Styleforum.net, a Web site devoted to the discussion of men's clothing and lifestyle, asked fellow members about a shoe that had aroused his curiosity. The shoe, a cap-toe lace-up from the British cobbler Poulsen Skone, was not the sort of thing one finds at Brooks Brothers. Costing $1,500, it was made of Russian reindeer hide salvaged from a shipwrecked Danish brigantine -- the Catherina von Flensburg -- that had sunk off the coast of Cornwall in 1786.

"I understand that both Cleverley and John Lobb of St. James obtained some of these hides too," the Web poster wrote, referring to two London-based purveyors of custom shoes. "If anyone has bought any please post pictures. I understand that Prince Charles has got a pair, but he has yet to join the forum."

Fit with Yellow Tie

 Here is a fit with a yellow paisley tie.

 

A yellow Boss paisley tie with a black DB blazer, some navy shirt.

In other words, putting styleforum to shame.

Arched tie - live and learn from the best.

(in other words, tie has a boner)

But seriously, what I learned from this fit (and elsewhere) is that a yellow tie works with a navy shirt and a black blazer (and olive trousers too) but maybe not with all of them at the same time.

 

Antifa Hoodie Style

Here am I all dressed up in Antifa hoodie style.

WARWRN: A Linen Jacket for the Summer 2020!

What are you (me) wearing right now (WAYWRN): a linen jacket for the summer!

Actually the "right now" was already a couple of days ago as I first posted this on my other blog.

Also, some of those face covering images (I mean move poster ones) don't seem now as funny as they did when I just made them but can't be helped, sorry.

Sleeves are too long but will have to do without alterations as they are comparable expensive and it would be like throwing good money away after bad.

But, on the other hand, extra-long sleeves will come in handy when needed to insulate myself from door handles and such in public establishments to avoid any bare hand contact - very important especially in this day and age!

Brand is nothing to write home about but it is okay I guess.
