dieworkwear asked: Just to note, those Amanas are itchier than a mofo. I bought the ones LN-CC were selling - the brown one and the grey one. I really like them, but you really have to wear them carefully given how thorny they are.
It's all to the good though cause I'll put that ish on like a crowning jewel and suffer through it like I'm Steezus Christ.

The $17 made-in-America nordic & tartan wool scarf
Check out these awesome scarves from Amana Woolen Mills in nordic and tartan prints. Not only are they 100-percent wool and made in America, but they’re cheap — $17, if you can believe it.
Even funnier, these same scarves were selling for $166, as pointed out by dieworkwear (who you should give a follow and deserves credit for this find).

girouxmcisaak asked: In Re: to style "staples", I find that a lot of them are more or less "these things look good on most people" instead of "you absolutely need this". White dress shirt? That's a staple. Desert boots? Pretty awesome, but I wear mine rarely. Even though it's a giant "staple", I don't have a navy suit because it's not THAT necessary.

This Fits: A Challenge to All: Wear a Tie Tomorrow →
thisfits:
Tomorrow marks the last day of Will’s 100 Days of Ties Project. Appropriately enough, it falls on a Friday, whose relaxed dress codes have led to ties being a novelty in many workplaces.
Over the past few months, the project has energized the online men’s style community and emboldened guys (and girls!) across the country to not just wear a tie to casual offices, but to do it like...

Cold weather? Layer up. Oxford shirt, acrylic cardigan sweater, donegal tweed jacket. The jacket is actually part of a suit, but it’s extremely versatile to wear the jacket and pants separately.
Usually, I make it a point to not wear oxfords to work, as I find them a bit casual, but it’s Friday, it’s cold and I like the heavy fabric. Plus, I was wearing jeans, too.
Stay warm...

Anonymous asked: In response to your watch band post; I bought some watch bands from Central Watch in the 5 for 30 deal. They are all very nice bands especially for the price. You will need to adjust the length to suit your wrist, but other than that they are a helluva steal.

williamstelmach asked: The other day you asked what shoe polish people used. Well last night I realized I was out of black so I went to my local leather shop to see what they had and ask opinions. The old guy working scoffed at my Allen Edmonds polish and told me to try Meltonian. I must say, he was on to something. I used their saddle soap, mink oil and polish. Pretty nice.

Any favorite brands? I’d love to have your feedback as I’ve never shined my own shoes before and looking to do it this weekend. Thanks for your input!

Where to buy 16mm watch bands & straps
Recently, I got two new watches that had narrower watch-strap widths at 16mm. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to find very many of the much-loved NATO straps in that width. Don’t fret, as I found quite a few colorful alternatives.
Brooks Brothers: $14.50 — I actually went with quite a few of these, snagging them on sale. The metal holes are a nice touch and seem like...

The work uniform. Not entirely sure why I went with royal purple on the square, but it’s mainly just because I really dig that color.

How to build a wardrobe
Building a wardrobe isn’t something you do overnight. It’s not a checklist that you can read on a blog or forum and follow. Sure, there are many general guidelines you can follow and “wardrobe must-haves” that should be in your closet, but the process isn’t as simple and sterile and straightforward.
Just like an off-the-rack suit won’t fit every guy the same...
