Halloween '08 & '09
Pics missing.
Your editor was unable to operate a camera those unfortunate years.
‘08 Don Draper (terrible, but under various constraints)
‘09 Zombie Billy Mays (use your imagination.)

Just got a message...
From a blogger who shall remain nameless (unless they choose to reveal themselves).
They said I have the angriest blog on Tumblr, maybe the world.
I do tend to provoke people, but I thought it was a bit hyperbolic.
You?
yieldofthemind asked: Where did you get that awesome peacoat? I need one.

Seconded. I am a huge Halloween fan and every time I read “just wear a suit” and call it something I want to strangle my computer. That’s just dressing up, not Halloween.
If you don’t want to celebrate, don’t. But be warned, if this is your attitude on an occasion when you’re supposed to be cutting loose:
Sure, you stand out, but at least you don’t...

tinytwists asked: I have recently started updating my wardrobe to a more adult look and I really appreciate all the tips your blog affords. When I've been stuck on how to wear a certain piece or looking for direction on where I'd like to take a look, your photos have been able to shed some light. I was wondering, and maybe this is too personal of question, how much have you invested in your wardrobe and...

howtotalktogirlsatparties asked: "My point is mostly that style/fashion get tossed around with little regard to what they “mean”." I think these are two subjective terms that get thrown around a ton, which I why I have more or less stopped using them/tried to denote the difference. I don't think it matters at all and I hope people are not longer getting hung up on them. All of us like clothes. Some of...
howtotalktogirlsatparties asked: To each his own, but just know that specific lugg sole is made by Vibram (Vibram is not a type of sole, but a company/brand that makes many types of soles). Also, lugg soles are integral to a heavily "cosigned" shoe - the hiking boot. Based on your "elegant" argument brogue boots or any type of dress boots would also be "100% fashion". All we wanted to make a...

10 Brands?
This is something I’ve alluded to before but never expounded on. This seems like the right time.
Menswear bloggers live in abject fear of being branded as blogging about “fashion” instead of “style.” Blogging about “Style” has tremendous currency in the menswear blogosphere while blogging about “fashion” is one step above being beaten with a...

A Collected Gentleman: A COLLECTED INTERVIEW:A... →
I should probably reblog this (it is about me after all).
Seriously though, I’d really like to thank ACG for this interview series. They’ve all been interesting and worth reading. It’s cool to get some insight into some of the people I’m following. And I always appreciate people positively engaging with the community like Isiah does.
Now the question is will he...

If we want to have grown man style, we need to...
The other day before I went to work, this post (by a not-insignificant blogger about another not-insignificant blogger) hit my dash (tagged #Full Retarded). Then the esteemed Nice Try Bro chimed in with the thoughtful comment,
If I met someone and it came out that he was friends with Mr. Dan, I’d immediately know we ourselves could not be friends.
And the entire blogosphere wept. Or at...

A pleasant surprise.
For the wedding last weekend I was in a tux. Now, as much as I wanted to just wear my midnight blue, shawl collared tux, it wasn’t my call. So I had to *shudder* rent from Men’s Warehouse (cue ominous music). The surprise?
It wasn’t that bad.
Don’t get me wrong, I would be winning any awards, but it was not nearly the clusterfuck I had been led to believe from the...

My girlfriend moves in...
at the end of the week.
But before that happens, my room is getting sheetrocked.
So first, we’re moving into the living room.
Posting might be reduced (also, I might be covered in sheetrock dust and lose all places to take pictures of myself).
Hopefully back up this week, definitely up next week.
