Reminds me of the time I was doing a cross country trip that happened to coincide with Sturgis. The rest stops were all overflowing with motorcycles. There I was in a utility kilt, and not as single issue. I seem to remember at least one biker in a more traditional looking kilt (tartan, with the res...

Hmm... We all get a shout out here, with a link to the cafe:

Well done kid!

I'm seriously taking notes. The shoes, the short sleeves and vest, and yet knee socks. I wouldn't have done it, yet it looks so good that I might have to borrow a thing or two from your son...

So I've been reading the book by Ford, mentioned above. Some interesting stuff. I want to argue with the author occasionally, but overall a good read so far. Apparently there was a men's dress reform movement in there 1920's: The reformers insisted that men's clothing was physically and psychologica...

Hi Dust Just want to pick up on these points you raised. The first part has not really been the case in my own experience. I was cowed by societal expectation without a doubt but I cannot say that there was any conscious intention to cause actual harm. Actual harm can be caused without conscious in...

From the article: And unlike many celebrity-fronted trends, painterly pantyhose are cheap, endlessly cheerful and easily accessible. Just pick your color. This is an interesting observation. The most famously masculine skirt of all time, the kilt, is horrendously expensive. That's likely one reason ...

I think this is proof that even the so-called "experts" have no idea what to do about shoes for men in the absence of long pants...

Yeah, that was a detour, but I thought it was an important one. You can only push the help so far if they won't accept it. On frivolity, it's the colors I always wanted more of. Yellows, oranges, reds, and even greens and blues. Bright yellow paired with black for high contrast has always been a fav...

Has the fabric on yours softened up over time? Mine have been through a few washings and they're still kind of crisp/stiff. Maybe that's by design, they feel more like a uniform. I kind of wish it would soften up and drape a little smoother. The 4 snaps (3 waist/one under apron) are kind of nice vs...

I am generally positive. I'm ona bit of a downer right now and feel angry a lot of the time. Mostly I keep a cheery face. There's no point in going around with a long face. Sometimes you have to smile until the smile is genuine. When I read that we are treated as beasts of burden. I agree. I fell o...

Men aren't expected to be frivolous when it comes to clothes. I think you could have stopped right there. It's not just clothes. We are treated as beasts of burden in most cases, nothing more. Even learning to treat yourself as a full human being can be a challenge for some men. Show the world the ...

...I always heard these 5.11 commando kilts were amazing. So why? What is it about them that stands out? The 5.11 Tactical kilts are just a quality modern utility kilt, in reasonably good quality fabric (mid-weight rip-stop). They are significantly lighter than most others I have seen, as the cente...

There is precisely one difference between "men's" shirts and what are known as "blouses" -- the tails. Contemplate that for a few moments, and then think about items like Hawaiian shirts and madras shirts which lack tails, and thus can be worn nicely untucked as the tails are de...

Flawless update. If you hadn't posted about it, I would have had no idea... After some cursory testing here in my lab, I've gone ahead and installed the older-looking "Allan-SUBSILVER" style to the production site, so that can now be selected in the User Control Panel based on user prefere...

How!? How does anyone have that many pairs of pants, much less jeans alone! I don't have half that many skirts, kilts, pairs of pants, and shorts combined! And my closet is stuffed!
