Rocking the new brown suede Chelsea boots today. Black leather jacket. I'll get my little work buddy to take a photo when she gets in. Updated with full outfit with the Vanson competition weight jacket. This thing is over 30 years old and still not broken in! I bought it last year from a guy who got it as a gift and never wore it. Thankfully he properly stored it...it's like new. That competition weight leather is the real deal, especially on the older Vanson jackets like this one the the brass Talon zippers. I've actually slept in it 2 nights (one of the suggested break in methods) but that really isn't fun. It's a bit less straight-jacket like than when I got it, Thankfully.

Good morning gentlemen, I am sure that many of you as myself are in several of these communities that are basically under Real Men Real Style. I love being in them all but my favorite is RMRS. Don’t get me wrong I have learned and gained so much from them all but RMRS is the main one for me, Why? Well, Brotherhood of Scent is great to learn about fragrances, to read reviews, get others opinions, and great for finding deals. But I feel so limited about that aspect because I feel after that not much to say in there. Watch Lover, another great community where I have learned a lot about watches and the wide array of watches and never imagined that there are so many beautiful watches out there but how much time is time? But RMRS is a horse of a different color. We not only discuss styles, but accessories, events, lifestyles, and such an array of topics. I feel that I grow and learn every time I come into this community. We tackle and talk about things that we normally would not discuss in our work environment or even with friends and family, why? Because very few understand our plights and the journey that we are on. They see the changes but they do not quite know why or fully understand why we are who we are or striving to be who we are. This community is so strong of men that are the modern day Knights that believe in Honor, Chivalry, Respect, Dignity. We are in different countries, states, cities, communities, but we all have the same things in common and are willing to share with each other. I have seen men grow in here, I seen men share their personal experiences ( yesterday we talked pajamas) can’t get too much personal than that! But this community has so much more to offer for me and I value it greatly. The topics, opinions, styles, friendships, brotherhood, are endless. I have found motivation, encouragement, ideas, handy tips on shopping for clothes and accessories, do it yourself tips on maintenance and repair of clothing and accessories, and so much more. I hope that all of you value these communities a valuable resource as much as I do, and yes I am particularly grateful and partial to RMRS. What is you take on these communities? What is your favorite one and why?

I liked the double monks that I got from TLB so much that I bought a pair of wingtips too. 207 artistas, they’re beautiful! If you’ve considered a pair, jump!
