In this video, I visit Kent Haste on Savile Row to explore the world of bespoke womenswear—an area of tailoring that offers far greater freedom, creativity, and individuality than traditional menswear. While men’s tailoring follows established rules, womenswear allows for more shaping, expressive design, and personalisation. From structured suits and casual pieces to eveningwear and beautifully crafted overcoats, bespoke tailoring enables garments to be designed entirely around the wearer—rather than the wearer adapting to the garment.

Realizing my usual thoughts of suicide were becoming more prevalent and intense, I decided I would see a general practitioner for a referral to counseling. On the way I stopped at Waffle House for a late breakfast. The place was experiencing a temporary lull. Several stools at the counter available. I sat two stools from another man of about 60. I noticed his facial expression. As I sat I could feel his tension. Seconds later I felt his anger. His meal finished, he stood with his check in hand. I said, " wait please. I'll pay your check if you tell me what's going on." He replied, " It's personal!" "Everything thing is personal." "I don't know you! " " Do you know yourself?" He was immediately off balance. " It's not something I want to talk about in public with a stranger!" " Then we can talk in private." I paid his check and he agreed to follow me home. Turns out he went to his family doctor admitting to thoughts of suicide. According to the man, once he spoke to his doctor the doctor said to wait a minute while the doctor could tell his nurse he would be busy for a while. In reality, the doctor told his nurse to call an ambulance. After ten days in a psych ward he was released to a social worker and the police. An Administrative Warrant was issued. All of the man's guns and his knife collection was seized. As was all the medications that had been prescribed. He had to see a therapist once a month but a nurse practitioner twice each week but seldom the same one. I assisted him with stress relief and my phone number. I ain't going to any doctor. End of story.

Back in the 90s I went to see a movie in a theater. As usual, ten minutes into the movie I walked out. Another lousy flick. Went to a library, bookstore or home. Ten years ago and, I saw the last five minutes of the same movie. Convinced I was right to walk out of the movie years ago. Last night on UTube I watched the entire movie. With delight. I strongly recommend anyone over 40 will appreciate the portentous plot and dialogue. Maybe the older you are the more you will enjoy it. Even younger people may relate. The movie is Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone and a hilarious Sandra Bullock. I admit to enjoying the film, and it holding my interest perhaps partially due to the medical marijuana.

The other day, I posted a response to a joke involving Jesus Christ. I used the work "fuck" in my reply. I rarely use it but thought it was made a point in my response. I received what seemed to be possibly an automated reprimand/warning. As a member, I don't recall being asked if this was where we wanted to go as a society...censoring... Under former "rulership", some posts were provocative...everyone was free to express their opinions and thoughts or don't read it and ignore it. It was fun to peruse some of the posts and enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded gentlemen and Ladies. Now it's boring, and it appears we need to walk on eggshells lest we be scolded and possibly ejected. I dare the rest of you to express your true opinions and sentiments. Let it out what's the worst that can happen; you get kicked out and life goes on....this society closes its doors due to lack of membership and financial support... There are tons of useless groups in Skool, I thought the Society of Ordinary Gentlemen was one of two I belong to. Was I wrong??? And don't reach out to me by hiding within chat, this needs to be a public debate for everyone to attend!

Greetings, all. Yes, I've been on another long hiatus. My visits here will continue to be sporadic for the foreseeable future. Why? Short answer is: Life. Being a divorced father, full-time job, hobbies (especially writing my book series), chores, several kid's friend's bday parties in a row, etc. Anyway, I'll always wish you all well and glad to see how the society is growing, even if I can't be as much a part of it as I used to.
