Somehow I got on the Articles of style mail list. A few weeks back I did a post on a flair legged (bell bottom) suit that was another porkey pig fitting too short skirted too high operable button atrocity for $2,000 that they had done. (Each pic same model) I was happy to open up their e mail to see an appropriate length on the tweed: Operable button buttons at models waist- Skirt is at least as long as his crotch. They had the grey flannel pic in the email but cut off the bell bottoms this time. Note how the grey flannel is not only too short at the skirt and too high at the operable button. This fashion trend which a lot of guys have become complacent about has become so common I believe guys aren’t recognizing its biggest risk. Just like the baggy three button (not 3/2) cuts of the 90s aren’t worn anymore-once this “fashion”oddity flips back to a more normal proportion with suits fitting as they have for over 100 years it will equal a lot wardrobe $$$$$$$$$$$$. While I will concede that the grey flannel is a more fitted versus the traditional sack cut front chest panel- that doesn’t excuse its length. Whew.😅 Sanity remains. There is some hope

Gentlemen, I want to share something with you. For the longest I had low self esteem which now looking back was why I had that non caring and not caring what others thought about me because I did not think much about myself. Thus led to the stepping away of the values that my parents and grandparents instilled in me, that opened that door for the world to tell me what they wanted me to be. I know now that this mindset hindered me in so many aspects of my life. It cost me jobs, promotions, relationships, business growth, and all of my own volition. Do not sell yourself short because that is how the world, and people around you will respond. The way people treat you is a reflection of how they see you. The way you let them treat you is a reflection of how you see yourself. You were not created to be a doormat for people, society, and the world to step on and clean their feet on. Create and be the best version of you and not a duplicate of others.

Good morning gentlemen, When I was growing up as a kid we wore pajamas. As I got older I always thought pajamas as for kids and old men clothing. And I'm sure myself and many of us went through that commando period of sleeping all natural. Then there was the period of wearing sweat pants or shorts to bed. So one day not too long ago, I was re evaluating my life, style, wardrobe, I was looking at clothes online and I saw these men in pajamas and matching robes. My first immature impression was “ man, they moved into grandpa status at an early age.” But then for some reason I kept looking at these pajamas and robes. Then I was listening to one of the pod cast about gentleman’s sleep wear and they were talking about men’s pajamas. I kept thinking “ I can’t sleep in that I would feel constrained!” But then I was like “ Okay, I am going back to that to that negative common rationale of what everyone is doing.” So I made a decision that I was going to give it a try. So I went to Walmart and found a pair of men’s pajamas, thinking “ I’ll get a cheap set so if I don’t like them I am not out a lot of money.” So I bought a pair and that night I put them on. To my surprise I was not only comfortable but it was like I had the best sleep in a long time. Now, my first impression was “ I was just really tired.” So the next night I wore them again. And I continued to wear them and I was sleeping more comfortable at night. I then was like “ Man, this is amazing.” Now I started thinking I want to get some more but better quality pairs of pajamas and get matching robes to put on instead of the old robe that I had for years that most of the time hung up in the closet. So I I found a couple of sets in Satan and flannel for colder nights. But what I found out is this. I use to shower throw on some sweat pants and a old logo shirt ( that is what I use my old logo shirts for now) and read, lounge around the house, maybe watch a movie or something. But now after showering and putting on my pajamas and matching robe, I feel so relaxed and comfortable at home. I even have a pair of nice house slippers instead of the socks, flip flops, or bare foot method that I use to do,
