What is the foundation every man must own? I need a new wardrobe foe casual and professional wear Thank you! David

Gentlemen, Although it is currently mid-winter, I’m planning ahead and refining my wardrobe for the transition into milder, wetter weather later in the year. In your experience, what is the best men’s jacket for transitional weather that successfully balances: - Classic, timeless style - Practical protection from wind and light rain - Versatility with both casual and smart-casual outfits I’ve listed several traditional options in the poll below. Please vote for your top choice, and feel free to share your reasoning, brand recommendations, or personal experience in the comments. Thank you—looking forward to the discussion.

So I'm of the opinion that only jacket collars are to be popped or turned up against rain, wind, snow and cold. Also, once you enter a building or residence down it goes, similar to taking off a hat I guess. I don't see people doing this much anymore or if they have a turned up collar they leave it up all the time. I'm old enough to have lived through the early 2000's heinous trend of everyone running around with the collars on their polo's popped and I see younger guys doing it again now believe it or not. What's everyone's thoughts on this?

Hey gents I have a question! I bought my first Peacoat, and I see fotos of people dressing with all buttons close and others with One button Open. Honestly I prefer all close, because is a coat / jacket, not a blazer. So I'll throw out the question here. What is the correct way to use, in your opinion?

My first post and I look annoyed 😆 But it does illustrate a couple a styles that I combine together quite often. My black Master Supply Co trucker jacket (The Hardline) with a white oxford button down and a thin black tie on top. Wrangler black cowboy cut jeans, Boulet brown distressed cutter toe boots with a brown leather belt and a simple western buckle. I think it's a different twist on some classic looks and the leather trucker is a timeless design that squares the shoulders for a better profile. This is just out and about visiting some relatives today and I was caught getting irritated during a 20 minute goodbye lol. Note: the popped collar. I do it for wind, rain and cold on a jacket. I don't recommend it otherwise, lol.
