Hi everyone! My name is Xander and I am located in the Chicagoland area. I was introduced to this community as sharing my values in dressing and gentlemanly conduct. I was always fascinated by the gentlemen of centuries past; knights, 19th century gentlemen of the romantics, and my own gentleman farmer ancestors included. It’s something is both aspirational and inspirational to me. Gentlemanly style and grooming is a new element I have begun to study; and I have to say I feel more like myself in a sports jacket and boots than in a graphic tee and blue jeans.

It's easily one of if not my favorite holiday! I figured I could give some inspiration for costumes that still keep a dressed up look. The characters I included are Patrick Bateman, James Bond, Eggsy, Bruce Wayne, and Wolverine. I'm not sure if I'll actually wear a costume for Halloween yet. I've thought about going to a competition to possibly win some money and hanging out with my cousins.
