I remember a time when I would just grab whatever shirt was close whatever pants that were close, throw them on grab the closet shoes and out the door. No attention to style or detail, I was covered and that is all that mattered. Then as I started this journey, I became more focused, intentional in my clothes and appearance. But now, I have noticed in my choice in shirts have changed. Don’t get me wrong I love to wear a polo shirt when playing golf, and I still have some old t-shirts that I use strictly for workouts and yard work, camping and outdoor activities. But I find myself wanting and liking wearing dress shirts and button down shirts. They for me are so much practical for almost any situation. You can wear them with almost anything even shirts. But you can add a tie, throw a jacket and go from casual to semi casual or business casual in a short time. But I love the look, the feel, and style or wearing them. So gentlemen, my question to you what is your go to shirt? Do you have a particular style polo vs. dress shirts? Do you prefer one over the other? And tells us why you selected this category.

I had yet another interesting and confusing, for the other person, conversation today with someone who called themselves a "traditionalist" - all the while conflating Hollywood myth with historical fact. This article from Ripley's Believe It Or Not speaks to the fact that the Cowboy Hat did not, in fact, win the West... In fact, most of the famous events, encounters, and shoot-outs involving famous Wild-West outlaws and lawmen - which many people, in their minds' eyes, typically picture wearing black and white cowboy hats - actually took place years before John Stetson invented what became known as the Cowboy Hat. Hollywood virtually erased the actual hat that won the West from the minds of many, for one simple reason: Hollywood wanted viewers to instantly know whether a character was a city-goer or a cowboy. This, of course, is in spite of the fact that - in real life, in the actual West - there was no real difference. Hollywood also used a similar, completely mythical, hat trope to allow viewers to instantly distinguish between the good guy and the bad guy - by way of the color of their hat. So, if you want to truthfully be a traditionalist and sport the hat that actually won the West, you should probably pick yourself up a Bowler...
