Good morning gentlemen, Well today is the day! The men of RMRS have a chance to display their Coats of Armor! I am asking all the men in this community to post pictures on this post of them in their suits. It can be a two piece, three piece, a blazer, a sports coat, with a tie, without a tie, does not matter. I want to celebrate men in suits. I know many like my self wear them on a daily basis, some regularly, some occasionally, and some only on special occasions, and that is fine. We are not here to critique people or to down people for not wearing one. This is to celebrate men in suits and to remember the history of suits, and remember when there was a time when suits were the norm. It is my desire to help bring back the nostalgic of the suits in the hopes of also reminding men of the time when men greeted each other on the streets, when differences were settle with a drink of coffee or tea, when men would gather together to smoke a cigar or a pipe and have a drink, when men treated ladies like ladies, when a man in a suits was a role model for young men, and a desire for ladies. Gentlemen I want to show our appreciation to Antonio for creating this community and also to celebrate all the work that each of you have put not only into your lives but this community. And what better way than to show Antonio what he and his team have accomplished by showing him the product of his hard work. So gentlemen let’s see how many men we can get to post their pictures on this post. You can add as many different pictures under your name but please keep it to just one post so we can see how many participate in this and not double the count. Pass this on to everyone you know in this community and the other two communities as well. Let’s celebrate our hard work.

Good morning gentlemen. One thing about this journey that we are on, is that you never stop learning and growing. There are so many aspects of being a gentleman that if you take the time to look, listen, and think, you will find that so many things that we thought were old fashion, stuffy, and unpopular, that we thought we were to good for that, or that it was to expensive. One example for me was golf. I looked as it as an old man’s game, or one for the rich, or a complete waste of time. But in reality is it’s a challenging sport, it is a sport that can bring networking with other men and women, and it will definitely teach you humility and to be humble. Another aspect of this notion is I use to sit down at dinner and if I had a soda or tea with a meal I would drink about two glasses of it and not even think about it. And I would see people drink wine with their meals and I would be like “I can not afford to drink that for dinner”, thinking I would go broke drinking four or five glasses of wine ( mind you I’m thinking about how much I would drink and looking at how small wine glasses are,) so this was my mindset on this. One night me and my beautiful bride went out to dinner and we were given complimentary wine with our dinner from one of the restaurant we frequent (because you know I was not about to pay for that). So as they brought out our meal and the wine and I thinking I am going to have to order a glass of tea or something to go with this or I’m going to have cotten mouth by the end of the meal. And to my surprise at the end of the meal I still had like a half glass of wine and the food tastes amazing! I could not believe it! How could the same food that I have ordered numerous times ( because I’m a creature of habit) taste so much better this time? So me being Sherlock Holmes began to analyze this phenomenal experience, the only difference was the glass of wine. Could it make that much of a difference? And it did! I was like, I didn’t even drink that much of it while I was eating.

Rocking a good pair of sneakers with a suit may seem difficult but it’s doable. On some “casual” event nights at work, I realize the constantly walking can take a toll on my feet, so my main key is to stay confortable but always styling. Neutral colors and a contrast on the shoes brings attention and lots of great complements on the combination. Less is more. A good fitting suit, turtleneck shirt and a good looking pair of sneakers complies the style pyramid for me on an effortless night.
