There are so many gentlemen in this group (> 13,000) but only a handful are active contributors to the discussions. It would be interesting to know the geographical distribution of these contributors. Here is the poll. Where do you live? This is part 1, there's more to come.

Do to some unseen force, you are forced to select only 2 Jackets, 2 shirts, 2 trousers, and 2 pair of shoes, which would you select and why? This could be from your current wardrobe or pieces you are looking to add. You could sub out pairs of trousers and jackets for a suit(s) but at the end, no more than the 8 pieces named above. edit: Ok, you can pick two ties or pocket squares to total 10 pieces in all

In many videos I watch and comments I read, I often see and hear comments in absolute. By this I mean a man MUST, NEVER, or ALWAYS. In my experience as an almost 54 year old man, nothing in life is absolute. My day begins with getting a family fed and out the door. Getting myself to work (either home or office), working my day, stopping at the grocery store for dinner items, cooking dinner, prepping lunches etc. At any step in between there may oil changes, household repairs, lawns to mow, firewood to chop, and the list goes on. While I do my best to look my best, from time to time, I will appear in public looking like I just crawled out of a hole or out from under a car. That's because I did. simply put, changing out of the clothes I "MUST" wear to accomplish tasks that cannot go ignored is next to impossible. Many of us, I imagine, are not the guy that calls "the guy that does the..." but rather, we are the guy! For the work I/we do, that cannot be ignored, please excuse the crocs, T's, and hoodie. Men are often not only called upon to find the solution but are also the very tool required to perform the labor. This is not a response to any one post or video but rather in response to an observation of many.
