who WHAT WHERE WHEN how why POST2 WHAT is the American Classic Timeless Menswear style? Well let’s answer that by stating what it is as well as what it isn’t. It is a STYLE that is born out of the melting pot that is America. It isn’t merely personal style and it certainly isn’t fashion. The melting pot that is America is a conglomerate of multiple personal styles. From the ever expanding push of the fiercely independent Ulster Scotts (think Jim Bowie, Davie Crockett, Mark Twain and more modern innovators like, Neil Armstrong, to Elvis Presley to Steve McQueen) individuality has never been an issue in America. From the English, German, Dutch, Hispanic, Native American, African, Asian….ad infinitum, these diverse influencers have formed the American STYLE. America’s conformity has always been NON conformity. It is a stew of diverse ingredients that fluctuates and blends into its own savory serving. To reduce style to merely personal style is well-a boring statement. I’ve always said fashion is “out of”the second it’s “in” -Whereas “style” is never “out of”. This is the spine of Classic Timeless Menswear yet hard to clearly define when one adds the adjective American. And the reason it is so- the WHAT that makes it distinguishable is because certain elements simply have been proven to work over time. Now to give fashion a fair shake, absolutely nothing that is enduring style began without firstly being a “fashion” statement. The most obvious would be the use of a military coat becoming a sport coat. This Fashion statement attributed to Beau Brummel over 200 years ago when he introduced this tailored concept to the Regent court (as well as the concept bathing daily😷) and certainly the lapeled suit or sportcoat has long endured all over the globe. This once “fashion” statement has become the basis of Menswear for a long time. American styled menswear was a fashion statement based on COMFORT, Possibly the biggest event in the past 125 years was the advent of comfortable clothing for men attending college-specifically New England colleges.

The Mrs and I starting the day off at my cousins showing at the funeral home and now heading to our church to pay respects to a great man of God and made a huge impact in the wife and i’s life and he was a greeter and was always in a suit and always smiling and made you feel warm inside and he loved my wife’s pup since gis passed away. So after his showing we will be hustling to get to my parents for Easter. Gents this is how short life is , so make sure it counts , make the best and biggest impact , don’t put off anything cause your not promised Tommorow not even the next 10 minutes So feeling pretty humbled today

So we did my cousins showing and when the Mrs and I got to church no one was greeting or working our guest desk and normally on Sundays I work as a greeter and wife works the desk so both of us jumped into the positions today. Even though we are grieving for my cousin and a friend we also are personable to grieve with the friends and family of the friend that passed. Sometimes it takes being on the same ground level as others, it takes them seeing the look on your face as you see the same look on their face so it helps them with their grieving process as well. There’s no right way to grieve any loss. I cried softly on the way to church and then sucked it back together so even greeting I could help others grieve. And it’s not about me so please don’t look at me like im something special cause I’m not , use what I’m sharing to help others in their time of need even when your going through something hard.
