^I'm loving the fitment of that henley. Not too tight, but really close around the sides. Ideal fitment right there. Could just be because he's so big (no mo).

True. I love the look of po-overs but have a hard time finding any, let alone well fitting. Most seem to be quite boxy around the bottom half, more so than a traditional button down.
Bron's Bastian henley is nice but pleated pants though?

I'm pretty sure this has been asked a million times. Don't kill me. Can anyone point me in the direction of some nice quality saddle shoes?
My range on saddle shoes is $75-$200. Thanks a lot.

Below are twenty-five pieces of vital information that every man over 14 in the Western world should know. Every man. No excuses. Seriously. Seriously.
- Unbutton the bottom button of your jacket. It’s not intended to be buttoned.
- Same goes for your vest.
- Remove the tags on the sleeves of your jacket before you wear it.
- Jackets sometimes come with white basting thread on their shoulders or holding closed their vents. Remove this thread before wearing the jacket.
- Jacket pockets are intended to be opened. Use a small scissor or seam ripper.
- More than three jacket buttons is never appropriate for anything.
- On a three-button coat, buttoning the top button is optional, and some lapels are rolled so as to make the top button ornamental. In other words: if buttoning the top button seems wrong, it is.
- Brown shoes, brown belt. Black shoes, black belt.
- Belt or suspenders. Never belt and suspenders.
- Your jacket sleeve should be short enough to show some shirt cuff - about half an inch.
- Your pants should end at your shoes without puddling. A slight or half break means that there is one modest inflection point in the front crease. If your pants break both front and back or if they break on the sides, they’re too long.
- Your coat should follow and flatter the lines of your upper body, not pool around them. You should be able to slip a hand in to get to your inside breast pocket, but if the jacket’s closed and you can pound your heart with your fist, it’s too big.
- When you buy a suit or sportcoat, it should be altered to fit by a tailor. This will cost between $25 and $100.
- Your tie should reach your belt line - it shouldn’t end above your belt or below it.
- Your tie knot should have a dimple.
- Only wear a tie if you’re also wearing a suit or sportcoat (or, very casually, a sweater). Shirt, tie and no jacket is the wedding uniform of a nine-year-old.
- The only men who should wear black suits during the day are priests, undertakers, secret agents, funerals attendees and yokels.
- Cell phone holsters are horrible.
- So are square-toed shoes.
- Never wear visible socks with shorts.
- Or any socks with sandals.
- If your shirt is tucked in, you should be wearing a belt (or suspenders, if you’re wearing a jacket as well, or your trousers should have side adjusters and no belt loops).
- Flip flops are great for the pool and the beach and not great for anything else. (Some say this is a matter of taste. We agree. If you have any taste, you will only wear flip-flops at the beach or pool.)
- Long ties are not appropriate with a tuxedo.
- Never wear polyester outside of the gym or theme parties.

Why do people hate pleats so much? Because GQ told you to?
- Jan 19, 2005
- 7,937

I'm thinking the same thing.
I think that pleats look very nice, especially on heavy wool pants.
- Mar 1, 2005
- 2,959

Don't really read GQ or believe that ALL 'fashion rules' should be followed exactly but I think it's an undeniable truth that pleats tend to make the wearers bottom portion look larger than it really is,
which in general, is undesirable. By Bron wearing such a well-fitting, untucked top, I was surprised to see him opt for pleated pants. I have seen pleats be pulled off properly but in my opinion, Bron's lines would have been a little cleaner had he chosen flat fronts.. Still a very nice look though.

Pleats are associated with older gentlemen, thats pretty well known. Not sure why you would think GQ has anything to do with that

For a tweed jacket, try your local thrift shop first. Just look for a harris tweed tag inside the jacket.
I picked up this Missoni x Target sweater today on impulse. Still on the fence about keeping it. Thoughts? (The right sleeve looks really scrunched but it fits fine I think)
