SO what's all this I'm reading about in the OP, saying that a tie with a black button up shirt is an atrocity?

I'll have you know that I look rather dapper in my black shirt with electric blue or pink tie.

No, you look like your mother or 15 year old emo girlfriend dressed you.

A guy tried wearing a pair as cleats on an astroturf field for ultimate frisbee, thinking the toes would help him grip.

They were terrible.

A lot of runners like to run barefoot, but there are issues that come with that: field hazards, no support etc. so these are probably the closest you'll get.

Those things with the toes are, I believe, intended for surfing or other water sports.

Really, they ought to be called FiveToes.

Thought you folks would like to know that Put This On just launched this week. It's a video podcast about clothing. The first episode is up now, talking denim jeans. Pretty neat interview to start it off and some tips by the always dry-humored Adam Lisagor. They also seem to be blogging a bit about clothing, so you might want to keep an eye on that as well.

First post upon opening the site, calling everyone that buys a trilby douchebags.

That might be one I'll keep an eye on.

Ya but the amount of extra dexterity you would get would not be worth sacrificing the warmth, which is I assume the whole reason you are wearing anything at all in a water sports scenario.

Probably also for grip in a surfing context. The surface of boards, canoes, or kayaks can be pretty slippery. In the summer I usually just use tevas for that kind of thing, or neoprene booties for the other three seasons.

Also looks a bit longer than a pea coat. Like maybe a full overcoat.

Is it just me, or does the flap on the ticket pocket overlap the flap of the right waist pocket? I've never seen that style before.
It is a different style that is rarely used. The suit jacket is about an inch or two shorter than a normal conservative cut and due to reduced real estate it looks better if you make the ticket pocket overlap.
Ah, that makes sense. I didn't really notice that the jacket was shorter. The overlap looks a bit weird to me, but that might be because I'm used to seeing ticket pockets being sort of 'inner-edge-aligned' (if that makes any sense whatsoever) rather than being centred over the bigger pocket, which it looks like it is on yours and I'm going to stop typing now because I can make no sense of what I'm saying a blur bloo blar.

maybe other water sports but there is no way someone is going to wear booties surfing unless it is cold enough to warrant neoprene

These are nice, and I need a new pair. Not sure how hard it will be to get here in the RoK though.

I may be doing a huge shop soon, so I may have to post some current photos and get you guys to help me out. Mostly looking for casual stuff, bar clothes, and maybe some slightly dressier stuff for work/dates. Haven't bought clothes in a while, so not sure...

Well maybe you do, but when you've got my stature, bearing and features you don't.
