Clever title.

Let's get things rolling. Former turnstile-hopping Missionary-tuned-architect decides to start dressing better, since there's no more work for architects:
"I'm a 31 year old architect in Richmond, VA, and I recently ran into the blog "Art of Manliness" which led me to others and generally got me thinking a little more about how I dress. I expressed this to my wife, and for Christmas some family chipped in, and I was given a budget of $250 for a new suit."

Good luck, Corbusier.

DukeGrad, long a favorite with many around here, is posting virtually stream-of-ununsciousnessly, with some help from his ghostwriter Jim Beam:

Plenty more where that came from.

"I usually do not do this, and I know the difference between the suit and the sport jacket, but I do not have enough space in my luggage and I will be traveling abroad for a week of meetings and I am thinking in pack two suits (blue and grey), and two more trousers. I intend to use as suits (for the more formal occasions) and also the jackets as separates intending to have 4 combinations for a week of meetings. Is that OK or it will look weird? Any suggestions?"

Southern gentleman sees the error of his ways and apologizes for snark - which the moderators had already deleted anyway.

He pointed out that Dukegrad was talking about Scotland when the post concerned Ireland. Thread continues discussing the plethora of strange currencies used in Europe and in-depth analysis of the current economic situation.

Good job the poor man does not post here or he would be forever apologizing.
