Re: Sartorial hates

I would imagine dislike of bow ties is fairly common.

OK with a dinner jacket - but a bit poncy otherwise.

- Capri pants (on men)
- Casual pants that are too baggy or too short, or again so long that the bottom of the leg is rubbing against the pavement.
- Mesh caps
- Pointy, curling up shoes

Re: Sartorial hates

I cannot join the bow tie dislike / hate crowd.  I really like them, but you have to be judicious about wearing them.  Also, I think shirt selection is of primary importance to making them look good.  As to the monks, they have become an igent bromide so I am becoming sick of them.

Re: Sartorial hates

My pride has been lacerated and I still bleed shame from every pore as I confess that I like and wear bow ties and Rolexes.
I have worn a Rolex Oyster Perpetual for 32 years which I remove only in the Operating Room because of sterility guidelines. In its defense I will say no other watch I have worn whilst the Rolex was being serviced withstood the beating, nor did any other serve as well for both sporting activity and at nighttime functions.
As for the bow ties, it's an old French surgical tradition to prefer bow ties. The bow tie doesn't gracelessly flop into purulent or bloody wounds as regular neckties are wont to do when you bend over to examine the tissues. It is also less likely to be ruined by errant flying hospital cafeteria sauce in those hurried lunches one occasionally must endure when an otherwise civilized lunch is importuned by an emergency.

So, for my dislikes:
That whole untucked shirt with >$200 pre faded or pre torn jeans and long toe box shoes look.

Things that make me laugh uncharitably:
Flamboyantly displayed pocket square

Dislikes that should instead inspire pity:
That Woofer guy or Wolfster (rhymes with...)  or whatever his moniker is


Cógelo suave, pero cógelo.

Re: Sartorial hates

Between the years we paid the Big B a visit and the four collar pins i saw where four too much. There are things only few people know how to pull off. So please, leave the collar pin to Salk, turtlenecks under odd jackets (brrrrrrrr) to Sagan and white cowboyboots to Lemmy.

Bright yellow or gold ties. Followed by bright red shiney ties.

Brings to mind; ill fitting black shiney suits, Used Car salesmen, Real Estate Agents or sporty jock dopes who read some book somewhere on "power dressing"

Re: Sartorial hates

I do not like those contrasting colored buttonholes, or more properly, the solitary brightly colored cuff buttonhole or lapel buttonhole. It strikes me as the idea of the tailor, not the client.

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

Re: Sartorial hates

IIRC, the coloured button hole thing started with Oswald Boeteng as part of a signature look along with vibrantly coloured cloths, slim silhouettes &c

Re: Sartorial hates

Super spit-shiney toes on shoes.

Naff knitted ties with square edges - esp when worn with suits

Cheap double monks iGents buy because they think DMs are cool. I don't dislike this style of shoe per se but if you are going to get a pair save up and get some JL Williams!!
