As would "the leather stiffeners."
The Out of Puffs would be a good name for some old farts playing covers. My mate used to have an old farts band called The Recliner Rockers.*
* I'm not sure they are called recliner rockers outside oz so maybe the joke doesn't travel.
On that " Crazy Shoe Day in December" shooey and me looked at more shoes up closely than most iGentts have seen in pictures in a lifetime.
Corrected grain was used on a lot of good shoes and appropriately.
Shooey know his shoes and has no false snobbery. Ok he's a bit snobby on leather soles, and he needs to loosen up a bit a try some nice crepe soles and he needs to get hip to a bit of brown suede. But other than that he's the man.

The first two pics have a certain panache that the next two decidedly do not.
I'm not sure why you'd think that a three piece suit, featuring sleeves several inches too long, worn with mocassins is costumey and not normal daily attire.
By sexless do you mean androgynous or involuntarily celibate?

I read Gil's entertaining posts on Pens and wedding rings, and I will shortly be entering my car, driving to the middle of the span of the George Washington Bridge and jumping off. Before I go I must share my final insight on the ultimate iGent criterion for establishing the value of something. It isn't fit, or comfort, or utility, or the low price (close, though) or even status--it is being noticed and complimented upon by others. Posts are full of "compliments from ladies", "compliments from strangers", "many compliments", etc.
And as I am plummeting to the icy waters of the Hudson I will take with me the example of devotion of the pussywhipped Shriner and un-Jewish, traditionless Great Twizz, he of the diamond wedding ring, who now wears only "...a signet ring for my lodge, which I now stop wearing in my fiancée's presence, as it abrades her ring when we hold hands."
