I am 66. I have about 10 pairs of Levi 505. I buy them stiff and never washed and fade them out over time. I wear them for work around the house and small errands. I never wear them after 5 PM. After many washings i sell them at flea markets. Levi 505 have been good for me and i have worn them for about 55 years.

I am wearing jeans today - in town - dark unwashed indigo - slim fit medium rise - with burgundy round toed chukkas - and rust red awning strip OCBD - opened necked and khaki field jacket. I must say I look great! I take great pains to not look like mutton dressed as lamb or to look too "old man". Its a hard line to walk.

I see millions (would you believe hundreds? - well I did see one) blokes on the train over 40 - 50 wearing low rise jeans with pot bellies hanging over - shortening their legs - lengthening their torso and making them look like dicks.

The real question with WM is he in fact OLD ENOUGH to wear what he wears? Discuss.

Haha. I think my style is perfectly fitting for a man of 34.  I try to select tweeds that aren't too fuddy duddy.  I like a slender fit which is youthful, yet not 20-year-old hipster tight.  I try to be mindful.  The cardigans are squarely geriatric however.  Hmmmm.  Good question.

And you may ask yourself, how did that moth hole get there?

Thing about jeans is that despite the fact in most cases sta-prest/chinos/flannels etc can look alot better for cheaper there just something about crips Levi's or Lee jeans that make me wear em every so often even though trousers that I have fit/look much better.
