Memos from the command post.

Fashionable Teacher Week: Friday

In lieu of my original idea of posting a picture of myself suited up, here is a link to an amazing blog about menswear and how to dress properly.

The article is about how a jacket should fit, which is why I elected not to post a picture.  The jacket is ill fitting because I haven’t worn it for a while.  The waist needs to be taken in and the sleeves need to be about an inch shorter.  I need a trip to the tailor.  I don’t think I looked bad Monday through Thursday and I did not want to end the week looking like a douche.

ANYWAY, here’s that link.  Give them a follow while you’re there.  Tons of tips and a few bargains from some down to Earth guys.  This is my go-to blog for proper menswear.

Edit: here are a few other links.  Having only started learning how to dress like an adult in October I don’t want to sound full of myself, but I saw a few things this week that made me cringe.
