How do I get one of those little titles beneath my avatar? All the cool kids have got something, but I'm stuck with "Well-known member", which makes me sound like the number 2 stunt cock at Vivid Entertainment.
 
What do you guys think of textured trousers?
If I have a lightweight flannel in mid grey, and a mid grey twill, is a miniherringbone in gray suitable for a third pair of trousers?
 
This isn't clothing related, but I just got a vertical scratch on my nose from my cat.

It was feeling a bit cantankerous and, when I tried to pick it up like a furry baby, it scratched my nose in retribution.

Should I just put a band-aid (sticking plaster) on it (as I've already done), or do I run the risk of nasal scarring if I don't take further action, such as going to a doctor?

If the scratch isn't deep just use neosporin every time you change the bandaid.

Sounds good. Nothing wrong with texture in trousers. What kind of dabric is the herringbone?

Make sure its clean - the wound - not the cat - as cats claws have a universe of nasties

Careful. I'd only wear one pair at a time - not 3!
 
Why don't you double up on the classics? Flannel will wear out quick smart, so why don't you grab a few pairs of plain flannel trousers in slightly different grey colours? You could throw a brown in there for good measure and then focus on a good pair of moleskins and cords. Don't be the buzzy cunt in the office with the weird fucking pants. There's no coming back from that.

It's hard to see on the phone but they look fine to me. I've only got one pair of herringbone trousers and strangely they are cotton. It gives them a nice heft so they look wool. I also have A beautiful vintage Brooks no 1 suit in a perfect grey herringbone. It looks wonderful but sadly has moth holes. I keep it as a archive /library piece. I have herringbone jackets. Now I remember I also have a tan sort of golden brown linen suit. It looks winter y. I can't recall seeing bad herringbone now I think of it. Except a herringbone weave shirt. I don't like them. I suppose herringbone trousers could look strange if the material was too chunky.
 
I didn't want to go through the SF/AAAC meta commentary thread but I just bought a suit online and I thought it was dark charcoal (really dark), but it turns out against my pure black suit that I use for funerals it's only one shade lighter. I'd say subtle like the "Mark Forums Read, Search Forums" menu bar and the "Home, etc." black background at the top of this forum on PC.

Are people going to scoff at me for being Japanese, or funereal, Victorian, or mistaken me for a man in service?

In the winter it won't matter much since the sun isn't out.
 
So,

Since Thruth Thruth got me into the shoo bullshit
I have bought the following shoos since I joined this stupid fucking forum

Carmina Tan/Cognac Wingtips
Carmina Burgundy Split toes Bluchers
Yanko Double Monks on Burgundy
Carmina Jumper Boots on scotch grain on brown vegano

I also have a pair of chunky chocolate AE Wingtips

What's next?

I'm not into debt and carmina is as much as I can pay, perhaps Vass? But only Thruth Thruth can help me there?

If this should be in the shoe/bootie thread, please Grand Potentate Grand Potentate move it there

Vass is way more than Carmina. There just saved you some $$
 
Split toes? Nooooooooooo!

Dubbmunkkxxx? Get thee to SF!

Seriously, the most basic thing you're missing is a good pair of black toe cap oxfords. It sounds like you wouldn't wear them much, so if get a good pair they could last for the rest of your life, and they're really useful for basically any formal thing unless it actually requires opera pumps.

Although Rambo is right, if you don't actually need anything, why buy anything?

Shut the fuck up. I dont wear suits, usually the dub monks and the split toes are for going out and so on. Jeans and bla bla bla. I don't see myself wearing one of those, specially big money for them, but could be?

WTF? Go out and get the black AE Park Avenue as required by law! What if you had to attend a funeral tomorrow? Or a job interview for some crazy white collar job?

I hate those shoes, fucking hate them. They are not chunky in a nice way, but in a god awful away.

Then you should buy commission a suit. Are you really going to appear before a jury in odd trousers and reddish dubmunx?

Are you saying because I'm a greasy spic I'm going to jail? I could have gotten a Hickey Freeman for 400, should have done it.
